Casa Carrillo Announces the 2026TAA Exclusive Cigar

Casa Carrillo, internationally acclaimed for its masterful craftsmanship and award-winning premium cigars, proudly announces the 2026 Casa Carrillo TAA Exclusive, a limited-edition release created exclusively for members of the Tobacconists’ Association of America (TAA).

Continuing the tradition of creating distinctive blends for TAA members, the 2026 edition brings together tobaccos from five countries to deliver a complex, medium-plus strength smoking experience. The blend features an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, complemented by an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and a carefully selected combination of fillers from the United States, Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic.

The combination of these tobaccos creates a distinctive blend that showcases Casa Carrillo’s commitment to thoughtful blending, quality craftsmanship, and the art of balancing diverse tobacco characteristics into a cohesive smoking experience.

The 2026 TAA Exclusive will be presented in a 5½ x 58 vitola, offering a substantial format designed to showcase the complexity of the blend. With production limited to just 1,000 boxes of 10 cigars, this exclusive release offers participating TAA retailers a unique addition to their premium cigar portfolios.

Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, founder and master blender, shared his perspective on this year’s release:

“With the 2026 TAA Exclusive, we wanted to bring together tobaccos from different origins to create a blend with depth, character, and balance. The Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and Ecuadorian Sumatra binder provide a distinctive foundation, while the combination of fillers from four countries adds complexity. The result is a medium-plus cigar that reflects our passion for blending and our commitment to creating something special for TAA members.”

The 2026 Casa Carrillo TAA Exclusive will carry a suggested retail price of $14 per cigar and will be available in limited-edition boxes of 10. Once the 1,000-box production is allocated, no additional quantities will be available from this release. Shipping will begin next week.

With each annual TAA Exclusive, Casa Carrillo continues its commitment to delivering distinctive blends and exclusive offerings to the independent tobacconists who play an essential role in the premium cigar industry.
