Pete Johnson, owner of Tatuaje Cigars, did an experiment in 2022. He released three short robustos called Cohete (Spanish for “rocket”), and gave them three different wrappers. All of them were memorable smokes, but the blend that really took off for us was the Capa Especial, which is wrapped in an attractive leaf of Sumatra-seed tobacco grown in Ecuador. It was also the tastiest Tatuaje we had in 2022. Made in Nicaragua by My Father Cigars, the cigar bursts with spicy notes of nutmeg, cumin and black pepper all fortified by an underlying earthiness and hint of chocolate. The finish leaves a touch of cinnamon on the palate making this a bold and delicious creation.
