Tampa, FL - For the first time in twenty years, the J.C. Newman Cigar Company proudly announces a new size and a new
cedar cabinet to the
La Unica cigar line. The La Unica #600 (6" x 50 ring) has been created to accommodate smokers who prefer a popular
Toro sized smoke.
Handmade in the Dominican Republic by Tabacalera A. Fuente, this new cigar, as well as the other top selling sizes in the La Unica line-up, will feature the original 1986
blend that made La Unica the #1 selling premium
bundle cigar in the 1990's.
All sizes will be available in a natural and a Maduro wrapper, and will now be packed in attractive new cedar boxes for the same value price as the original bundles.
Rated "90" in Cigar Aficionado, La Unica Premium Handmade cigars offer a smooth and creamy, un-intimidating smoke. La Unica's new look and cigar is scheduled to launch exclusively in smoke shops around the country in late May. The original La Unica product consisted of five popular sizes, each personally selected by Carlos Fuente, Sr.
Stanford Newman introduced La Unica in 1986 as the 1st premium handmade cigar packed in bundles. Shortly after its introduction, it became the top selling premium cigar in a bundle, outselling many premium cigars sold in boxes. With the changes in the handmade cigar industry over the past twenty years, J.C. Newman Cigar Company decided to re-launch this popular cigar, positioning it to an emerging market that prefers a medium-bodied smoke.
"We are reintroducing the original 1986 blend of La Unica in boxes to a fresh new market who have never experienced the savory flavor and richness of La Unica cigars," states Eric Newman, president of the company. £
J.C. Newman Cigar Co., founded in 1895 by J.C. Newman represents over 110 years of family tradition in quality cigar manufacturing. J.C. Newman Company's Cuesta-Rey, Diamond Crown and Diamond Crown MAXIUMS cigars rank among the top-selling brands in the imported handmade cigar market. The Newman family is also partners with the Carlos Fuente family in Fuente & Newman Premium Cigars Limited Inc., the exclusive U.S. distributor of the famous Arturo Fuente Premium Handmade cigars.
