Pete Johnson of Tatuaje has told halfwheel that his company will no longer produce single store exclusive releases.

“Due to factory constraints and production limits we are no longer able to produce smaller projects,” said Johnson in a text to halfwheel.

When asked if this would apply to even some of the larger single store releases the company has previously produced, Johnson indicated that Tatuaje would no longer make limited edition releases that will be sold only at a single store.

While releases like the Federal 109 and Pork Tenderloin are amongst the most high-regarded cigars Tatuaje has put out in its 13-year history, the challenges of making unique cigars in small runs for specific stores has had its problems at various times.

Now, it seems Johnson will no longer have to worry about that.

Tatuaje will not cease production of limited edition cigars, even those that might only be offered at certain retailers. Within the last week Johnson has solicited feedback regarding the next size of the Tatuaje TAA exclusive.

The majority of Tatuaje cigars are produced at My Father Cigars S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua. A small amount are made by My Father in Doral, Fla.

With a few exceptions the majority of the "special releases" appear to be just the same blend in a different vitola. Makes for a very limited cigar and in some cases changes the flavors but not necessarily better than the originals.

Hopefully we will soon see a decent new regular release from Tatuaje.
The announcement probably has the SnS brothers panties in a twist.

Damn. I almost pulled the trigger on a few single store releases this year but did not. Regretting that now....

Anyone have a list of single-store versions? I've had only a few and only one box that I recall (Apocalypse.)
Haven't been able to find a list.

oh...

and FFs (in various forms) all come to mind as additions come to mind as well

Feel free to send my way if you are feeling generous.

Sure there are many more...

Of course I forgot to mention the T110 & ELOs.... what was I thinking? Most likely it has been so long since I had them almost forgot what they taste like...

Outside of the Verocu 9.........Give me a Tat 7th.Never bought into the small batch thing much at Tatuaje.

Add the Tat Blacks only from Pete's shows.
Probably other Tat blacks. I have a box of Tat Black AFC made for my local in churchill vitola.

And raising prices!

Tat Black line will continue, as well as the Cohete.

Those AFC Tat Blacks make excellent golfing smokes!
