The Tatuaje 7th Corojo is the fifth variant of the 7th vitola, joining the OG 7th (Habano), Reserva Broadleaf, the Capa Especial, and the Tuxtla. It belongs to the Selección de Cazador line, also known as the Brown Label, where the 7th was the seventh vitola introduced.
The blend is an all-Nicaraguan puro. A García-grown Corojo ’99 wrapper covers a double Nicaraguan binder and the same filler used across the Selección de Cazador line. A maroon and gold secondary band reading “Corojo” sets it apart from its siblings.
The Corojo wrapper is of a pale Colorado color, with a few small veins present. The construction is good, with uniform filling.

Tatuaje 7th Corojo: the cold draw reveals clean tobacco and wood. Once lit, the opening delivers light wood, hay, and white pepper.
Nuts and wood come through in the first third, with light pepper in the background and a subtle balsamic sweetness. The strength is medium (3/5).
Nuances of caramel are added to the profile in the second third, and the smoke is creamy. The strength remains unchanged (3/5).
In the final third, the pepper transforms into chili spice. The strength grows to medium-full (4/5).
Overall, the Tatuaje 7th Corojo is a complex and nuanced smoke that starts very smooth and picks up gradually through each third. The spicy finale makes for an enjoyable close.
