The Tatuaje Shaggy Pumpkin is a cigar that was reblended for the Cigar Rights of America Freedom Sampler in 2021. Its not the companys first pumpkin cigar (the Great Pumpkin has already undergone two evolutions at the time of this writing). Tatuaje founder Pete Johnson explained that the revisions keep the line interesting and also turned the Shaggy Pumpkin into an exclusive for the sampler.

Whats the sampler all about? Well, not only is it packed with top-shelf cigars (no, really, theres Fuentes, Padrns, My Fathers, Ashtons its PACKED), but it supports an important industry organization. According to its website, the CRA is the first and only consumer-based, a public advocacy group fighting to protect the individuals right to enjoy premium, hand-rolled cigars. When you purchase the sampler, you get a years membership to the organization.

Here, you can buy a Tatuaje Shaggy Pumpkin all by itself. This 6 x 52 toro features an unwrapped or shaggy foot. Theres no cover leaf on a small section of filler leaf that pokes out at the foot of the cigar. When you light it up and draw, it lets you taste the filler blend first solo before its joined by the wrapper.

These cigars are produced at My Father Cigars in Estel, Nicaragua, so you know theyre the real deal. Pick them up when youre in a fall or Halloween mood. Theyre not pumpkin-flavored, but they definitely put us in the right frame of mind for the autumn season.
