Brand: Perla Del Mar Cigars

Perla del Mar Cigars

J.C. Newman Cigar Co. recently refreshed the branding on their Perla del Mar brand of cigars. The cigars, iconic for their unique box press and value, received a change to the cigar box art as well as the cigar blend. Perla del Mar was originally a brand owned by the Perfecto Garcia & Bros. Cigar Company, a Tampa-based manufacturer and neighbor to J.C. Newman Cigar Co. Perfecto Garcia manufactured cigars until their Tampa factory closed in 1981. Honoring the legacy of the brand’s Tampa roots, J.C. Newman Cigar Co. released the new Perla del Mar in a “Tampa-style” box press. The Tampa-style gives the cigars a more rectangular appearance. The filler blend for the new cigar underwent additional aging and changed to include more viso leaves. The new Maduro features a Connecticut Broadleaf maduro, Ecuadorian Corojo natural, or Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler. The new blend brings notes of acidity and spice which balance the rich flavor of the the wrappers. The result is a phenomenal everyday smoke with a unique shape from the Tampa-style box press. This cigar is the brainchild of Drew Newman as well as J.C. Newman Cigar Co.’s Nicaraguan master blender Fausto. These cigars have exceptional flavor at a very reasonable price. They are available for a steal in a box of twenty-five. Debatably, this is the finest cigar in the J.C. Newman Cigar Co. portfolio.
