LeRoy Neiman Collector’s Edition cigars are handcrafted at J.C. Newman’s historic El Reloj cigar factory in Tampa, Florida. The 2024 release is a 7” x 50 Churchill rolled with a Havana Rosado wrapper, a Florida Sun Grown binder, and a blend of aged filler tobaccos from Latin America. This year’s edition is limited to 12,000 cigars, packed in 600 cabinets of 20 cigars with a suggested retail price of $22 per cigar. J.C. Newman is shipping the first 400 boxes this week. The remaining 200 boxes are scheduled to ship in early November.
Inside each cabinet is an authentic lithograph of “Left Bank Café.” The image is also wrapped around each cigar. The bottom of each cabinet includes a surprise print of Neiman’s paint-splattered New York City studio floor. All of the packaging was printed by Vrijdag Premium Printing in Holland. J.C. Newman and the LeRoy Neiman Foundation will be donating all profits from this collaboration to support arts education in Tampa’s public schools, including those surrounding the El Reloj cigar factory.
“Every cigar from the LeRoy Neiman 2024 Collector’s Edition directly supports our ongoing mission at the Foundation,” notes Tara Zabor. “The profits help us improve arts education in local public schools, keeping LeRoy’s passion for nurturing creativity alive and thriving among the next generation of artists.”
