Tatuaje is Pete Johnson’s cigar brand, and most Tatuaje cigars are made at the My Father Cigars S.A. factory of the García family in Estelí, Nicaragua. The Tatuaje cigars we list run from medium to full body, with wrappers that include Mexican San Andrés (Tuxtla), Connecticut Broadleaf and Habano. Typical notes from our product descriptions include earthy San Andrés character in the Cojonu 2012 Tuxtla and rich cocoa in the Reserva J21 Broadleaf. The shop also lists cigars from L’Atelier, a separate brand Pete Johnson started in 2012 and also has made at My Father Cigars, such as the LAT54 (cocoa, earth and pepper). For a medium-bodied start, try the Tatuaje Reserva Short SW; if you already enjoy fuller cigars, try the Tatuaje Reserva J21 Broadleaf. Flavour varies by blend and cigar, so treat these as typical notes.

Frequently asked questions about Tatuaje Cigars
Who makes Tatuaje cigars, and where are they made?
Tatuaje is Pete Johnson’s cigar brand. Cigar Aficionado reports that most Tatuaje cigars are made at the My Father Cigars S.A. factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, the factory of the García family, who also grow some of the brand’s Nicaraguan wrapper leaf.
How strong are Tatuaje cigars?
The Tatuaje cigars we list range from medium to full bodied. The Reserva Short SW is described as medium-bodied, and the Cojonu 2012 Tuxtla, Reserva J21 Broadleaf and Avion as full-bodied. The L’Atelier LAT54 the shop also lists comes from L’Atelier, Pete Johnson’s separate brand, and is described as medium-full. Choose by the individual blend rather than treating the whole brand as one strength.
Which Tatuaje cigar should I try first, and how do the lines differ?
For a medium-bodied introduction, start with the Tatuaje Reserva Short SW. If you already enjoy fuller cigars, try the Reserva J21 Broadleaf, a Connecticut Broadleaf maduro-wrapped cigar typically noted for rich cocoa. The Cojonu 2012 Tuxtla uses a dark Mexican San Andrés wrapper with earthy character, while the Avion is a full-bodied cigar with a Habano wrapper. L’Atelier cigars such as the LAT54 belong to a separate brand Pete Johnson formed in 2012, not to a Tatuaje line. The Create Your Own Sampler lets you compare several Tatuaje blends side by side.
