J.C. Newman Cigar Company is the oldest family-owned premium cigar manufacturer in the United States, established in 1895 by Julius Caeser Newman. Originally based in Cleveland, Ohio, the company moved to Tampa’s historic Ybor City in 1954 to be closer to key tobacco sources in Cuba. It remains family-owned and is now in its fourth generation.

The company produces a wide range of premium cigars, blending traditional hand-rolling techniques with American innovation. Its product lineup includes notable brands from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and the United States, such as Cuesta-Rey, Diamond Crown, Brick House, and The American. J.C. Newman also serves as the worldwide distributor for Arturo Fuente cigars, excluding Western Europe. With a commitment to quality and craftsmanship, J.C. Newman Cigar Company sells its products in 81 countries, catering to premium cigar enthusiasts and retailers around the globe.
