Newman Cigar Co. Introduces The Troublemaker"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"s1\">J.C. Newman Cigar Co. introduces The Troublemaker, a new size to its top-selling Diamond Crown Julius Ceaser brand of luxury cigars. The Troublemaker is a 5.75\u201d x 52 soft perfecto. It is packed in leather boxes of 20 cigars with a suggested retail price of $17 per cigar. Like all Diamond Crown cigars, The Troublemaker is handcrafted by the Fuente Family for the Newman Family at Tabacalera A. Fuente in the Dominican Republic. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cOne of my longtime mentors is Rich Dolak, the vice president of operations at both J.C. Newman and Arturo Fuente,\u201d said fourth-generation owner Drew Newman. \u201cSince I was a teenager, I\u2019ve sat in Rich\u2019s office and listened to him teach me about the cigar business. Above Rich\u2019s desk hangs a vintage poster with a unique cigar shape. Three years ago, I asked him, \u2018Why can\u2019t we roll a cigar like that?\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cWe call it \u2018The Troublemaker\u2019 because it was very difficult to make,\u201d said Newman. \u201cRich used a knife to shape a dowel to match the cigar shown in the poster above his desk. We then used that hand-carved dowel to create custom cigar molds for this special size.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The first boxes of The Troublemaker shipped to the 36 Diamond Crown Cigar Lounges across the country. The Troublemaker will be exclusive to the Diamond Crown Cigar Lounges until it becomes available nationwide early next year.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cBecause this cigar was such a pain to create, the factory has another name for it,\u201d said Newman. \u201cAs that name is not appropriate to print, its officially called \u2018The Troublemaker.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>J.C.
