NEW: Yagua
This unique cigar has an equally unique story behind it.
“The cigar was inspired by J.C. Newman PENSA’s General Manager, Lazaro Lopez, who shared the following with Drew Newman (Fourth Generation Owner, J.C. Newman Cigar Company) over dinner in Estelí, Nicaragua in 2019:
“At our family farm, my grandfather would take fresh to***co leaves from the curing barns and roll ci**rs without any molds or presses. In an attempt to give his ci**rs a traditional shape, he would tie a handful of them together using pieces of the Cuban royal palm tree, known as the yagua. When he was ready to enjoy his personal ci**rs, he untied the bundle. He loved how every cigar had its own unique shape. I still remember the rich aroma and taste of my grandfather’s ci**rs. Today, I’ve recreated Yagua, rolling them exactly how my grandfather did a century ago.””
