I’ve been throwing around an expression in my last three cigar reviews – “build a core line and they will come”. But in reality, when it comes to Tatuaje it really is “release a limited cigar and they will come”. Tatuaje has always caught the attention of cigar enthusiasts with their retail only exclusive cigars. […]
In my last review of the E.P. Carrillo Core Line, I mentioned “build a core line and they will come”. I guess to some extent this holds true for Tatuaje Cigars, but Tatuaje really has built their reputation on their limited releases. Ultimately, I think the success of any cigar line comes down to a […]
In my last review, I explored the El Triunfador blend by smoking the El Triunfador No. 6. El Triunfador is a line of cigars that is a line of cigars from Tatuaje. El Triunfador was the name of an old Cuban line of cigars. The brand name was resurrected by Tatuaje head Pete Johnson. This […]
One piece of feedback I have gotten on this web-site is that I don’t spend enough time talking about the Tatuaje line. To some extent, there is truth to this, but the only reason is I do not have a lot of access to much of the Tatuaje line in Charlotte, North Carolina area. Many […]
I’ve decided to go ahead and continue the month in review series. This is the second installment. In this series, I will highlight some noteworthy events that happened in the world of cigars. I’ll focus on noteworthy events and smokes that I explored on the Cigar Coop website and throw in a few other tidbits […]
Opinions are of Cigar Coop and Cigar Coop alone The Pete Johnson interview at W. Curtis Draper Tobacconists this past weekend has created quite a stir – and not just for the insights into Tatuaje’s 2011 releases. The comments he made about some recent Candela releases have created quite a stir. Yours truly posted his […]
Opinions here are of Cigar Coop and Cigar Coop alone I debated for about 12 hours whether to post an opinion on what I saw on The Stogie Review’s 20:15 Interview with Tatuaje’s Pete Johnson. After thinking about it, I felt another point of view needed to be documented here. First up, I am a […]
When it comes to limited run cigars, I’ve been a bit hesitant about putting them into a Cigar of the Year countdown. My reasons are simply, should a hard to find cigar be considered for such an honor – or should it come down to how good the cigar is? After smoking the Tatuaje Anarchy, […]
The second review for 2010 is the cigar that I ranked the #2 Cigar of the Year in my Top 30, the Tatuaje Gran Cojonu 2009. This might be one of the most impressive big ring gauge cigars I ever had. The Tatuaje Gran Cojonu 2009 was a late release in 2009. It came out […]
#2: Tatuaje Gran Cojonu 2009 “30 Cigars in 31 Days” is coming to its conclusion. In my review of the Top 30 Cigars it is time to reveal the runner-up for 2010. In this case, the expression “Close but no cigar” could not be less true. Coming in at #2 – for the runner-up slot […]
