Privada Storytelling
The word Cohetes means “rockets” in Spanish, and that’s exactly what Pete Johnson envisioned when he launched this short-format powerhouse. Originally released in 2006 in very limited runs, the Cohetes became something of a unicorn—talked about by collectors, rarely seen in circulation. Its purpose was simple: a compact vitola that exploded with flavor and strength, perfect for those who wanted the Tatuaje experience in under an hour.
Revived in the Corojo wrapper, the Cohetes keeps its firecracker DNA but adds the elegance and spice of Ecuadorian Corojo leaf. Rolled at My Father Cigars in Estelí, this petit robusto carries the same boldness of its larger siblings but in a size that feels urgent, celebratory, and unforgettable. Like the rockets it’s named after, it makes an impression that lasts long after the smoke fades.
Flavor Journey
From the very first puff, spice erupts with red pepper and cedar, commanding attention. Quickly, roasted peanuts and leather steady the profile, while cocoa and toasted bread add richness. Midway, flashes of sweetness—hints of citrus and molasses—appear, balancing the bold Corojo spice. The final act is sharp but creamy, with earth and pepper lingering as the smoke comes to its fast, fiery close.
Why It Belongs in Privada
The Tatuaje Cohetes Corojo embodies what Privada members love most: history, rarity, and intensity in a boutique format. It’s the kind of cigar that collectors talk about in hushed tones and light up when they want to savor a moment without committing to a larger vitola. Reviving the Cohetes line in Corojo ensures its legacy continues—and gives Privada members access to a piece of Tatuaje’s living history.
