Product Summary

My Father & Tatuaje La Unión Prominente Especial Black is one of the most touching family legends in cigar history. When José “Pepin” Garcia immigrated to the United States from Cuba and rolled his first Tatuaje in a small workshop in Miami in 2003, who could have predicted that this would begin a profound alliance spanning 20 years? Pete Johnson, a young Californian with a deep passion for Nicaraguan leaves, commissioned the Garcia family to produce his brand, and the two have since walked side by side like brothers. Pete even married Garcia's daughter, Janny, further merging the two families. In 2024, to commemorate this "La Unión" (alliance), they launched a limited edition of 500 boxes worldwide, the Black Gold Chalice, with 40 cigars per box (20 My Father blended and 20 Tatuaje blended). The black box is engraved with a gold-stamped badge of the two shaking hands, symbolizing the eternal commitment from commission to collaboration. This 7 1/4 × 50 Prominente Especial, with its double wrapper, perfectly blends power and elegance, making it a prized possession for cigar connoisseurs.

Main Specifications

  • Size: 7 1/4 × 50 (Prominente Especial)

  • Wrapper: Nicaragua Corojo 99 (My Father blend) / Ecuador Habano (Tatuaje blend)

  • Eggplant Sleeve: Nicaragua

  • Eggplant core: Nicaragua (Estelí & Jalapa, aged 7 years or more)

Flavor characteristics

The top notes open with a strong burst of rich dark chocolate, coffee beans, and black cherry, while the spicy licorice of Corojo 99 and the fresh cedar of Habano complement each other. The middle notes advance with layers of roasted nuts, black pepper, and aged leather, while caramel cocoa gradually blends together like a symphony of two families. The base notes finish perfectly with ebony, smoke, and slightly sweet vanilla, leaving a deep and lingering aftertaste, like the rich echo of 20 years of friendship.

Origin and wrapper information

Rolled exclusively by My Father Cigars' Estelí factory in Nicaragua, this Prominente Especial uses premium Estelí and Jalapa leaves aged over seven years, refined through a double fermentation process. Featuring a double wrapper design—the glossy Nicaragua Corojo 99 is robust and powerful, while the Ecuador Habano is delicate and elegant—and finished with a Cuban 109-style cap, this slender and gracefully elongated Prominente Especial precisely delivers both flavors, revealing the infinite depth of this collaboration.

Reasons for recommendation

In 2024, Halfwheel hailed it as "the most outstanding collaboration, with precise burning and complexity approaching the pinnacle of its history." Like a black symphony composed by Garcia and Johnson, this cigar opens with the bass notes of dark chocolate and coffee, gradually building in the artistry of aged leather and ebony, and finally culminating in a breathtakingly deep, smoky vanilla finish, its overall character profound yet remarkably balanced. But its value extends far beyond craftsmanship: imagine Pepin rolling the first Tatuaje for Pete's dream in a humble cigar-rolling station in Miami in 2003—that trust took root like a seed. For 20 years, they have weathered market changes, family legacy, and even blood ties—Pete and Janny's marriage made the alliance even more unbreakable. La Unión Black is the culmination of this story, a limited edition of only 500 boxes, each containing 40 cigars, like an intimate family dinner, inviting collectors worldwide to join in the celebration. Once sold out, it will never be replicated. It is not only the "20-year crown" of the La Unión series, but also an eternal testament to the two rare gems in the history of cigars. Its high degree of limited edition gives it unparalleled collectible value. Whether enjoyed alone or as a celebratory gift, it is the perfect embodiment of prestige and story.
