Newman\u2019s Cleveland cigar factory. A century ago, El Baton was a very popular and famous cigar brand in the Midwest but its popularity waned before World War II.<\/p>\n<p>In 2008, Eric and Bobby Newman relaunched El Baton as J.C. Newman\u2019s first cigar hand rolled in Nicaragua. El Baton is a full-bodied cigar rolled with a blend of rich, Nicaraguan tobaccos. Cigar Aficionado awarded it a 93 rating and named El Baton one of its Top 25 cigars. Since then, El Baton has been J.C. Newman\u2019s under-the-radar cigar. Unsatisfied, Drew Newman decided to tweak the El Baton blend and create new packaging in a more traditional style that better reflects the century-old history of this storied cigar brand. The new El Baton will ship to retailers in late summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>J.C.
