Tatuaje Especiales Reserva Broadleaf

The Tatuaje Especiales Reserva Broadleaf is a refined lancero (7½ x 38) from Pete Johnson’s esteemed Reserva Broadleaf series, delivering a rich, complex smoking experience for aficionados of traditional craftsmanship and modern blending. Crafted at the renowned My Father Cigar Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua—under the vigilant eye of Don Pepin Garcia and Pete Johnson—this cigar highlights the best of Connecticut Broadleaf in a classic Cuban-style presentation.

• Elegant lancero format (7½ x 38) with a distinctive pigtail cap and Cuban triple-cap construction for visual flair and perfect draw
• Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper— thick, chewy, and naturally sweet, offering signature richness and earthy complexity
• All-Nicaraguan binder and filler—pure Cuban-seed Nicaraguan tobaccos provide depth, strength, and a peppery kick
• Medium to full strength profile— balanced but robust, ideal for lovers of flavor-forward smokes
• Created by Don Pepin Garcia & Pete Johnson—a collaboration of legendary expertise
• Meticulously handmade by master rollers at the My Father Cigar Factory for flawless construction and burn

Upon lighting, the Especiales Reserva Broadleaf offers toasty, peppery notes up front, with the Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper imparting rich sweetness and supple earth. As the cigar develops, flavors blossom into creaminess, leather, spices, and hints of baked goods—a journey underpinned by walnut, mushroom, and subtle wood. The smoke is dense, chewy, and perfectly balanced, distinctly less peppery than Tatuaje’s original Brown Label, but with greater roundness and naturally sweet character from the broadleaf wrapper.

Originally launched in 2017 and now packaged in accessible 10-count boxes, this cigar is a testament to both the artistry of the Garcia family and Pete Johnson’s passion for Connecticut Broadleaf. Slow-burning and elegantly constructed, it is equally suited for contemplative solo sessions or celebratory pairings with fine spirits—offering aficionados a sophisticated and evolving experience with every draw.
