Tatuaje Black Label Private Reserve Toro - Box of 20

Personal blends for cigar makers have been around for a very long time and considering their origins, it comes as no surprise that some examples have been extremely well regarded by cigar smokers over the years. However, when discussing modern day Nicaraguan brands, you can’t talk about the history of personal blends without including the Tatauje Black Label Private Reserve.
After a trip that Pete Johnson took to Cuba in the early part of his career as a cigar maker, he met a man who was kind enough to gift him a cigar described as the man’s personal blend & he liked the cigar so much that upon returning to the United States, he decided to try and recreate that blend, and thus the Private Reserve was born.

“I decided when travelling to Nicaragua to work with the Garcia family that I would try to recreate this special cigar for myself. Together we spent quite some time working on the blend and looking at different leaves for the wrapper. The marbled toothy wrapper was perfect for this cigar, rustic looking but with tons of aroma. After smoking the first sample, I was immediately brought back to that island relaxing on a fence, enjoying life, smoking a great cigar. A great cigar that will always in my mind represent the place, the time and the experience of the purity of the simple life. This cigar may be considered ugly by some but inside that surface roughness it contains such rich flavour and aroma.”

As International Members of the PCA, and for the first time ever, Tor have been able to secure an allocation of these exclusive cigars from Pete Johnson. The only territories that these cigars are being sold in are the USA (including Puerto Rico) and the UK.
We predict that they will be an incredibly sought after cigar by UK New World Cigar Collectors!

Tatuaje cigars are Nicaraguan puros handmade in Miami, Florida by the most highly-skilled torcedors under the guidance of Cuban "maestro tabaquero", Jose Pepin Garcia. Created by Pete Johnson, each Tatuaje cigar is handcrafted with 1st generation Nicaraguan Cuban-seed tobaccos cured to perfection and finished in zesty Ecuadorian-grown Habano wrappers with a beautiful Cuban-style triple cap.

​These medium to full-bodied cigars are perfectly balanced with a rich, earthy and spicy complexity. All Tatuaje cigars have received favourable ratings from Cigar Aficionado, most of them rating in the 90+ categories.
