Sarzedas is a true revival. The name dates back to 1900, when JC Newman first rolled the line and marketed it as “The Aromatic Cigar.” The company reintroduced it in 2025, once again tying modern production to its early history. Rolled at JC Newman’s PENSA factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, Sarzedas bridges the company’s Tampa roots with the craftsmanship of its contemporary Nicaraguan operation. The blend was designed as a flavorful, balanced cigar rather than a niche project. Created by Rich Dolak, JC Newman’s longtime operations vice president, it uses an Ecuadorian Shade wrapper over Dominican and Nicaraguan binder and filler. The result is a smooth, aromatic cigar that honors the brand’s origins while offering the refinement and consistency expected from JC Newman today.

La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor is one of the cornerstone collaborations between José “Pepin” Garcia and Ashton, created to give the La Aroma line a bolder, more modern identity. Produced at the My Father factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, it marked the moment when the brand shifted from its Cuban heritage revival toward being recognized for serious Nicaraguan craftsmanship. The name Mi Amor, meaning “my love,” reflects both the personal pride behind the project and the passion that defines Garcia’s blending style. The cigar uses a dark Mexican San Andrés wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, creating a rich yet balanced profile that helped make it one of the most awarded cigars in the La Aroma portfolio. Mi Amor remains a defining example of how the partnership between Ashton and the Garcias successfully combined heritage branding with the power and depth of Nicaraguan tobacco. It continues to stand as one of the most respected lines in modern premium cigar making.

CLE 25th Anniversary celebrates not only a milestone but the legacy of Christian Eiroa, whose family history in Honduran tobacco stretches back generations. The cigar honors the same philosophy that built Eiroa’s reputation with Camacho in the 1990s and continues to define CLE today: meticulous cultivation, patient fermentation, and blending that reflects authenticity rather than trend. It represents the culmination of years spent refining the use of Honduran tobaccos, which remain at the core of the brand’s identity. Rolled at the CLE factory in Danlí, Honduras, the 25th Anniversary showcases the full expression of the Eiroa family’s work with Corojo seed tobacco. The result is a cigar that balances strength and depth while maintaining the signature smoothness CLE has built its name on. It is a celebration of heritage and craftsmanship, a statement piece that captures why CLE remains one of the few brands carrying forward the classic Honduran tradition at the highest level.
