America’s Oldest Family Owned Cigar Manufacturer
Founded in 1895 by Julius Caeser Newman, J.C. Newman Cigar Company is
the oldest family-owned premium cigar maker in America. For four
generations and 125 years, J.C. Newman has been handcrafting many of the
world’s finest cigars. J.C. Newman is headquartered in an iconic
110-year-old cigar factory in the Ybor City National Historic Landmark
District in Tampa, Florida. At this factory, known as “El Reloj,” J.C.
Newman rolls premium cigars both by hand and by hand-operated, antique
cigar machines.
The J.C. Newman PENSA cigar factory is the second largest in
Nicaragua and is where Brick House, Perla del Mar, El Baton, and Quorum
cigars are hand rolled. J.C. Newman’s Diamond Crown, MAXIMUS, Julius
Caeser, and Black Diamond cigars are handmade by Tabacalera A. Fuente in
the Dominican Republic. With its longtime partners the Arturo Fuente
family, the Newmans founded the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation,
which supports low-income families in the Dominican Republic with
education, health care, vocational training, and clean water. Watch this
