Lighter on your wallet but still heavy in Cuban-esque flavor.

Pete Johnson has been one of the most prolific cigar blenders in the industry for the last few years. Creating blend after blend at the famed My Father factory in Nicaragua, Pete Johnson's company has garnered numerous 90+ ratings, and keeps churning out cigars that enthusiasts flock to as go-to cigars every day. So, naturally, the next step would be to create a new brand, right? Yes, it's a little unorthodox to start at the beginning once you have a well-established brand on the market. But since when has Pete Johnson taken the conventional route?

L'Atelier Trocadero cigars hail from Nicaragua and sport premium Ecuador Habano Rosado wrappers, concealing a Nicaraguan Broadleaf binder and Nicaragua long-fillers. Only available in mazos to ensure you're leaving with some money in your wallet, these tasty treats expel a mellow to medium body, encompassing Cuban-esque earthy flavors with hints of pepper throughout. What tops the cake is the fact that the smallest ring gauge is a 52, guaranteeing you're getting a lot of cigar for the money.
