Description
The La Union Prominente Especial Black Box is a highly limited commemorative release celebrating the 20th anniversary of the partnership between My Father Cigars and Tatuaje. Each Black Box contains two distinct blends, both in the Prominente Especial (7 1/4 x 50, Cuban 109-style cap) format:
-
Wrapper: Nicaraguan Shade Grown Corojo ’99 (Nicaraguan puro)
-
Body: Medium
-
Tasting notes: Spice, coffee, earth, rich creaminess
-
Features: Closed foot
-
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano (Nicaraguan binder/filler)
-
Body: Medium (sometimes described as medium-full)
-
Tasting notes: Coffee, leather, spice, overall sweetness
-
Features: Open foot
Key details:
-
Each Black Box contains 40 cigars—20 of each blend—crafted at My Father Cigars S.A. in Nicaragua.
-
Production is limited to 1,500 numbered boxes (1,200 for the US, 300 internationally).
-
Each box includes a commemorative Xikar Xi1 La Union Perfect Cut cutter.
-
Binder and filler are Nicaraguan (Garcia family tobacco, including Pelo de Oro leaf).
The Black Box is distinct from the later-released Red Box, which features entirely different wrapper blends. Both are considered highly collectible for enthusiasts of either brand or of historic cigar collaborations.
For collectors and connoisseurs, the La Union Prominente Especial Black Box stands out due to its rarity, blend pedigree, and its role as a centerpiece commemorating the bond between Tatuaje and My Father—both among the most respected names in premium cigars.
