This brand is a very special jewel in the tiara of J.C. Newman Cigar Co.’s Dominican handmade cigars. Reimagined from a Tampa Havana Clear cigar from the 1940’s and 1950’s, J.C. Newman Cigar Co. produced this cigar in collaboration with Arturo Fuente Cigar Co. This cigar was the first of dozens of Newman-Fuente collaboration cigars. Conceptualized as a value bundle brand, thousands of La Unica cigars flew off the shelves of American humidors in the 1980’s and 1990’s. In the early 2000’s, J.C. Newman Cigar Co. turned the brand into a boxed cigar which comes in boxes of twenty. Though Cuesta-Rey and La Unica fell off in terms of popularity when faced with the hugely successful Nicaraguan handmade brands, La Unica remains the favorite of hundreds of thousands of American cigar smokers. This cigar is a throwback to the glory days of the cigar boom in the 1990’s. This cigar graces every humidor it touches. Translated as “the unique one” this cigar represents incredible value and aroma. It is the collaboration of the tobacco genius of Stanford Newman and Carlos Fuente, Sr. Furthermore, this cigar was originally manufactured by Cuesta-Rey Cigar Co. Cuesta-Rey is the most recognizable Tampa cigar brand in America. La Unica natural features a Connecticut Shade wrapper and select aged Dominican long filler tobaccos. La Unica maduro features a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper and select aged Dominican long filler tobaccos. These cigars smoke like a dream and stand out as truly unique cigars in the world of Dominican handmade cigars. These cigars make an excellent mid-price point cigar for the everyday smoker.
More than twenty years ago J.C. Newman Cigar Company patriarch Stanford J. Newman, challenged his good friend Carlos Fuente, Sr. with an idea that had never been tried in the cigar industry to develop a rich, flavorful, superb-tasting premium cigar and package it in an inexpensive cellophane bundle. Until that time, factories only packaged their seconds in bundles. Today La Unica No. 200 Maduro cigars, with the original 1986 blend and smooth rich flavor, preserves the history of the brand. These superb cigars have now grown up from their bundle days and are elegantly packaged in custom cedar cabinets of 20. Despite the maturity of the packaging, we have not strayed from our roots and the original hand selected, perfectly aged blend of tobaccos that make La Unica a favorite.

What is La Unica?
La Unica is a Dominican handmade cigar with authentic Connecticut wrappers and select aged Dominican long filler tobaccos. These cigars tend to have smaller ring gauges and very long lengths.
History of La Unica
La Unica was a brand of Tampa handmade cigars. Manufactured by Cuesta-Rey Cigar Co., La Unica was a Cuban puro “Havana clear” cigar enjoyed by millions of Americans in its heyday. Popularity of the cigar tapered after the Cuban Embargo and it was out of production until the 1980’s. In 1986, Stanford Newman resurrected the brand with the help of Carlos Fuente, Sr. The two men worked together to make a blend of tobaccos which could be enjoyed everyday for a relaxing smoking experience. The cigar has enjoyed critical success ever since, flying off shelves.
