Tatuaje Monster Jason Redux 6 Release Details
Tatuaje Monster Jason Redux 6 is a limited release expected to begin shipping in early October 2026. Announced on September 29, it brings the original Jason format back as the sixth installment of the Monster Redux series. The announced details cover the blend and production run, but no public tasting notes or ratings establish how it smokes.
The Announcement
Tatuaje announced Monster Jason Redux 6 on September 29, 2026, with shipping expected to begin in early October. The cigar measures 7½ inches by 52 ring gauge and uses a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler. My Father Cigars makes it in Estelí, Nicaragua.
The announced price is $13 per cigar or $169 for a 13-count box. Production is limited to 5,000 boxes, and distribution is allocated to select retailers. Early October is a shipping window, so it does not establish a day when every selected shop will have boxes available for sale.
If you want one, ask a cigar retailer whether it expects a Jason Redux 6 allocation. That question is more useful than asking whether the retailer can place an unrestricted order: the announced distribution is selective, and a shop cannot promise stock based on the production total alone.

The box price matches the single-cigar price multiplied by 13: 13 × $13 is $169. Those figures describe the announced prices, not a promise that every retailer will sell singles or have boxes left when you ask. A retailer receiving boxes may also handle its limited stock differently from another retailer.
The blend specifications identify the tobaccos and their positions in the cigar. They do not establish a strength level, a tasting sequence, or a score. Anyone choosing Jason Redux 6 for a particular flavor should wait for smoking reports rather than treat wrapper or filler origin as a tasting note.
Production and Numbering
Tatuaje plans 5,000 boxes of Monster Jason Redux 6, holding 65,000 cigars in total. Each coffin-style cabinet box contains 13 cigars. Of the full run, 4,300 boxes use standard packaging and 700 are numbered.
The numbered portion has a further split: 666 boxes carry sequential numbers, while the other 34 carry an "XX" mark. The 34-box figure comes from subtracting 666 from 700. The "XX" boxes are typically reserved for special occasions; the announcement does not identify a separate retailer route or public purchase process for them.
Most boxes in the run are standard packages. A numbered box is therefore a narrower request than a box of Jason Redux 6 generally, and an "XX" box is narrower again. If the packaging matters to you, ask which version a retailer expects before committing to a purchase. Do not assume a retailer with an allocation can offer a particular number or an "XX" box.
The production figures also describe cigars packed into boxes, rather than an additional pool of loose singles. A retailer that sells an individual cigar would be selling it from the announced run. That distinction helps when comparing the 65,000-cigar total with the 5,000-box limit: the two figures count the same production in different units.
What Connecticut Broadleaf Can Tell You
Connecticut Broadleaf is the announced wrapper for Jason Redux 6, but the wrapper name alone cannot predict the finished cigar's taste. As general wrapper knowledge, Broadleaf is often associated with a thicker leaf and darker, richer impressions than some lighter-looking wrappers. Fermentation, the tobaccos beneath the wrapper, and how the cigar is made can change what a smoker perceives.
That background may help you decide whether to follow the release. It is not a tasting note for Jason Redux 6. No public smoking description in the announcement confirms sweetness, pepper, cocoa, or any other specific flavor in this blend. Nor does the Connecticut Broadleaf label establish whether the cigar smokes mild, medium, or full in strength.
The binder and filler are Nicaraguan tobaccos. Their country of origin identifies part of the blend, but it does not settle how the cigar will develop from lighting to the final third. If you buy for a familiar Broadleaf character, a single cigar is a less costly way to test that expectation than a $169 box, provided a selected retailer offers singles.
What the 7½ by 52 Size Means
Jason Redux 6 is a long cigar at 7½ inches, with a 52 ring gauge that describes its diameter. Its length gives you more cigar to smoke than a shorter cigar of similar thickness. It does not give a reliable smoking-time figure: pace, draw, and how much of the cigar you choose to finish all affect the session.
For a newer smoker, the useful question is whether you want to spend time with one cigar before you know its flavor or strength. The announcement provides no strength description, and the announced size makes a box purchase a substantial commitment to an unreviewed blend. If shorter smokes suit your available time, wait for reports or buy a single only if one is available.
The size also matters when you compare prices. Thirteen cigars at $169 works out to the same $13 each as the announced single price. A box does not offer a stated per-cigar discount. Its appeal would have to come from wanting the full set or the packaging, rather than from savings shown in the announcement.
The Monster Series Context
Jason Redux 6 is the sixth installment of Tatuaje's Monster Redux series, which revisits earlier Monster Series releases in their original formats. The original Jason belongs to the long-running Monster Series. Its character is based on Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th film franchise.
"Redux" tells a buyer why Jason appears again and why the announced format matters. It does not, by itself, verify that every tobacco or smoking characteristic matches an earlier cigar. The confirmed blend for this release is Connecticut Broadleaf over Nicaraguan binder and filler, in the announced 7½-by-52 size.
Collectors interested in the Monster Series may care about the 13-count coffin-style box and the numbered portion of the run. A smoker who only wants to know whether the cigar tastes good has less to work with before shipping. The series connection explains the release; it cannot stand in for a review of an unsmoked cigar.
How Retailer Allocation Affects Buying
Jason Redux 6 is allocated to select retailers rather than offered as an open order to every shop. The announced 5,000-box run is the total production figure, not an inventory count for any one retailer. A selected shop may receive a limited quantity, while a shop outside the allocation may receive none.
Ask whether a retailer expects to receive the cigar, whether it plans to sell singles, and whether it can identify the packaging version it will offer. Those questions keep the purchase decision tied to stock the retailer expects to have. A shipping window beginning in early October 2026 does not establish when an individual shop can hand you a cigar.
If you want to compare the release with other limited brands while you wait, the boutique cigars guide offers a broader starting point. Jason Redux 6 availability remains a separate question for a retailer with an allocation.
Who Should Watch for Tatuaje Monster Jason Redux 6
Monster Series followers who want the original Jason format revisited have a clear reason to watch this release. The announced blend, size, box style, price, and production count are enough to decide whether to ask a selected retailer about availability. Buyers who specifically collect numbered packaging should ask about that distinction before buying, since only 700 of the 5,000 boxes are numbered.
Jason Redux 6 is a weaker advance purchase for someone who chooses cigars by verified tasting notes or strength. Neither has been published in the announcement. If you are buying your first long cigar, or have only a short window to smoke, choose a smaller cigar with a known profile instead of committing to a 13-count box.
Public smoking reviews could change the flavor-based advice once the cigar ships. Retailer availability could also change the buying advice: an offered single would let you try the blend for the announced $13 price without committing $169 to a box. Until those details are available, the strongest reason to seek an allocation is interest in the Jason release and its format, rather than a predicted smoking experience.
Before the Expected Shipping Window
Early October 2026 is the expected start of shipping for Jason Redux 6, following the September 29 announcement. It is not a confirmed date for retail shelves, and the announcement gives no schedule for individual allocations. Treat a retailer's expected receipt as a separate question from Tatuaje's shipping window.
Decide in advance whether you would buy a single, a standard box, or a numbered box. That choice changes the question you need a retailer to answer. If you only want to try the cigar, there is no reason to assume you must buy 13; ask whether singles will be offered before setting aside the box price.
Ask a cigar retailer whether it expects a Tatuaje Monster Jason Redux 6 allocation and which packaging it plans to sell.
