J.C. Newman Cigar Company was established in 1895 and is the oldest family-owned premium cigar maker in the United States.[1] It was founded in Cleveland, Ohio by Julius Caeser Newman, a Hungarian immigrant. The business relocated to a historic 1910 cigar factory (Regensburg cigar factory) in the Cigar City of Ybor City, Florida in 1954. The family business is now in its fourth generation of Newman ownership.
J.C. Newman Cigar Company manufactures and distributes premium cigars. As a Hungarian immigrant, J.C. Newman rolled his first cigars in the family barn in Cleveland in 1895. In 1954, the company moved to Tampa's Ybor City cigar district to be closer to Cuba. J.C. Newman is also the worldwide distributor for Arturo Fuente cigars, except for Western Europe. Today, J.C. Newman's cigars are sold in 81 countries around the world.
J.C. Newman operates cigar museum 2006-11-15 at the Wayback Machine on the first floor of its historic Tampa factory.
In 2001, the Newman family joined the Fuente family in creating the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has raised over $3 million to build schools, medical clinics, farms, and sports and recreation facilities to help the poor children of the Dominican Republic.
J.C. Newman utilizes antique, hand-operated ARENCO and American Machine and Foundry cigarmaking machines from the 1930's in its Tampa factory.[4]
