About this cigar
Tatuaje's Nicaragua Cojonu line represents the house's most ambitious expression of Nicaraguan tobacco. The 2018 vintage draws on Pete Johnson's decades of sourcing relationships in Esteli, delivering a cigar that tastes of dark cocoa, black pepper, and something almost leather-like in its construction. This is not a beginner's smoke. It's the kind of cigar serious collectors reach for when they want complexity without pretense. The Cojonu hits its stride in the second third, where the spice softens into cream and the profile deepens toward coffee and cedar. Strength hovers in the medium-full range, making it perfect for an end-of-day ritual or after a substantial dinner. The construction is flawless, the burn unwavering. This is Tatuaje doing what Tatuaje does best: refusing to follow trends while building a loyal cult following among those who know. For your lounge or retail operation, the Cojonu carries serious credibility with discerning customers. The 21-count box is ideal for mixed inventory, letting you stock a prestigious regular production without overcommitting. These cigars age beautifully if you have the space, but they're equally rewarding fresh.
