Cigar Plastic Surgery: El Triunfador by Pete Johnson Returns
El Triunfador is back…but it’s had a little work done.
This amazing cigar, from Tatuaje’s leading man, Pete Johnson has arrived. Featuring an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, as opposed to the Connecticut Broadleaf on the 2008 edition, this El Triunfador isn’t quite as friendly. Meaning….it’ll bite ya. But do not fret-this spice is not all power. Pete had the assistance of cigar legend Pepin Garcia. And when Garcia added those flavorful, complex, and beautiful tobaccos of Nicaragua, the result is a medium to full bodied with miles of potential.
Literally meaning “the victor” or “the winner” in Spanish, El Triunfador fits nicely into Pete Johnson’s “no nonsense, take no prisoners” approach to cigars. Tatuaje especially has done fantastic things in this industry. (Hello? Anyone else’s mouths still watering from last year’s Drac?) But the El Triunfador, with its beautiful Cuban artwork and dazzling style, is a lesson in understated majesty.
