Tatuaje Cigars Creature From Tatuaje

Tatuaje Lomo de Cerdo

Blind Man's Puff · Jul 31, 2023 · April 2023

Last year, Tatuaje Cigars released their Tuxtla Series, where the company used an existing cigar, and replaced the wrapper with Mexican San Andrés. The Tuxtla Series launched with three versions cigars: the Avion ’13, Tatuaje 7th and the Tatuaje T110. At the 2022 PCA Trade Show, Tatuaje teased a new addition to that series, the Lomo de Cerdo, which translates to pork loin from Spanish. The name comes from the fact that the blend is based on the infamous Pork Tenderloin which came out in 2010. This cigar was reviewed blind (no bands) by a panel of at least 4 reviewers. They did not know what they were smoking beforehand. The scores are an average of all the reviewers' scores with outliers removed. All of our cigars reviewed are shipped to the panelists with Boveda packs to ensure optimal smoking experience. The cigar measures 5 1/8 x 52 and as with the previous Tuxtla releases, the Lomo de Cerdo replaces the original wrapper that was used for the Pork Tenderloin (Connecticut broadleaf) with a Mexican San Andrés wrapper. The rest of the blend uses the same as the Pork Tenderloin, including Nicaraguan tobacco for the binders and fillers. The Lomo de Cerdo has an MSRP of $12.00 per cigar or $300 for a bundle of 25. The cigar were rolled at My Father Cigars S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua. Production is around 8,000 bundles. Like the Pork Tenerloin, Lomo de Cerdo uses packaging designed to look like butcher paper such as a butcher would use to wrap meat at the counter at the butcher shop.

Lomo de Cerdo from Tatuaje

Simply Stogies · Nov 30, 2023

I once again find myself reviewing a cigar that has its beginnings pre-2018. (For those not in the know, 2018 was the year I started smoking cigars.) This time, it’s the Tatuaje Lomo de Cerdo, or “pork loin” in Spanish. The original Tatuaje Pork Tenderloin was released in 2010. Of the original release, I have...

Tatuaje Cigars is no stranger to thinking outside the box in the industry. The immensely popular Monster Series was created in 2008, and some popular shop exclusives like the CQ1, CQ2, and Little Boris are extremely well known.

When it was first released in 2010, the original Pork Tenderloin was one of the best non-Cuban cigars I had ever tasted up to that point, so I was extremely interested to see how a new wrapper would change the blend. What I found with the new incarnation is a profile that is noticeably less nuanced when it comes to flavors than the original version, with main notes shifting from sweet cedar and sourdough bread in the first third to cocoa nibs and generic nuttiness in the final two-thirds. Having said that, the Limited Robusto Especial is easily the more mellow of the two blends, with less spice and black pepper than the Pork Tenderloin, even during the final third when both notes become a bit more aggressive. In the end, while the Limited Robusto Especial is not nearly as good as the Pork Tenderloin it is based on, it is easily enjoyable enough to recommend picking some up to try for yourself, especially if you are a fan of Mexican San Andrés-wrapped blends.

Tatuaje Lomo de Cerdo Tuxtla

Developing Palates · Jul 5, 2023 · April 2023

The Tatuaje Lomo de Cerdo Tuxtla might be the best of the Tuxtla releases so far. Appearance wise it is not as good as the others, but that means nothing in the giant scheme of things. Great flavors in a very approchable size. A size that every smoker can smoke. Nice strength and richness, but balanced as well. I am going to age some Tuxtlas, but I am beginning to think they are better young. Enjoy these smokes!
