Description
The Tatuaje Monster Series is Pete Johnson’s Halloween tradition - a recurring, limited-edition run of horror movie–themed cigars that collectors await like clockwork. First launched in 2008, the Monsters quickly became a cult phenomenon: small, numbered releases, dramatic box art, and blistering demand turned each new Monster into an event that sold out fast. The series is released irregularly but reliably, with Pete returning to the theme roughly every year or so to introduce new takes and redux editions. Like this one!
Tatuaje The Mummy Blend
The Mummy has long been one of the most talked-about entries in Tatuaje’s Monster series. The Redux 5 revival brings the Mummy back to life as a long, lean 7½ × 47 Nicaraguan puro wrapped in a dark Criollo leaf — a throwback to the original, with a blend that’s tuned for today’s Nicaraguan-loving palate. Expect medium-to-full body, with an earthy-peppery start that gives way to cocoa and subtle sweetness. Nearly-full body throughout.
Just as much as the flavor is the presentation, and the packaging for The Mummy Redux 5 is once again central to the appeal. There are 666 of these boxes (out of a total run of 5000) that have been sequentially numbered; that emphasizes the collector angle and the seasonal, spooky theme. That presentation, combined with a small production run, is a huge part of why Monster releases disappear so quickly.
The Mummy Reviews
We expect response to the Mummy Redux to go the same way as its predecessors: high praise for the presentation, and rave reviews for its medium-to-full profile, as it’s a faithful, flavorful redux of prior releases. And that means they’re going to move fast.
Bottom line, the Mummy Redux 5 is a must-smoke for Tatuaje collectors and fans of bold Nicaraguan puros alike. Nicaraguan tobaccos aged to perfection, with classic Monster Series styling - this one is destined to vanish fast. Reserve yours now before it returns to the tomb!
