Origin: Nicaragua
This cigar is made by to very popular men: Pete Johnson of Tatuaje fame and Don Pepin of half of every new cigar that’s come out in the pst two years.
The La Riqueza is a departure for these two collaborator. This is not a typical Tatuaje or Don Pepin cigar.
The dark Broadleaf wrapper is silky to the touch and actually looks a lot less veiny and rough than many other Broadleaf wrapped cigars.
It has a slightly sweet taste with a woody earthy aroma and flavor with dashes of cocoa throughout. It draws very well with ample smoke and a salt and pepper ash. The burn is a little uneven.
This is a lot smoother and more refined than the other Tatuaje blends. Many have compared it to the Padron Anniversaries. If you are a big fan of Don Pepin and Tatuaje cigars, you may be disappointed if you expect antother cigar that tastes a lot like a Tatuaje. This is a different cigar. That’s why tatuaje is not on the label. You will enjoy this cigar if you don’t think of Tatuaje while you smoke it.

Your review is right on. This cigar is very unique compared to the other Don Pepin product. The richness is full flavored yet smooth and more medium in body with a great balance of flavor. It is great to see other DP smokers appreciate this new and different creation. I think that with some time, this cigar will age very very well. Keep smoking the Tabacalera Cubana products and support Don Pepin and his family’s tradition. We should all be greatful for this man’s amazing contribution to our lifestyle.
