The Nat Sherman Timeless 2019 TAA Limited Edition is now available.

Nat Sherman announced that it has shipped its 2019 exclusive for retail members of the Tobacconists’ Association of America (TAA). The cigar is a Dominican puro, priced at $14.50 per cigar and limited to 1,500 boxes of 10 cigars. It is being made by Quesada Cigars in the Dominican Republic.

While this is not a regular production, national release, the 2019 TAA Limited Edition marks the first time in a few years Nat Sherman has released a new cigar to more than a single retailer.

The TAA is a fairly small group of some of the country’s top tobacconists, about 80 retailers as well as 40 or so manufacturers. The association gathers annually to discuss issues facing the industry and retailers, as well as to have its annual trade show, a unique event that works on a group buying format in order to secure exclusive deals for these generally high-volume merchants.

This year 11 companies, in addition to Joya, released new exclusives for TAA stores: A.J. FernándezCLE, Crowned HeadsE.P. Carrillo, General Cigar Co.J.C. Newman, La Flor DominicanaLa Palina, My FatherNat Sherman and Tatuaje.
