10-Year-Old Brick House Cigars Heading to TAA Retailers
This year’s TAA release from J.C. Newman is a trio of cigars that are anything but new.
Rather than creating a new blend for the Tobacconists’ Association of America (TAA) Exclusive Series Program, J.C. Newman is releasing three sizes of Brick House that were aged for 10 years after rolling.
The company says it found the cigars while it was renovating its factory and headquarters in Tampa last year as part of its 125th-anniversary celebration. To clarify, these cigars were rolled in Nicaragua not Tampa likely at the San Rafael factory in Ocotal. Today, Brick House is rolled at J.C. Newman’s PENSA factory in Estelí.
CLE Signature THT-EKE 03/17 Slated as TAA 2021 Release
CLE Cigar Co.’s exclusive release for retailers who are members of the Tobacconists’ Association of America, Ltd. (TAA) is a familiar size with an unfamiliar name.
The CLE Signature THT-EKE 03/17 will come in the unique 11/18 perfecto, a 6 x 48/54/48 vitola that the company has used for a variety of releases over the years. If you are wondering about the blend, the company isn’t talking about that. And if you are wondering about the name including what the THT, EKE, or 03/17 is referencing the company isn’t talking about that, at least for now. Christian Eiroa, CLE’s founder, said “it’s something important” and left open the possibility of explaining it at a later date.

Crowned Heads’ The Lost Angel TAA Exclusive 2021 Shipping Next Month
Last March, Crowned Heads announced its 2020 exclusive release for the Tobacconists’ Association of America (TAA). Then, the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic began canceling events, including the in-person version of the annual TAA Meeting & Convention where orders of the cigar would normally be written.
In the end, the company did more than just delay the release; it’s now releasing a completely different cigar.
The Lost Angel 2021 is a 6 x 52 box-pressed cigar that uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a Brazlian mata fina binder and Nicaraguan fillers. It is being made at Tabacalera Pichardo, the same factory that produces Juárez and Mil Días for Crowned Heads. For context, The Lost Angel 2020 was announced as having an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper and being made at Tabacalera La Alianza S.A. in the Dominican Republic.
