Tatuaje Tattoo Bonito Torpedo (10)

Tatuaje Tattoo Bonito Torpedo is the elegant, tapered expression of Pete Johnson’s celebrated everyday line — a Torpedo whose pointed head focuses every flavor with precision while preserving the line’s signature balance and accessibility.

Handcrafted in Nicaragua at the Garcia family’s TACUBA factory in Estelí, this cigar wears a silky, oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and aged Nicaraguan long-fillers — a Cuban-style blend rolled in the traditional Pepin Garcia method, finished with a tapered Torpedo head that channels and concentrates the smoke beautifully.

The smoking experience opens with cocoa, cedar, and a measured kick of black pepper, then evolves into a layered midsection of leather, mocha, almond, espresso, and earth — finishing with hints of molasses sweetness, ginger spice, and a creamy tobacco warmth. The Torpedo format intensifies the flavors compared to the standard parejo, rewarding slow, deliberate puffing.

This Torpedo vitola measures 6 1/8″ (156mm) with a 52 ring gauge, hand-rolled for approximately 60–75 minutes of smooth, medium-bodied smoking.

Our suggestion for cigars of similar strength:

• Montecristo Petit Edmundo
• Davidoff Winston Churchill Belicoso

Ideal with cortado coffee, a smooth bourbon, light añejo rum, or a Belgian dubbel — pairings that draw out the cigar’s chocolate-and-cedar core and complement its concentrated, tapered character without overwhelming the balanced profile.
