Tatuaje Escasos HUNTER Series

A limited project teased by Pete Johnson (owner/founder of Tatuaje Cigars) for years on end, the Tatuaje Escasos eventually debuted in 2019 to the delight of cigar fanatics across the country. Spanish for scarce or rare, Escasos provides Pete Johnson an outlet to showcase the skilled craftsmanship of the García family's boutique-style factory in Miami: El Rey de los Habanos. Featuring select Cuban-seed tobaccos throughout the blend, the cigars make use of an all-Nicaraguan binder/filler, being finalized with a precise shade of Ecuadorian Habano rosado claro wrapper. This combination makes for a nuanced profile worthy of the seasoned palate. Expect a medium body, hitting notes of cedar, buttered toast, salted peanuts, light cabinet spice, and rich cream lingering through the finish. Bearing the beloved Tatuaje Brown Label band of the original Selección de Cazador line, the Tatuaje Escasos is something of an homage to the line that helped kick off Tatuaje's success in the cigar industry. This includes the same six sizes, with each of the sizes' titles combining to spell out HUNTER, the name of one of Pete's dogs. True to the cigar's name, the Escasos is indeed a rare treat, being limited to small batches of roughly 50 boxes per size as the tobaccos needed become available.
