This week, J.C. Newman Cigar Co. is shipping the final release of the year of its Yagua and Diamond Crown Black Diamond cigars. A total of 1,720 boxes of Yagua and 520 boxes of Diamond Crown Black Diamond are being shipped to 412 premium cigar retailers in 46 states.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt continues to shock me that Yagua has developed a cult-like following,\u201d said fourth-generation owner Drew Newman.\u00a0 \u201cI didn\u2019t make Yagua to sell. In fact, I didn\u2019t think that cigar enthusiasts would like Yagua because it breaks all of the cigar-making rules.\u00a0 Yagua is misshapen and unattractive.\u00a0 We roll it with underfermented tobacco, and no two Yagua are alike.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shortly after being rolled, 20 Yagua cigars are bound together while still wet using a Yagua palmiche palm leaf. Each box of Yagua contains a bundle of 20 cigars still wrapped in the palm leaf.\u00a0 Yagua cigars measure 6\u00d754.<\/p>\n
\u201cYagua is a difficult cigar to roll because we use an under fermented Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, blend the filler tobaccos differently, and do not use the usual tools and techniques of a cigar factory,\u201d said Newman. \u201cAs the wrapper is not fully fermented, we have age the cigars for a full year after they are rolled.<\/p>\n
Diamond Crown Black Diamond Cigars are the pinnacle of J.C. Newman\u2019s Diamond Crown cigar brand.\u00a0 First introduced in 2016, Diamond Crown Black Diamond cigars are hand rolled in Tabacalera A. Fuente in the Dominican Republic.\u00a0 They feature an Connecticut Havana wrapper with a blend of aged Dominican binder and filler tobaccos.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy grandfather, Stanford J. Newman, told me that his father, J.C. Newman taught him that we should aim to do something better every day,\u201d said Drew Newman, general counsel, and fourth-generation owner.\u00a0 \u201cAlthough our Diamond Crown Black Diamond cigars have been savored by cigar enthusiasts around the world for six years, I was not satisfied and wanted to make them better.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
