I just wanted to know if anyone knows of any taa release dates. I haven't really seen anything specific posted online. Ive talked to a few b&m owners and they pretty much said they give you a general time frame and they get there when they get there.

If it's one thing I have learned working in the industry is that there is only one company that will give a release date and actually stick to it, and that company is Davidoff. Every other company gives you date and that is vague at best. That said... here is the notes I have on the TAA Exclusives for 2016.

Tatuaje TAA 2016 - September
Padron 1926 48 - Mid June
Crown Heads Angels Anvil 2016 - Late May
La Flor Dominicana TAA 48 - 45 days after convention
CLE Azabache - Just arrived
Quesada Reserva Privada Maduro - After the convention
My Father El Centurion H2KCT Torpedo - ???
La Palina Bill's Blend - After the convention
Herrera Esteli Maduro - Now Available in allocated amounts (regular production)

Any source for this being regular production? FWIW I smoked one and its more of a Liga IMO than a HE but it was pretty tasty. Not surprising given the hallmark mata fina binder and broadleaf wrapper combo. I think the Norteno profile is a better example of a HE maduro even if the box press is horrendous.

The TAA shops will receive it in allocated amounts, I imagine it will be similar to the way stores receive the Unicos

To me, it baffles my why this is a guessing game year after year. I think the TAA can really help themselves if they just issue an announcement on what the cigars are, when are the release dates, etc. To me, they should be creating awareness and excitement about these cigars (especially this yea as there are some real intriguing ones)

Just tried the CH TAA-16 yesterday and it was tops. I loved it. Jon and company outdid themselves.
