Pete Johnson has become a cigar industry mainstay, a man with multiple lines of cigars that consistently score well in this magazine and make our Top 25. Most of them are rolled in Nicaragua, but this Tatuaje Reserva K222 is made in Florida, where the Tatuaje story began back in 2003. While the Tatuaje brand is closing in on 20 years of age, the K222 size is a newer release that first hit the market in 2016. It was created as a tribute to Johnson’s dog, whose name was Kona. It has that trademark gorgeous construction, a medium-to-full body, and rich, hearty notes of molasses, coffee bean and red pepper, with a cappuccino finish.
