Tatuaje 7th Tuxtla

Tatuaje 7th Tuxtla is a 5 5/8 x 46 Corona Gorda that dresses the 7th, the best known size of the Tatuaje Selección de Cazador (Brown Label), in a Mexican San Andrés wrapper. It belongs to the limited Tuxtla series, which Pete Johnson built by reinterpreting existing Tatuaje cigars with a Mexican wrapper. The name honours San Andrés Tuxtla, the city at the centre of Mexico’s premium tobacco region.

The cigar is handmade in Estelí, Nicaragua, at the My Father Cigars factory. A dark, oily Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper covers a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan long fillers, and the cigar is finished with a Cuban style triple cap. The strength is medium to full. Expect earth, dark chocolate, espresso and cedar, with black pepper, leather and a touch of natural sweetness.

The 7th is a classic Corona Gorda, with a size that keeps the blend focused. Reviewers describe generous smoke output, a firm ash and a draw that can run a little snug. Plan on roughly 60 to 75 minutes, depending on pace. It suits an unhurried afternoon or evening smoke.

This cigar appeals to smokers who want the savoury, earthy character of San Andrés in a familiar format. It also suits Tatuaje fans who know the original 7th and want a darker, richer version.
