In March the Tobacconists’ Association of America, Ltd.—or the name you might be more familiar with, TAA—held its 48th annual convention. Leading up to the convention, we started seeing all the different announcements for the 2016 TAA releases, one of which was from La Flor Dominicana. With TAA releases becoming a staple for many manufacturers, we tend to see them stick to a blend and size of their choosing, usually mixing up one or the other from year to year. La Flor Dominicana does it a little differently, as they did with the TAA 47, asking TAA members to smoke three different sizes of this year’s blend—a 5 1/2 x 50, a 6 x 54 box-pressed and a 6 1/4 x 60—and letting the retailers vote on what size they liked best. Once the votes were tallied, the consensus was for the 6 x 54 box-pressed size, which should be shipping to the TAA retailers that ordered them by the beginning of May.
