An Interview with Pete Johnson
Friday, August 8th, 2008
On 5/28/08 my daughter and I ventured up to Hollywood, CA to interview Pete Johnson, creator of the Tatuaje line of cigars. Located on the famous Sunset Strip, we joined Pete at his shop for an intriguing and entertaining 3 ½ hour interview!
Pete is definitely a class act! Very humble, very modest. During our time together, we smoked a Tatuaje Black Robusto, and the new Tatuaje La Riqueza Lonsdale (I was only the second person to smoke a banded one!!). He even walked out several times to keep our parking meter happy!
Here is our interview (note: we discussed his rock band days in length – to the extent that my daughter, also a bass player, wrote her own interview entitled, “Pete Johnson: The Rock Band before the Cigar Band”).
