Tatuaje The Jason Redux 6 Coming in Early October
The Legend Returns: Tatuaje The Jason Redux 6
If you were buying cigars in 2013, you remember the JV13. It was the sixth Monster from Tatuaje, it came in a coffin, and people hunted for it. Thirteen years later it's back. The Jason Redux 6 brings that cigar to a new run, arriving in early October, right as Halloween season gets going. For longtime collectors this is a second chance. For everyone who came to Tatuaje later, it's a first one.

What the Monster Series Is, and Why People Chase It
For anyone newer to Tatuaje, some background. Pete Johnson's Monster Series is an annual limited release, each one themed around a classic horror figure, each one with its own name, artwork, and coffin-style box. The first arrived years ago and the line quickly became one of the most collected things in American cigars.
The reason is not just the packaging. Each Monster is a genuinely different blend, released once, in small numbers, and then gone. That combination created a culture around them: people tracked release dates, called shops, traded with friends, and kept boxes unopened. The hunt became part of the fun. That's the world the JV13 came out of in 2013, and it's why its return means something beyond nostalgia.
Why the JV13 Mattered
The JV13 was the sixth Monster, and it landed when the series was hitting its stride. It took the Jason idea and gave it a long 7½ × 52 frame, which was a statement at a time when shorter, thicker cigars were everywhere.
Collectors who bought it in 2013 mostly either smoked it or stashed it, and both groups ended up with a story. Thirteen years on, finding an original in good shape is a project. You are relying on someone else's storage and someone else's asking price. The Jason Redux 6 removes that problem. You can simply buy one, fresh, at retail.

What's Actually in the Coffin
The artwork gets the attention, so let's talk about the cigar. It's a 7½ × 52 wearing a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, with Nicaraguan binder and filler underneath, rolled at My Father Cigars S.A. in Estelí.
That pairing is worth noting. Connecticut Broadleaf is a dark, thick, oily American leaf, the kind that gives a cigar real presence. Put it over Nicaraguan tobacco and you have two components that both bring weight rather than one carrying the other. At 7½ inches you also get a long smoke, which gives the blend room to move. If dark wrappers are your thing, our guide to maduro cigars covers what Broadleaf brings to a blend.
5,000 Boxes, and the Timing
Production is capped at 5,000 boxes of 13, which works out to 65,000 cigars. That's a real limit, and it's the kind of number that decides whether you get one in October or read about it in November.
The calendar helps the story too. Shipping starts in early October, which puts a hockey-mask cigar on shelves right as Halloween arrives. Tatuaje has always timed the Monsters this way, and it's part of why the series became a seasonal tradition rather than just a product launch. Shops plan for it. Customers ask about it weeks ahead. Some people buy two, smoke one in October and put the other away. That rhythm is a big reason the Monster Series built the following it has, and the Jason Redux 6 steps right back into it.

The Bottom Line
The Jason Redux 6 works on two levels at once. It's a piece of Monster Series history, back after thirteen years, in the coffin box that made the line famous. And it's a long Connecticut Broadleaf cigar from My Father's factory that stands on its own without the story attached. That's the balance Tatuaje has always gotten right: the packaging pulls you in, the tobacco earns the repeat. With 5,000 boxes and Halloween on the calendar, this one won't be around long. Browse it with the rest of our limited-edition cigars at Mardo.
