The American Torpedo 6 1/8 * 52, Box of 20

JC Newman Cigars has been making premium cigars for more than a century. With headquarters in Ybor City, Florida, JC Newman Cigars has been dubbed “America’s Oldest Family-Owned Premium Cigar Maker.” Now entering its fourth-generation as a family run company, JC Newman has brought back the American cigar. First made in 1910, the American is made of 100% American tobacco from wrapper to filler, and it is hand rolled in Newman’s El Reloj factory located in Tampa, Florida. Think of it as an American puro. The American sports a Florida Sun grown wrapper that is draped over a Connecticut broadleaf binder, which houses USA Connecticut and USA Pennsylvania long-filler tobaccos. The American is a medium-strength toro that offers an earthy flavor profile you will want to try again and again. Limited availability, 3 singles per customer

Cigar Origin
USA
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Production of cigars in the United States, once a thriving industry, is now mainly machine made cigars. They are still being produced in the last remaining cigar factory from the 1890s, the JC Newman Cigar factory in Tampa. However, in recent years boutique brands have flourished and are being handmade by select rollers in Miami, Florida.
Strength

Medium
Wrapper Color
Natural
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Natural wrapper, also known as Colorado Claro, is light brown in color.
Wrapper
Sungrown
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Sungrown cigar wrappers come from tobacco plants that are grown directly under the sun without the use of man made tents to give shade as in Shade grown wrappers. As opposed to the Shade grown plants, sun grown tobacco plants grown thicker leaves with thicker veins and darker color. Sungrown wrappers can be appreciated for their rich taste and sweet undertones.
Binder
Connecticut
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Connecticut tobacco is golden brown with a mild to medium flavor. It is mainly grown under shade in the Connecticut River Valley or sun grown in Ecuador.
Broadleaf
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Broadleaf tobacco leaves are known for being large, resilient, thick, and sweetness. Ideally, they are used in the production of maduro cigars and primarily used as wrappers, but they add dimension to a cigar’s flavor profile when used as a binder.
Filler
USA Pennsylvania
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
USA Connecticut
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
J.C. Newman Cigar Co.
Established in 1895, J.C. Newman Cigar Co. is America's oldest family-owned company making premium cigars, which include the cigars they make at the last operating cigar factory in Ybor City, Florida, and their popular Brick House cigars made in their factory in Nicaragua.

Solid core flavors

Eduardo G.06/12/2023About: The American Toro 6" * 54

I know the price tag is mostly for being an 100% american made product, but sorry, this is a very disappointing cigar. To me its worth half the price tag. I just cant recommend it at the current price point.

Ralph C.12/01/2023About: The American Double Robusto 5"1/2 * 56

A fantastic smoke, every time. JC Newman does it right!! Amazing consistency

Jocko N.05/29/2023About: The American Robusto 4"1/2 * 50

A good patriotic cigar

Ben J.03/31/2023About: The American Robusto 4"1/2 * 50

Surprisingly excellent. Leather, coffee, pepper, and wood. Very happy all around

Shaun S.02/27/2023About: The American Robusto 4"1/2 * 50

Just an average stick considering the price tag. I do understand an all American made cigar is gonna cost more than a stick made in the Caribbean. However, it did not wow me.

Travis T.02/27/2023About: The American Toro 6" * 54

Before I try a new smoke, I read the reviews from other smokers. This has proven to be a very reliable method to smoke nothing but the finest. I came across JC Newman 'The American' and purchased them just for the 'novelty factor' of being 100 percent American. After my purchase I read some reviews that stated this cigar was sub-par!?! I received my cigars a month ago and placed them in my humidor. I broke one out to try last night and am extremely surprised by the quality of this stick! I believe that some of you other reviewers need to give this stick another chance. The burn was flawless, smoke was thick, and the flavor was overwhelmingly pleasant!

Stephen B.02/17/2023About: The American Double Robusto 5"1/2 * 56

For a all American tobacco leaf made cigar JC newman killed it! Great smoke!

Perfect cigar holder for my “The American “ cigars, well made and comes with three great cigars. Looks great and stands out when you are around other JC Newman fans.

Greg C.12/14/2022About: The American Toro 6" * 54

Love this cigar, it is in my top 10 cigars.

Doug K.09/15/2022About: The American Toro 6" * 54

Really love the cigar hard to find

Thomas V.09/13/2022About: The American Double Robusto 5"1/2 * 56

Good cigar but canoed

Jerry R.08/19/2022About: The American Double Robusto 5"1/2 * 56

I've had the smaller robusto version of these and it's one of my favorite cigars. This larger version was just as good with a great oak wood flavor. Slight draw issue in the beginning but opened up nicely.

Bobby C.07/17/2022About: The American Robusto 4"1/2 * 50

Love it!!! ????????

michael kinsley07/14/2022About: The American Robusto 4"1/2 * 50

One of the best rolled cigars. Merica!!!

Nelson P.06/01/2022About: The American Toro 6" * 54

The Toro size and overall quality make this a cigar an American classic

Nelson P.06/01/2022About: The American Robusto 4"1/2 * 50

A US puro that should become an iconic classic among the most famous cigars

Robert W.05/24/2022About: The American Toro 6" * 54

It’s very nice to smoke an American puro. As advertised it was very smooth with a little grilled peach/honey in the aroma. Too bad that they are so difficult to find. I’d get more if I could.

