L'Atelier translated from the French language to "the workshop", and is the flagship brand of L'Atelier Cigar Imports, a Miami-based cigar company founded by Pete Johnson (Tatuaje), his brother, and a couple of friends. The cigars are rolled at My Father cigars in Nicaragua using a blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos cloaked in a special Ecuadorian wrapper known as Sancti Spiritus, a Criollo/Pelo d'Oro hybrid grown by the Oliva Tobacco Company. The cigars offer a medium to medium-full experience, with full, complex flavors.
