PERSONAL RESERVE PROGRAM

J.C. Newman Cigar Company’s Custom Cigar Experience

J.C. Newman Cigar Company created the Personal Reserve program to celebrate the art of crafting your own cigar, tailored precisely to your taste and occasion. Whether you are commemorating a wedding, a milestone, or simply indulging your passion for premium cigars, our Custom Cigar Experience offers an unparalleled journey into the world of personalized cigars.

Crafting your own cigar can be as intimate or as flexible as you desire. For those seeking the ultimate experience, our Start From Scratch option allows you to create a cigar from the ground up with the guidance of one of J.C. Newman’s expert tobacconists. You’ll hand-select from a world of tobaccos, and our team will guide you through every step, ensuring the result is a cigar that truly reflects your unique tastes.

If starting from scratch feels overwhelming, too time-consuming, or expensive, our Staff Blends are an ideal option. These unique, expertly curated blends, crafted by our team, can still be customized with personalized packaging and are available in as little as one box of 20 cigars. It’s a simpler, yet equally refined way to enjoy a cigar designed just for you.

Additionally, our Blending Tool offers a fun and interactive way for you to experiment with different tobacco combinations, creating your own virtual blend. You can explore our selection of 24 premium tobaccos, share your creation with friends, and even use this tool to plan ahead for your in-person consultation if you choose to join the Start From Scratch program.

As a four-generation family business, we believe that a great cigar is a reflection of craftsmanship, passion, and individuality. Whether you choose to create your cigar from scratch, enjoy a Staff Blend, or experiment with our Blending Tool, we look forward to helping you craft a cigar as unique as you.
