Tatuaje Expands Brown Label with Two New 7th Corona Gorda Wrappers

Tatuaje is adding fresh dimensions to its Brown Label 7th Corona Gorda with two new wrapper options: Tuxtla and Corojo, set to hit stores in late May or early June 2025.

Pete Johnson, founder of Tatuaje Cigars, continues his long-standing tradition of blending experimentation with the launch of two new variations of the 7th Corona Gorda from the Selección de Cazador line—more commonly known as Tatuaje Brown Label. Unveiled earlier this month at the PCA trade show, these new cigars showcase how changing just the wrapper leaf can bring new flavour profiles to a familiar blend.

The Selección de Cazador is a foundational line in Tatuaje’s portfolio, dating back to 2003. While the original six vitolas were rolled in Miami, the 7th Corona Gorda was the first to be produced in Nicaragua at the My Father Cigars S.A. factory—home to all current production.

Traditionally, the Brown Label features an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler. The new Tuxtla version uses a dark, earthy Mexican San Andrés wrapper, while the Corojo version swaps the original wrapper for a Nicaraguan-grown Corojo leaf cultivated by the Garcia family, Johnson’s long-time collaborators.

Both cigars measure 5 5/8 inches in length with a 46 ring gauge and are priced at $9.50 per stick. They will be presented in boxes of 21.

These new releases follow in the footsteps of previous 7th Corona Gorda variants: the Capa Especial, featuring an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, and the Reserva, wrapped in rich Connecticut Broadleaf. With these additions, the 7th Corona Gorda now comes in five different wrapper styles—each offering its own take on a classic Nicaraguan core blend. For fans of the brand, it’s an opportunity to revisit a familiar format with fresh perspective.
