Newman is proud to introduce the newest addition to the Yagua family: the Yagua Robusto (5&#8243; x 56).<\/p>\n<p>The Yagua cigar was inspired by the unique cigars that Lazaro Lopez, general manager of our PENSA factory in Nicaragua, remembers his grandfather crafting on his family&#8217;s tobacco farm in 1940s Cuba. Rolled without molds or presses, each cigar is uniquely shaped and bundled together while still wet using a Yagua palmiche palm leaf, just as it was done generations ago. No two cigars are exactly alike, and that&#8217;s precisely what makes Yagua special.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYagua is a difficult cigar to roll because we use an underfermented Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, blend the filler tobaccos differently, and do not use the usual tools and techniques of a cigar factory,\u201d said fourth-generation J.C. Newman Cigar Co. owner, Drew Newman. \u201cAs the wrapper is not fully fermented, we have to age the cigars for a full year after they are rolled.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>J.C. Newman will begin shipping Yagua Robusto to premium cigar retailers nationwide next week, with a suggested retail price of $10.50. From its roots on a Cuban family farm to the skilled hands of artisans at their PENSA factory in Nicaragua, every Yagua cigar honors the centuries-old tradition of cigar making.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>J.C.
