J.C. Newman Cigar Co. has introduced the Personal Reserve Program, a custom cigar creation experience designed for enthusiasts. The program allows participants to work with a master blender to craft a unique cigar blend or choose from pre-selected staff options. These cigars are then hand-rolled at the companyโ€™s El Reloj cigar factory in Tampa, Florida.

Once rolled, the cigars are aged, wrapped in custom bands, and presented in personalized leather cabinet humidors. Customers can choose from two package options: 80 custom-blended cigars for $2,400 or 20 staff-blended cigars for $500.

โ€œThis program reflects our passion for blending cigars,โ€ said Drew Newman, a fourth-generation owner of the company. โ€œWe wanted to offer connoisseurs the chance to create something truly personal.โ€

The process begins with a consultation, either in-person or online, where participants select from 24 tobaccos sourced from nine countries. Once the blend is finalized, the cigars are rolled, aged, and documented, with the process taking a minimum of six months. Each custom blend is stored in the companyโ€™s blend book, ensuring it can be recreated for future occasions.
