Newman Ships the America250 Cigar Humidor"},"content":{"rendered":"

With the 4th of July one month away, J.C. Newman Cigar Co. is shipping the America250 Cigar Humidor today. This all-American cigar humidor is handcrafted in the United States by Jason LeGear of Milwaukee Humidor Co. Each humidor contains 50 The American Perfecto cigars, one for each of the 50 states. This is a new 6.25\u201d x 50 size of J.C. Newman\u2019s all-American cigar brand. Both the humidor and the cigars will bear the official America250 branding of the United States Semiquincentennial Commission.<\/p>\n

\u201cJ.C. Newman is proud to roll official cigars of the 250th Anniversary of the United States,\u201d said fourth-generation cigar maker Drew Newman. \u201cWe are equally proud to release this limited-edition series of America250 cigar humidors. Cigars have been an important part of our country since its founding. Therefore, it is only fitting that we celebrate America\u2019s 250th birthday with a humidor and cigars handmade in America.“<\/p>\n

Every part of this project, from the blend of heirloom tobaccos in the cigars to the hinges used in the humidor are grown or made in the United States. The lid of each humidor features a map of the United States. Using marquetry, LeGear has shaped each state with wood from trees that are native to the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tradition of American craft dates back to before the founding of our country, the Native peoples constructing their environment to live and connect with myth, settlers creating novel ways of making furniture in an American tradition all its own, and those of us embracing natural materials to explore art and design,\u201d said LeGear. \u201cI am honored to be woven into the tapestry of American Handcraft in our fine country with the America250 Cigar Humidor. It is my homage to American cigar culture, from the giants of culture like Mark Twain, Orson Welles, Groucho Marx, Ernest Hemingway, and Studs Terkel, to the people who for generations have cultivated, harvested, and created the cigars you now enjoy.“<\/p>\n

Because the wood used in each humidor varies, the 50 humidors are unique works of art. Each humidor has a capacity of 100 to 125 cigars. The suggested retail price is $2,750.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
