Tatuaje’s Cojonú line is a stronger version of the Selección de Cazador (aka Brown Label) blend. The last regular production addition to the line dates back to 2012. This generously sized cigar is both full in body and flavor, and while being a strong smoke, it still manages to be well balanced.

Dark chocolate and earth give way to the smoke, followed by black pepper and seasoned wood. Balsamic herbs and vegetal notes are added along the way, and chili joins towards the end.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?

Those who scored the highest among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews get re-selected. These products were then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are created.

Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best Buy, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine Winter 2021 issue.
