In 2003, Tatuaje released it’s first cigar under the Cojonu (pronounced Co-ho-nu) banner, which is short for Cojonudo, Cuban slang for ballsy, obviously referring to the strength of the blend. The Cojonu releases are usually double banded (more on that below) with a regular brown label Tatuaje band on top and a secondary band that is black on gold with Cojonu and the year of release, i.e. 2003, 2006, etc.
At the start, it was announced that there would be a new Cojonu release every three years, and that was the case until 2006, when the official 2006 version was released, as well as the Gran Cojonu, which did not fit in any of the same parameters as the other releases in the series. For example, it was quite a bit larger at 60 ring gauge, it came bandless, and it came in boxes of 12 instead of boxes of 25. There was also a Gran Cojonu Reserva, which is the exact same as the Gran Cojonu, with a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper released in 2011, but it was made in very limited quantities—about 120 boxes of 12 so far—and is only sold by a store in Germany.
It has also been announced that the 2012 release of the Cojonu line will feature not one, not two, but three different wrappers, all 6 1/2 x 52 box-pressed: a Connecticut broadleaf version, a sumatra (Capa Especial) version, and a habano version that is essentially the same as the round 2003 cigar, but box-pressed instead of round. These three cigars have been passed around at various times (in a three-pack sampler), most notably at a Holt’s event in October of 2011, which is where the ones I smoked for this review came from. They will also be released first in March/April in a book like box of 24—12 each of the Connecticut broadleaf and sumatra wrappers—with 25-count boxes of all three wrappers to be released at the IPCPR show in August.
Here is a line-up of every Cojonu officially released along with the aforementioned prereleases.
◾Gran Cojonu Reserva — 6 1/2 x 60 — Connecticut Broadleaf (German Exclusive)
