Quick Smoke: Tatuaje Seleccion de Cazador 7th

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

Around this year’s industry trade show, Pete Johnson announced multiple new sizes for his Tatuaje lines, including this “7th” size, which is the first full-size Seleccion de Cazador to be made in Don Pepin’s Nicaraguan factory instead of in Miami. The well-constructed vitola (5.6 x 46)  features classic Pepin woody spice along with toasty and meaty notes. For those of you worried that not being crafted in Miami may mean this is a lesser Tatuaje, rest assured. This new size is every bit as good as the original six cigars in the blend.

Verdict = Buy.
