A Cigar Aficionado subscription makes the perfect holiday gift. 

They say that no family business lasts beyond the third generation, but don’t tell that to the Newmans. Now in its fourth generation, the J.C. Newman Cigar Co. turned 125 years old last year, and it’s been in the family since day one. To celebrate more than a century in business, the Newmans decided to convert more of their headquarters into museum space, as well as turn the top floor of the old brick building into a rolling gallery where a few skilled cigarmakers produce a brand called The American entirely by hand. 

The storied structure is located in the heart of Tampa, and is a beautifully appointed institution dedicated to the art and craft of cigarmaking. It’s also an interactive exhibition that chronicles the Newman legacy and tells their story in full. 

The majority of the cigar industry may have abandoned Tampa long ago, but the Newmans never left, and they continue to call Cigar City their home. Cigar fan or not, no trip to Tampa is complete without a visit. And yes, you’re allowed to smoke.

Imports of premium, handmade cigars continue to impress.
