The Tobacconists' Association of America (TAA) was founded in 1968, offering tobacconists across the country beneficial tools and knowledge to grow. For the cigar customer, this translates to a more professional, trustworthy shopping experience, knowing that the tobacconist has gone the extra mile for their clientele.

And then there's the TAA Exclusive Series...

Perhaps the best perk for the select group of roughly 80 qualified TAA tobacconists is the access to special smoking experiences under the TAA Exclusive Series. Each year, the industry's top manufacturers craft unique sizes and/or entirely custom-build blends to be sold exclusively by TAA-authorized retailers. These cigars are often extremely limited, showcasing some of the most highly regarded smoking experiences in the world of craft, premium cigars.
