Welcome to the TPA!
Born from passionate discussions at the Chicagoland Pipe Show, the TPA represents the shared vision of cigar and pipe enthusiasts who saw the need for an organization that champions the unique values of both communities. Our members include cigar brands, manufacturers, retailers, pipe carvers, pipe tobacconists, and accessory companies, all committed to excellence in their craft.
We are dedicated to education, advocacy, and innovation. Through partnerships with SOTL Global Movement and Tobacconist University, we offer our members access to educational courses, certifications, and webinars. These opportunities enhance professional credibility and expand networking through a global community of enthusiasts and professionals.
The TPA is committed to navigating regulatory challenges and embracing industry trends to ensure a prosperous future for our members. We support local businesses by organizing regional events and offering exclusive membership deals, fostering community and collaboration within the tobacco industry.
