Tobacconists' Association of America Exclusive Series Program

Miami Cigar & Co.’s TAA 2024 release was the same as its 2023 release. However, the 2024 release didn’t begin shipping until January 2025.

Also known as the Litto Gomez Diez Emerald. Also known as the La Flor Dominicana TAA 55th Anniversary. Also known as LFD’s planned TAA 2023 release.

It’s rare for a cigar from Crowned Heads to use “Crowned Heads” in the name, but it’s happening here. While the name might be different, the basic formula is not: a TAA exclusive from Crowned Heads made by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr.

While three of the five vitolas in the new line are regular production, the lancero and box-pressed toro are limited editions. The box-pressed toros were made exclusively for retail members of the Tobacconists’ Association of America (TAA).

The first 300 of 1,000 boxes are heading to the roughly 80 TAA member retailers across the country. A Brazilian maduro wrapper highlights the blend that the company calls a 4 out of 5 on the strength scale.

It’s a 7 x 54 torpedo extra. This is the first time that Oliva has made a TAA exclusive.

The newest release in the company’s bat-themed Muricelago line takes flight today. If the name sounds familiar, it was made famous in a movie nearly 30 years ago.

Only 7,500 cigars were produced for the release, which will be available at about 80 retailers across the country. The company calls the profile a medium-plus-bodied cigar, rich in complexity, with flavors of pepper, spices, earthiness, and cocoa.

Only a few weeks after TAA 2024 concluded in Aruba, Villiger’s TAA exclusive is off to stores. This year’s release comes from the relatively new Maya Selva factory.

After working together on a Year of the Snake release, Gurkha and Oscar Valladares team up for a new limited edition. It’s a Honduran puro slated to ship in January.

The 7 x 54 gran torpedo is the first TAA exclusive in Oliva’s history. It will head to stores in November.
