The Tatuaje Cojonu 2012 Habano is a box-pressed toro that showcases the brand's signature Cuban-inspired craftsmanship with an oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper cloaking Nicaraguan binder and filler. Noticeable notes of cedar, coffee and pepper can be found throughout this delicious full-bodied smoke, with a flavor profile that is a mix of cocoa, creamy coffee, sweetness and a light, citrusy note that blooms into caramel like flavors through the middle and back end. The Cojonu series, which takes its name from Cuban slang for having cojones or being ballsy, has been produced by Pete Johnson in three-year intervals since 2003. Handmade in Nicaragua at the My Father Factory in Estelí under the watchful eye of Don "Pepín" Garcia and family, this cigar represents the collaboration between Johnson's rock-and-roll authenticity and the García family's traditional Cuban techniques. The 2012 release marks the first box-pressed vitola in the Cojonu series. The Cojonu 2012 Habano offers a medium strength, medium-bodied smoke from start to finish, though some sources describe it as full strength. The cigar gets high scores for construction attributes with a low maintenance burn requiring minimal touch-ups and an outstanding draw, making it a joy to smoke. This premium offering continues the Tatuaje tradition of delivering complex, well-balanced cigars that reflect the brand's commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
