Since 2011, Pete Johnson has been creating limited edition cigars for the Tobacconists’ Association of America, an organization of approximately 80 of the largest, highest-volume brick-and-mortar retailers in the industry, as well as about 40 manufacturers. The cigar gets sold at the group’s annual meeting and trade show in the late winter or early spring, and then shipped a few months later.
In 2018, the organization celebrated its 50th anniversary, and to commemorate it, Johnson created the aptly named Tatuaje TAA 50th, a 5 x 52 box pressed robusto with a Connecticut broadleaf rosado oscuro wrapper covering a Nicaraguan binder and filler.
