J.C. Newman Cigar Company’s Diamond Crown brand has its 38th lounge. On June 8, Norwood Cigars in Chicago had a grand opening as it became the latest Diamond Crown lounge. The grand opening was held at the retail store where J.C Newman owner Bobby Newman was in attendance.
“Norwood Royal is a haven for cigar lovers,” said Bobby Newman. “Vick and Mita Shah have built a world class cigar lounge, and we are so honored that it now bears that Diamond Crown name.”
“When smoking bans started to spread two decades ago, our family decided to partner with family-owned cigar retailers like the Shahs to create first-class lounges for consumer to enjoy fine cigars like Diamond Crown,” said Newman. “It is a privilege for our family to help support a network of destinations for cigar connoisseurs.
