This is the description of the cigar per Holt’s website: “This cigar shares a wrapper leaf with Tatuaje’s prized Black Label. It certainly isn’t Pepin’s strongest blend but what it lacks in punch it more than makes up for with a complex and dizzying blast of flavors ranging from spicy earth and cedar to creamy […]
Tatuaje Black Robusto
I would have loved to review a candela cigar this week in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, but sadly, I didn’t have much luck finding one in time. Call it luck of the Irish, Jerry saw to it that the need for a green cigar review was filled. Complete with a fiery red beard and […]
Tatuaje Noella Reserva
Hmmm maybe thats Reserva Noellas…whatever, it don’t matter. Its not important. What is important is that these Noellas are bang’n. Imagine if a Tatuaje Black and a Tatuaje Brown got together, hooked up and had babies. Pete Johnson describes the Tatuaje Noella Reserva as a “little monster” (in reference to The Frank in his Monster […]
Ambos Mundos (Sumatra)
Word! Shout out to Jason Alcantara who gave me the heads up that the Ambos Mundos was available at a local B&M. Now if you remember back towards Halloween and my 26 Minutes with Pete Johnson interview you will remember that Pete talked a little bit about an economical smoke due out early in 2009. […]
El Triunfador
Rated it a 91 Lisa from Her Humidor -> Said it was “well balanced and strong” Stew from The World According to Stew -> Stew gave it 2 Thumbs Up
The FRANK by Tatuaje (Guest Review)
This guest review comes from our friend Rich Meade of the Stogie Review Fan Forums. Happy Holidays everyone! I have been exploring the bottom shelf at my b&m for a good month now. Smoking bundled sticks, bargain sticks, and anything that strikes me as interesting, while remaining under $3.00. So to show my gratitude to […]
What exactly is a boutique manufacturer?
Last weekend I decided to create a daily discussion on the Stogie Review Fan Forums. The idea was to pose a discussion topic to the members of the forum for a days time. After that day elapsed, I would lock the thread and pose a brand new topic. Our second topic was one that went […]

Tatuaje Black (Saturday Supplemental)
This week’s Saturday Supplemental strays a bit from the normal template. Instead of revisiting a cigar that either we’ve reviewed in the past and videoing my thoughts on it, this is a completely new cigar review. Why not do my standard written review for it, you ask? Well, I only have one Tatuaje Black, and […]
