Tatuaje Event With Pete Johnson


Yesterday I was lucky enough to find out about today's Tatuaje event at The Humidour in Cockeysville, MD. Since becoming a Tatuaje fan, I can't get enough of their cigars. So I was pretty pumped for the event. On top of the excitement was the fact that the event would actually be hosted by Tatuaje's owner, Pete Johnson.

The Humidour put on a hell of an event. Good food, great specials and a friendly staff. I also met a couple guys from the cigar blog community and had some good conversation.


I picked up a box of Red Tubos and got a good grip of bonus products with the purchase. With a box purchase, Pete threw in a slick looking Tatuaje beanie, a Tatuaje swag bag and a 3-pack of Black Label Cigars that are only available for special events. I will have the reviews of both the Red Tubo and the special blend soon. I smoked on of the Black Labels and let me tell you, it tasted like cigar candy. Absolutely delicious. Very unique smoke.

Thanks to Pete and the staff at the Humidour.

Meeting Pete Johnson Tomorrow!


Every now and then I find myself getting bored with cigars, or I run a streak of smoking cigars that I'm not impressed with. Two weeks ago I fell in love with a sampler pack of Tatuaje Havana VIs I purchased. My local shops don't have the Tatuaje brand, so I've been longing for the flavors I found in the Havana VI. Instead of doing the smart thing and purchasing more Tatuajes off the internet, I decided to search for a shop that carries them.
During my quest for Tatuajes I smoked a variety of sticks, trying satisfy my need for a great cigar. I tried new cigars, I smoked old favorites - I even re-tried cigars that I said I'd never smoke again. I tell ya, I haven't liked the taste of a cigar since those Havana VIs left my life.

Today I found a shop about an hour away that carries Tatuaje! I made the trip and felt like a kid in a candy store. This shop had everything; a true collection of premium smokes. The name of shop is The Humidour. It is located in Cockeysville, MD - I recommend checking this place out.

Anyways, I made a special trip to pick up a couple Tatuajes. When I arrive at the shop and hit the walk in humidor there are signs all over the place advertising a Tatuaje event tomorrow! How happy was I? Extremely. To make it better, Pete Johnson is going to be at the event.

I will make a post tomorrow describing the event. I hope to get a chance to talk with Pete.
