J.C. Newman have announced they will once again be releasing a special cigar for the annual Gasparilla celebration in Tampa. This year, J.C. Newman is releasing 10,000 José Gaspar cigars. The 2023 release is a 6’ x 54 Ecuadorian Havana wrapped cigar. The cigars are sold in packs of 5 cigars with an MSRP of $40.

“José Gaspar was one of most feared pirates in the Americas,” said Drew Newman, fourth-generation owner. “Sailing from his base near Tampa Bay in the late 1700s, he terrorized the Gulf of Mexico and amassed a great fortune. Gaspar celebrated victories with a bold and flavorful cigar. This cigar honors his legacy and the tradition of Gasparilla.”