Oscar K.05/16/2022About: The American Toro 6" * 54

Best American puro

Jerry R.05/02/2022About: The American Robusto 4"1/2 * 50

Beautiful cigar with a decent draw. I bought it because it was all American and I have never experienced one. Not sure if it's worth the price ($16 per stick) but I will probably keep 1 or 2 in the humidor.

Kevin T.04/24/2022About: The American Toro 6" * 54

Another solid hit from JC Newman.

Jason G.03/11/2022About: The American Double Robusto 5"1/2 * 56

only tried one. would like to revisit good first experience

Ronald C.01/05/2022About: The American Toro 6" * 54

Great smoke with notes of oak, leather and cocoa

Joe B.01/05/2022About: The American Double Robusto 5"1/2 * 56

This is a pleasant surprise....very rich, nuanced smoke. Expensive, but worth it. Beautiful wrapper, even better aroma.

andres l.08/21/2021About: The American Robusto 4"1/2 * 50

Slightly underwhelming due to the price but a solid smoke

Andres D.06/16/2021About: The American Robusto 4"1/2 * 50

Absolute amazing cigar Strong flavor Great burn Buy again

William B.06/07/2021About: The American Toro 6" * 54

Growing up on a farm in Tennessee that grew tobacco, I salute J.C. Newman for doing this product. Low 90s rating for me overall. I almost never agree with strength and flavor descriptions from retailers, but this one is spot-on. Box purchase worthy.

Eric P.04/04/2021About: The American Robusto 4"1/2 * 50

Very different. Earthy. A unique smoke, being all American, which is why I bought it.

Bruce G.03/29/2021About: The American Toro 6" * 54

A great smoke. All American Tobacco. Bought 5 will buy more. Lasts about an hour.

michael E.03/12/2021About: The American Robusto 4"1/2 * 50

Erik V.01/28/2021About: The American Robusto 4"1/2 * 50

Very unique flavors unlike most cigars but then again this cigar is made unlike most cigars.

Casey S.01/21/2021About: The American Torpedo 6"1/8 * 52

‘merica!

subani s.01/19/2021About: The American Toro 6" * 54

Lee E.09/09/2020About: The American Toro 6" * 54

Medium bodied with hardwood and earth notes and a bit of pepper.

Dennis B.08/06/2020About: The American Toro 6" * 54

This is a very good smoke that really fits the after work relaxation. I'll certainly put this one on my go to cigar.

Chris J.07/17/2020About: The American Toro 6" * 54

Absolutely my favorite cigar from the construction, taste, and best of all 100% American made!!

Devin C.06/25/2020About: The American Robusto 4"1/2 * 50

Decent. I'm not sure it's 16$ worth but it's good

Mark K.06/07/2020About: The American Churchill 7" * 47

JC Newman's finest

05/17/2020About: The American Robusto 4"1/2 * 50

The wrapper of the American is smooth, very soft and silk-like, but not overly oily. Chocolate, charred oak, and leather predominate for the first 2/3s without much transition. Perfect draw. Thought it was a little too open but the construction was immaculate requiring no touch ups. Last third starts to reveal multiple layers of sweetness and spice becoming more rich and bold upfront with a retrohale of molasses. Despite being 100% American reminds me of Dominican coroja. Excellent overall, but worth the $16 per stick? If you love the story as much as the taste - then yes. Good for at least a 5 pack, and complimented well by a syrupy spirit or beer. I paired mine with a Lagunitas’ The Waldos Special Ale (12%). Some background from Half-Wheel: * Florida Sun Grown wrapper is grown at Corona Cigar Co. owner Jeff Borysiewicz’s tobacco farm in Clermont, Fla. * The binder—a Connecticut broadleaf varietal—comes from the Foster Farm in Windsor, Ct. * Filler tobaccos include Connecticut Havana-seed grown at Foster Farm as well as Pennsylvania tobacco grown on Amish farms. * The bands are being printed at Action Label in Sanford, Fla. * The ink used on the labels comes from North Carolina. * The boxes are being built at Millenium Wood Box in Miami. * The molds for the cigars were made by HSA Cigar Molds in Dade City, Fla. * The cigars are wrapped in cellophane purchased from Technical Packaging in Pennsylvania.

Robert Earl L.03/25/2020About: The American Toro 6" * 54

Awesome ,Amazing. But unsatisfied with the lack 2%

Robert Earl L.03/17/2020About: The American Torpedo 6"1/8 * 52

It was a pretty enjoyable experience. However, I think the Cigar band is an unfortunate part of the side design with draw Taste and Aroma never lag behind Cuban Cigar. This is a cigar comparable to Cuban cigar montecristo no.2.

Natascha B.02/22/2020About: The American Churchill 7" * 47

This is a greate smoke, it tastes after wood, coffee, cream, nuts, a little bit cinnamon and sweatness. It was a pleasure to enjoy this cigar!!

Eric D.02/17/2020About: The American Toro 6" * 54

This cigar looked amazing. I had such high hopes but the draw and burn were not good at all. Flavours were super rich tobacco tasting. Maybe a bit of a dud. Will try one more....

Frank Guzzo02/13/2020About: The American Robusto 4"1/2 * 50
