The Angel Cuesta cigar brand was crafted to pay tribute to Angel LaMadrid Cuesta, an early 20th century cigar crafter from Spain. Angel and Peregrino Rey’s (his business partner) cigars were held in high esteem by King Alfonso XIII of Spain. Soon Cuesta was given the title of “Tobacco Purveyor for the Spanish King and Court.” The Angel Cuesta cigars feature a lush Ecuadorian Habano wrapper placed over premium filler leaves from three undisclosed countries. They are well-regarded for their superb construction and rich complexity. Only a select team of two highly skilled rollers are allowed to craft these exceptional cigars, which are handmade at J.C. Newman’s El Reloj cigar factory in Tampa, Florida. The Angel Cuesta is a century old brand that is still making history and will continue to do so for years to come. Be part of it!

The J.C. Newman Yagua is a uniquely shaped cigar that is made using an age-old but rare rolling method. It was brought back by Lazaro Lopez, who is the general manager of Newan’s Puros de Estelí Nicaragua S.A, aka PENSA factory. The cigars are rolled using an under fermented (wet) wrapper. Once rolled, the cigars are wrapped and tightly bound by a leaf from the Yagua tree, aka Cuban Royal Palm. This rolling method was used by Lopez’s grandfather for his own private blend in Cuba many decades ago. This non-traditional process allows the cigars to develop their own unique shape and the wet leaf adds to the cigar’s strength and flavor profile. The J.C. Newman Yagua is available in singles and boxes. If you purchase the box, the cigars are wrapped in a bundle using the Yagua leaf prior to boxing.

LeRoy Neiman was a celebrated American artist. He was best known for his vividly colored expressionist paintings of sports figures, sporting events, musicians, and celebrities. LeRoy was very fond of cigars, and he often painted while enjoying a cigar. As a warm tribute to Neiman and his passion for painting and smoking cigars, the J.C. Newman Cigar Co. and in collaboration with the LeRoy Neiman and the Janet Byrne Neiman Foundation created the LeRoy Neiman 2023 Collector's Edition cigar. This limited-edition toro sports a gorgeous, red-hued Havana Rosado wrapper expertly placed over a Florida Sun Grown binder and carefully aged filler leaves from Latin America. The cigars are expertly hand crafted at the historic El Reloj cigar factory, which is owned by J.C. Newman and located in Tampa, Florida. The cigars come adorned in a specially designed band. The inside of the box features an authentic lithograph of the “Irish-American Bar,” which was painted by Leroy in 1978. The bottom of each box is a print that depicts the paint-splattered floor of Neiman’s apartment in New York City. All profits made from the sale of the cigars will go to the support of arts education in public schools in Tampa, Florida.
