L’Atellier Imports officially launched at the 2012 IPCPR Convention and Trade Show after having started with the first two Surrogates lines as store exclusives for New Havana Cigars. Quickly expanding to a total of four different lines under the Surrogates name during the year, at the 2013 show there was yet another line addition with the 6 x 60 Animal Cracker. Last year in January we saw the release of another cigar with the Animal Cracker blend, called Cracker Crumbs. The petite 4 1/2 x 38 cigar was definitely appealing to people who weren’t a fan of the massive 60 ring gauge of the original, however it seemed to be that the blend was ignoring the middle ground. This year, L’Atellier Imports co-founder Dan Welsh posted an announcement on Instagram stating “Because you asked over and over” – with a photo of a robusto sized Animal Cracker next to its 6 x 60 predecessor. On March 20th, the new Animal Cracker – dubbed the AC550 – launched at The Smoking Tent Event 2016 hosted by Tinder Box Easton, shipping to all remaining retailers the following week.
