J. C. Newmann Cigar Co. is now whipping its updated version of the Perla Del Mar cigar to brick and mortar retailers across the U.S. Handmade at J. C. Newmann PENSA in Nicaragua, the new Perla Del Mar is an improved version of the Perla del Mar Launched by the Tampa cigar maker in 2012. It is named after one of the leading premium cigar brands of the early 1900’s.
In a press release, J. C. Newmann general counsel Drew Newmann said, “Although our Perla del Mar cigars were good, we were not totaly satisfied. We wanted to make them better – and that’s exactly what we did.
Perla del Mar’s existing Shade and Maduro blends have been strengthened with aged Nicaraguan filler tobaccos, and a new Corojo blend, rolled with Ecuadorian Corojo Wrapper, has been added to the family. Perla de Mar cigars are now shaped in a classic Tampa-style press and packed with traditional bands and boxes.
Each blend comes in four sizes and prices range from $6.45 to $7.60. Boxes of 25 run from $161.25 to $190.
“Although our family has been rolling cigars for 125 years, we do not rest on our laurels,” said Newmann, who represents the fourth generation of leadership at the family-owned operation. “We are constantly working to improve everything that we do, and we are very pleased with the new Perla del Mar.”
