J.C. Newman Cigar Co. is shipping The Troublemaker, a new size to its top-selling Diamond Crown Julius Caeser brand of cigars, to 105 premium cigar retailers across the United States. 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.<\/p>\n
\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<\/p>\n
\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<\/p>\n
\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<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
