The Angel Cuesta cigar brand was crafted to pay tribute to Angel LaMadrid Cuesta, an early 20th century cigar crafter from Spain. Angel and Peregrino Rey’s (his business partner) cigars were held in high esteem by King Alfonso XIII of Spain. Soon Cuesta was given the title of “Tobacco Purveyor for the Spanish King and Court.” The Angel Cuesta cigars feature a lush Ecuadorian Habano wrapper placed over premium filler leaves from three undisclosed countries. They are well-regarded for their superb construction and rich complexity. Only a select team of two highly skilled rollers are allowed to craft these exceptional cigars, which are handmade at J.C. Newman’s El Reloj cigar factory in Tampa, Florida. The Angel Cuesta is a century old brand that is still making history and will continue to do so for years to come. Be part of it!

The J.C. Newman Yagua is a uniquely shaped cigar that is made using an age-old but rare rolling method. It was brought back by Lazaro Lopez, who is the general manager of Newan’s Puros de Estelí Nicaragua S.A, aka PENSA factory. The cigars are rolled using an under fermented (wet) wrapper. Once rolled, the cigars are wrapped and tightly bound by a leaf from the Yagua tree, aka Cuban Royal Palm. This rolling method was used by Lopez’s grandfather for his own private blend in Cuba many decades ago. This non-traditional process allows the cigars to develop their own unique shape and the wet leaf adds to the cigar’s strength and flavor profile. The J.C. Newman Yagua is available in singles and boxes. If you purchase the box, the cigars are wrapped in a bundle using the Yagua leaf prior to boxing.
