Today, J.C. Newman Cigar Co. began shipping The El Reloj Collection to premium cigar retailers across the United States. This box set contains ten luxury cigars handcrafted in J.C. Newman’s iconic El Reloj cigar factory in the “Cigar City” of Tampa, Florida with a suggested retail price of $240 per box. These are the first cigars packaged by J.C. Newman with the official America250 seal celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the United States.
“America has a rich cigar tradition that dates back to 1612 when the first commercial tobacco crop was planted in the Virginia Colony,” said fourth-generation cigar maker Drew Newman. “When my great-grandfather founded our family business in 1895, there were 40,000 cigar factories in the United States. Today, El Reloj is the last large cigar factory still rolling cigars in the country.”
The El Reloj Collection includes the following cigars:
- Two The American Toro
- Two Angel Cuesta Rosado Toro
- Two LeRoy Neiman Collector’s Edition 2023
- Two Angel Cuesta Shade Toro
- Two Tampa Smokers Toro
“J.C. Newman is proud to roll official cigars of the 250th Anniversary of the United States,” said Newman. “The El Reloj Collection showcases how we are keeping America’s historic cigar-making tradition alive by handcrafting exquisite luxury cigars in the United States.”
