At the 2023 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show, Tatuaje Cigars will launch the L’Atelier Roxy. It’s a 3 1/2 x 50 Short Robusto that will be launched in both the classic L’Atelier (Natural) line and the L’Atlier Maduro line.

According to Tatuaje Cigars, the new production vitolas are tribute to K.C. Johnson’s beloved dog Roxy. Because Roxy was known to have very different personalities, the decision was made to release both versions in the same box. Therefore each 20 count box will feature 10 L’Atelier Roxy and 10 L’Atelier Maduro Roxy Cigars.

The L’Atelier features a Sancti Spiritus wrapper over all Nicaraguan tobaccos. The L’Atelier Maduro features a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper over a Nicaraguan Sancti Spiritus wrapper and all-Nicaraguan fillers. The L’Atelier Maduro production has been on hiatus for a few years, so this is the first new production of the L’Atelier Maduro in some time.

Pricing is set at $8.00 per cigar for both blends.

The PCA Trade Show opens July 7, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The latest Diesel cigar aims to offer cigar hobbyists an affordable yet well-aged smoking experience, with Justin Andrews and A.J. Fernández coming together to create the Diesel Vintage Series.

Rolled out of Fernández’s Estelí-based factory, the Diesel Vintage Series begins with a Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper; this leaf surrounds a Nicaraguan (Estelí) binder and all-Nicaraguan fillers from the Jalapa growing region, which have been aged from five to eight years each.

Justin Andrews said, “With Vintage Series, we’ve responded to feedback from our valued retailers across the country who told us they wanted to give their customers the true experience of vintage tobacco in a well-crafted, premium smoke. The catch was that it had to be at just the right price point. I’m proud to say that AJ Fernandez and I have delivered a cigar that fires on all cylinders: quality, construction, complexity and price.”

The cigars began shipping on July 1st, being packaged in boxes of 20 cigars (with the exception of the Rabito size) and priced between $7.99 and $9.29 per cigar MSRP.
