Altadis USA to Release Exclusive H. Upmann Limited Edition for TAA Members
A representative from Altadis USA told halfwheel that the company will be releasing an exclusive TAA H. Upmann Limited Edition release at the upcoming Tobacconists’ Association of America (TAA) meeting and trade show at the end of March.
Specifics of the release are being withheld until the meeting, which will happen March 23 – 27 in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The annual gathering of the select group of retailers has increasingly been a venue for manufacturers to release limited edition cigars available only to TAA members, or to give them an advance buying opportunity on upcoming releases.
Crowned Heads has already announced that it will be releasing a TAA exclusive called Angel’s Anvil, and several other manufacturers are expected to announce TAA exclusives in the days leading up to the meeting.
This will be the second time that Altadis USA has released a cigar for the TAA, as in 2011 they released the Romeo y Julieta Exclusivo Para TAA by José Seijas, a 6 x 60 vitola that came in twin-pack coffins.
Numerous companies and brands have released cigars for the organization in recent years, including Tatuaje, Padrón, Ashton, AVO, My Father Cigars, Fonseca, La Aroma de Cuba and La Flor Dominicana.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
