The cedar sleeve gives it a little something different from most Brazilian Oscuros, and it’s among my favorite cigars of the last couple years.

It’s sweet, it’s full flavored and perfectly constructed. I wanted a sure thing after a day building a chicken coop with my wife, daughter, son-in-law and granddaughters, something great to finish off a nice day. I really love this dark Brazilian wrapped cigar, a beefy toro at 6½ x 56. It had been a long day, we had a great breakfast with the kids and grandkids, which was only slightly diminished by a migraine. Thanks to my friends at Famous for letting me in on that one as well as sponsoring the contest! This week’s cigar coverage goes back to Sunday, when I selected a nice Tortuga 215 Reserva El Coyote Negra Cedro No.600 from the humidor. I thought the Rocky for President was humorous, and while we all know it’s not a possibility Constitutionally, there are some very good points raised in the satire piece. It’s been a crazy week, I posted a contest on Wednesday, and a humor/ad post on Friday, more than my usual output. The American will initially be released in four sizes and in boxes of 20 with a suggested retail price of between $16.00 and $19.50. Once complete next year, El Reloj will be the premier destination for cigar tourism in the United States. This project includes a new cigar museum, factory store, handmade cigar factory-within-a-factory, tours, seminars, and event space. Newman is investing in a major historic restoration of El Reloj.

In anticipation of this anniversary, J.C. Newman has recreated this historic brand in El Reloj to celebrate J.C. Newman’s El Reloj factory when it opened in 1910 in Ybor City, Florida. The American was the first brand of cigars rolled in J.C. We are proud to be working with the Newman family to bring back this long lost cigar-making tradition after a 50 year hiatus.” “A hundred years ago, it was commonplace for Florida-grown tobacco to be rolled into cigars in Tampa’s numerous cigar factories. “We are delighted to see our exclusive Florida Sun Grown wrapper tobacco being used on a cigar that is hand crafted in America’s ‘Cigar City,’” said Borysiewicz. The binder is Connecticut Broadleaf grown by eighth-generation family farmer Jon Foster and the filler is a blend of Foster’s Connecticut Havana tobacco with tobaccos grown by the Mennonites in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Each box purchase of The American will receive an FSG farm hat and a bottle of Russell’s Reserve.The American is the first cigar rolled with Florida Sun Grown wrapper, grown by Corona Cigar Co.’s Jeff Borysiewicz in Clermont, Florida. We can’t wait to share this cigar with you, so make sure you stop by either event and be a part of cigar history. “We are delighted to see our exclusive Florida Sun Grown wrapper tobacco being used on a cigar that is hand crafted in America’s Cigar City,” said Jeff Borysiewicz, owner of Florida Sun Grown Tobacco Farm LLC and Corona Cigar Company.
