J.C. Newman Launches Diamond Crown in Celebration of Tampa

On July 15, 1887, the Florida Legislature officially incorporated the City of Tampa. As J.C. Newman celebrates the 139th anniversary of the city they proudly call home, the company reflects upon the rich cigar-making heritage that built Cigar City — a legacy they are proud to preserve every day at their El Reloj cigar factory and museum. In commemoration of this special occasion, J.C. Newman invites you to light up a Diamond Crown Tampa cigar.

Diamond Crown Tampa is a tribute to the people and places that have helped shape Tampa’s history. Its packaging showcases some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the Tampa Theatre, Plant Hall, Bayshore Boulevard, the Gasparilla pirate ship, and the J.C. Newman’s very own 116-year-old El Reloj cigar factory.

Handcrafted by Tabacalera A. Fuente, Diamond Crown Tampa is a 6 1/2″ x 52 Toro wrapped in a Connecticut Shade leaf, complemented by Dominican binder and filler tobacco.

This tribute to Cigar City is available exclusively at our El Reloj factory store in historic Ybor City and at Corona Cigar Company Tampa.

Happy 139th birthday, Tampa!
