Description
The American 250th Anniversary Cigar is a commemorative cigar produced by J.C. Newman Cigar Co. to honor the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence in 2026. Handcrafted at the historic El Reloj Cigar Factory, this cigar represents one of the few premium cigars still rolled by hand in the United States. The project celebrates both American history and the nation’s long tradition of cigar making.
What makes The American unique is that it is made entirely from tobacco grown in the United States. The cigar features a Florida Sun Grown wrapper, a Connecticut Broadleaf binder, and a blend of Connecticut Havana Seed and Pennsylvania Mennonite filler tobaccos. This combination creates a medium-bodied smoking experience with rich notes of earth, wood, subtle spice, and natural sweetness.
In partnership with the United States Semi Quincentennial Commission and its nonprofit initiative America250, cigars produced at the El Reloj factory will feature a special America250 seal foot band to commemorate the nation’s semi quincentennial celebration. The release highlights both the historical importance of tobacco in early American culture and the continued craftsmanship of premium cigar production in the United States.
