The Perla del Mar Corojo is a line extension of the J.C. Newman Cigar Company’s Perla del Mar brand, which was created by the Perfecto Garcia Brothers in Ybor City, Florida over a century ago. In 2016, Newman revitalized the brand with new blends and a whole new look. Handmade in Nicaragua, the Perla del Mar Corojo uses the finest tobaccos from Nicaragua’s top-growing regions for its binder and filler, which is then cloaked by a reddish Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper. The cigars are box-pressed using the Tampa-style method, which gives the cigar a more rectangular shape. This unique form allows the cigar’s tobaccos to marry and develop their distinctive flavor and deliver a satisfying smoking experience.

The original Perla Del Mar was a highly acclaimed fan-favorite, and now JC Newman has followed it with a darker, bolder version - the Perla Del Mar Maduro. Using a beautiful Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper on top of Nicaraguan binder and filler, this box-pressed gem chooses to remain in the medium-bodied territory instead of venturing into stronger waters like many of its colleagues utilizing similar components. Although the strength is subdued, the flavor is certainly not. Expect rich notes of chocolate, molasses, coffee and cream throughout this exceptional value smoke.

Perla del Mar cigars are affordable, box pressed smokes made by JC Newman Cigars in Nicaragua. Perla del Mar features an Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed Shade wrapper and Nicaraguan binder and fillers. Spice and caramel notes are found throughout this smooth cigar with well balanced flavors. A great smoke for the price.
