Description
The La Union Red LE (Limited Edition) Box is a prestigious, highly limited cigar release created to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the partnership between My Father Cigars and Tatuaje. This special edition, known as the La Union Prominente Especial Red box, contains 40 cigars—20 blended by My Father for Tatuaje and 20 blended by Tatuaje for My Father, all produced at My Father Cigars S.A. in Nicaragua.
Box Composition and Blend Details
-
Each Red box contains 40 cigars (20 per blend), all sized 7.25 x 50, called Prominente Especial, and featuring a distinctive Cuban 109-style cap.
-
The two blends in the Red box differ by wrapper:
-
Tatuaje’s blend uses an Ecuador Sumatra wrapper.
-
My Father’s blend uses a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper.
-
-
Both blends use all-Nicaraguan binder and fillers, exclusively from García family farms, including rare Pelo de Oro tobacco.
-
Cigars by Pete Johnson (Tatuaje) are identified by a covered foot, while My Father-made cigars have an open foot.
Release Specifics and Collectibility
-
Only 1,500 numbered Red boxes exist, with 1,200 for the U.S. and 300 for international markets; boxes are sequentially numbered 1501–3000.
-
Each box includes a commemorative Xikar cutter.
-
The Red box is considered an ultra-premium collector’s item due to its limited production, blend complexity, and collaborative significance.
Tasting and Experience Notes
-
Both blends are described as medium-full to full-bodied, combining classic My Father and Tatuaje characteristics. The Ecuador Sumatra wrapper (Tatuaje blend) offers a buttery and smooth profile, while the Connecticut Broadleaf (My Father blend) delivers a richer, crisper experience.
-
The use of rare Pelo de Oro in both blends adds depth, sweetness, and complexity to the smoking experience.
This release stands out for collectors and enthusiasts who value rare production cigars, deep collaborative heritage, and the blending hallmarks of both the My Father and Tatuaje houses.
