Tatuaje Escasos T
The Tatuaje Escasos T is a standout in Pete Johnson’s Escasos series, a rare collection of ultra-limited cigars that embody the finest elements of Cuban-style craftsmanship. Handcrafted at the El Rey de Los Habanos factory in Miami, Florida, the Escasos line is known for its meticulous production process, with each cigar rolled by a select group of highly skilled torcedores under the supervision of legendary cigar maker José “Pepin” Garcia. The name Escasos, meaning “scarce” in Spanish, reflects the exclusivity of these cigars, making them a coveted item for serious collectors and discerning aficionados.
The Tatuaje Escasos T, measuring 5 5/8 x 52, is wrapped in a stunning Cuban-seed Corojo wrapper, a departure from the Ecuadorian Habano wrappers commonly used in other Tatuaje blends. This choice results in a refined, medium-to-full-bodied profile that delivers an intricate and evolving smoking experience. The initial draws present rich earthy tones, black pepper spice, and toasted cedar, while deeper into the smoke, notes of cocoa, leather, and subtle caramel sweetness emerge, creating a beautifully layered complexity. The expert construction ensures an even burn, a smooth draw, and a consistently flavorful experience throughout.
Part of the HUNTER series—a tribute to the legendary journalist Hunter S. Thompson—the Escasos T is named as part of a collection that spells out “HUNTER,” honoring the icon’s rebellious spirit and love for cigars. Like Thompson’s bold and unfiltered writing style, this cigar brings depth, richness, and a touch of unpredictability, appealing to those who appreciate both fine craftsmanship and a sense of adventure.
Due to its extremely limited production, the Tatuaje Escasos T is a rare opportunity for aficionados to own a piece of one of Pete Johnson’s most exclusive projects. With its classic Cuban-style complexity, superior construction, and homage to one of literature’s most influential figures, this cigar is a must-have for collectors and connoisseurs alike. Don’t miss your chance to secure this extraordinary release before it vanishes into cigar history.
Box of 25 cigars

Worth it for a $300 box as it’s perfectly sealed, not a patchwork box that is opened and thrown together with a couple of cigars with cracked feet like the others.
