The J21, a 5 x 50 Robusto in Tatuaje's Reserva Broadleaf line — a Connecticut Broadleaf maduro over Nicaraguan tobacco with dark chocolate, espresso and earth.
Flavor profile
Sweet · Roast · Earthy · Spice
The Reserva Broadleaf collection takes ten of Tatuaje's classic Seleccion de Cazador vitolas and re-dresses them in a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper. The J21 is the 5 x 50 Robusto version (it shares the Regios shape) — a sweet, rich take on the brand's bestselling size.
What it tastes like
Swapping the original Habano leaf for Connecticut Broadleaf transforms the profile. This is a darker, sweeter maduro: dark chocolate and espresso lead, layered with earth, cedar, and a measured black-pepper spice that keeps it from going flat. It lands at a comfortable medium-full, with the depth maduro lovers chase but enough balance to stay smooth. Built at the My Father factory in Estelí, construction is excellent — a slow, even burn and a clean draw.
Who it's for
The richer body suits experienced smokers who like a sweeter, darker smoke without going full-strength. It's a classic after-dinner cigar — pair it with espresso, an aged rum, or bourbon. Since the Broadleaf wrapper is the star, our Maduro vs Connecticut guide explains what makes that dark leaf tick, and as a Nicaraguan-cored cigar it fits our Cuban vs Nicaraguan comparison.
