J.C. Newman Cigar Company has announced its Personal Reserve Program. This program allows cigar enthusiasts to obtain personal blends, which can be custom blends or selected staff blends.
The custom blends are offered in a package of four personalized leather cabinet humidors containing 80 custom cigars for $2,400.00 plus a $250.00 consultation fee. Staff-blend cigars are available in a personalized leather cabinet humidor containing 20 cigars with custom bands for $500.00.
“This is the ultimate holiday gift for cigar aficionados,” said Drew Newman. “As cigar makers, it is a privilege and pleasure to create new blends using the best tobaccos in the world. I have met so many wonderful and passionate cigar enthusiasts, and I want to offer them the opportunity to do the same.”
“This unique program is possible because J.C. Newman has the best of both worlds: our boutique El Reloj cigar factory in Tampa, Florida that can hand craft 80 perfect bespoke cigars and our large PENSA cigar factory in Esteli, Nicaragua that has a vast library of aged cigar tobaccos that I have cherrypicked,” added Newman.
Personal Reserve Program Steps
- The cigar enthusiast will be guided through the process through an in-person or virtual consultation with a member of J.C. Newman’s blending team.
- Tobaccos will be selected from J.C. Newman’s tobacco library, which currently contains 24 cigar tobaccos from nine different countries.
- J.C. Newman will prepare the cigars based on the selections, this includes blending the cigar and hand-rolling them.
- The cigars will be aged to the customer’s specifications in J.C. Newman’s underground aging room at the El Reloj factory.
- The cigars will be presented with custom cigar bands and packed in personalized leather humidors.
J.C. Newman says the process will take at least six months from start to finish. Throughout the journey, J.C. Newman plans to share photos documenting the journey of creating the cigars. In addition, J.C. Newman will keep a record of the blend.
“Each blend created will be stored in our family’s blend book,” said Newman. “If someone blends a custom cigar for their wedding, we will be able to recreate it later to celebrate the birth of a child or another of life’s milestones.”
The staff blends are designed for those who feel the overall process is too time-consuming. These cigars can still be customized with personal packaging. J.C. Newman is limiting the program to ten participants per month.
