Description
The Tatuaje Havana VI Verocu No. 6 is a 6 1/8 x 52 torpedo wrapped in Ecuadorian Habano leaf, with Nicaraguan binder and filler inside. It comes from Verocu, the punchier branch of Tatuaje’s Havana VI red label, and is rolled at My Father Cigars in Nicaragua.
What It Tastes Like
JR Cigar’s listing for the No. 6 points to coffee, cream, nuts and a lively spice, and Holt’s describes the wider Verocu blend with cayenne, cocoa, coffee bean and wood. Both list it as medium, though Cigar Coop calls Verocu a stronger version of the regular Havana VI.
Who It’s For
- Torpedo smokers who want the Verocu blend with a pointed head to clip.
- Red-label smokers who already enjoy the Havana VI Artistas, also 6 1/8 x 52.
- Ecuadorian Habano fans curious how that leaf sits on a Nicaraguan core.

About the Verocu Line
Pete Johnson split the first Verocu release in 2007 between a western and an eastern regional cigar, and has likened the blend to a souped-up red label. Cigar Coop reports that the 6 1/8 x 52 shape was sold in red tubes in 2009 and rejoined the line in 20-count boxes at the 2016 IPCPR trade show.

How strong is the Tatuaje Havana VI Verocu No. 6?
JR Cigar and Holt’s list it as medium, though Cigar Coop describes Verocu as stronger than the standard Havana VI.
Is the Verocu No. 6 a torpedo?
Yes. Tatuaje lists it as a 6 1/8 x 52 torpedo, the one tapered-head Verocu size.
How does the No. 6 compare with the Verocu No. 1?
Same blend, nearly the same size. The No. 1 is a straight 6 1/4 x 52 toro grande; the No. 6 is 1/8 inch shorter and tapers to a point.
Did the Verocu No. 6 ever come in a tube?
