Press Release: J.C. Newman Introduces New Sesenta Sampler Featuring Nicaraguan Portfolio

July 12, 2013 (Tampa, Fla. — With all the highly-rated cigars coming out of Nicaragua, it’s hard to choose just one. The new Sesenta Sampler is the answer to this problem. Two Brick House cigars, one Perla del Mar and one El Baton provides a well-balanced selection of all the Nicaraguan Cigars that J.C. Newman offers.

You can start the Sesenta journey with a walk down memory lane. The strongest smoke of the four, the El Baton, is one of J.C. Newman’s vintage brands made by founder J.C. Newman himself. This powerful yet smooth Nicaraguan cigar, “stirs a sense of nostalgia for me” says the company’s President Eric Newman. “It’s like smoking a piece of history” adds Vice President Bobby Newman.

The Brick House Cigars in the set are a “Go-To” for many aficionados around the country. The Maduro is the same trusted blend that Brick House is known for, but adds a touch of sweetness, while the Mighty Mighty provides a fuller bodied, stronger smoke. With a Havana Subido wrapper and Nicaraguan Filler, both Brick House cigars featured in the sampler are perfect for any occasion.

Rounding out the foursome is the mildest of the group. The Perla del Mar features filler and binder tobaccos from four different distinct regions of Nicaragua. The cigar is described as having a mild and smooth smoke with a slight touch of peppery spice.
