News: Pete Johnson Talks IPCPR 2010 & 2011
Posted by Barry on July 2nd, 2010
At Cigar Expo last weekend Pete Johnson was kind enough to talk with me and Tom from cigarreader.com about a little bit of everything. In Part 1 of our 2 part Interview we discussed the Futures, Monsters & Music. In this 2nd interview Pete gave us a little bit of a scoop about his new cigars that are coming out in 2011.
I’ve called various people in the industry friends and I know some of you think hey you help sell their cigars.. But when all the cigars were handed out at Cigar Expo Pete came to hang with us. We talked a solid 30 minutes before we asked him for an interview and easily another 20 minutes when the camera’s were off. It wasn’t all about cigars either…
News: Pete Johnson Talks Futures, Monsters & Music
Posted by Barry on June 29th, 2010
I am a huge fan of Pete Johnson and I do not attempt to hide that. Not only are his cigars my go to smokes but he has been nothing short of great to me. I got the chance to talk to him with Tom from CigarReader.com the other day at Cigar Expo and Pete was very forthcoming with tons of information. In part one of a 2 part interview Pete talks about The Verite Futures, The Monster Series and Music. The interview quickly went downhill though which caused Pete to label it as the most fucked up interview he has ever done…
Cigar Review: NHC Seleccion Limitada Reserva
Posted by Barry on May 21st, 2010
On Monday we reviewed the NHC Seleccion Limitada which features a Habano wrapper. Today we take the time to review the same cigar but with a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and this review will prove what a difference a wrapper can make in a cigar. The same binder and filler are present, but the outcome is different.
The NHC Seleccion Limitada Reserva like the Habano wrapper are limited to about 500 boxes and can only be bought from one place on the internet and that is New Havana Cigars. For information on the price as well as a link please see the end of this review.
Cigar Review: NHC Seleccion Limitada
Posted by Barry on May 17th, 2010
As you all know I am a self described Pete Johnson whore. If Pete releases a stick I do my best to get my hands on it. That is pretty much the deal here. According to the New Havana Cigars website, the project came about as there were many boxes lingering at the My Father [...]
Cigar Review: Tatuaje L’esprit de La Verite
Posted by Barry on March 22nd, 2010
Recently I got to hang out with Pete Johnson at a couple of locations in New York and Philadelphia. While at Holt’s I was able to obtain a robusto of the Tatuahe L’espirit de La Vertie 2008. The cigar was part of a bonus in the purchase of a box of the new El Triunfador. Despite Tatuaje prices being a bit on the high end when it comes to prices, this cigar will raise the bar. It is expected to retail between $15.00 and $25.00 depending on the size.
The L’esprit de La Verite which translates to “The Spirit of the Truth” will be released yearly with a different blend of tobaccos from one farm and one crop.

The other night I was at Cigar Inn in NYC when I saw Pete Johnson of Tatuaje tweet that he was in New Jersey. After trying to find out if he was at a store or an event I pretty much gave up. I headed home and was ready to call it a night. That is until he called me out in a tweet..
