Brand: J.C. Newman Cigar Co.

J.C. Newman Cigar Co.

Founded in 1895 by Julius Caeser Newman, the J.C. Newman Cigar Company is America’s oldest family-owned premium cigar maker. Originally based in Cleveland, Ohio, where Julius rolled his first cigars by hand, the company moved to Tampa, Florida in 1954 to the iconic El Reloj factory, a landmark still proudly operating today.

For over a century, the Newman family has been dedicated to crafting exceptional cigars that represent the best of the cigar industry. Brands like Brick House, Perla Del Mar, El Baton, and Cuesta Rey have become staples for cigar smokers around the world, each offering outstanding taste, quality tobacco, and a smooth smoking experience at a great price. Whether it’s the rich, hearty flavor of Brick House and MAXIMUS cigars or the mild, creamy notes found in Diamond Crown Classic or Perla Del Mar Shade cigars, J.C. Newman cigars have something to offer every palate.

At their historic El Reloj factory in Tampa, the Newman team continues to roll cigars and even offers Factory Throwouts—premium cigars that didn’t meet strict aesthetic standards but still deliver incredible value and flavor. In addition to Tampa, J.C. Newman has a factory in Nicaragua called PENSA and partner with the Fuente family in the Dominican Republic to produce blends that reflect the company’s commitment to excellence.

From the days in Cleveland to becoming a cornerstone of American cigar culture, J.C. Newman Cigars stands as a true pioneer. Today, they not only produce premium cigars but also offer a full line of cigar accessories to enhance the smoking experience.

At LM Cigars, we are proud to offer a curated selection of J.C. Newman cigars—crafted with passion, steeped in tradition, and perfect for anyone who appreciates history, quality, and a truly smooth smoke.
