The American was the first cigar brand rolled in J.C. Newman’s historic El Reloj factory when it opened in 1910 in Ybor City, Florida. A century later, The American has been reintroduced as a 100% American cigar, once again hand rolled in El Reloj. This brand honors America’s cigar tradition by rolling world-class cigars in America using the finest American-grown, aged, heirloom tobaccos. From the tobacco to cigar molds to the wood cabinet boxes, everything is proudly grown and made in America. The American is a flavorful, medium-bodied luxury cigar. As an American puro, it has a unique taste, unlike any other cigar in the world. Its distinctive, earthy flavors are due to soils and climate of the Florida Sun Grown farm where The American’s exclusive Florida Sun Grown wrapper is grown and the cigar’s blend of aged Connecticut and Pennsylvania tobaccos. The American is hand crafted in four sizes and packed in classic wooden cabinets of ten cigars: Wrapper: Florida Sun Grown, grown by Jeff Borysiewicz in Clermont, Florida Binder: Connecticut Broadleaf, grown by John Foster in South Windsor, Connecticut Filler: Pennsylvania Type 41, grown by Mennonite family farmers in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and Connecticut Havana, grown John Foster in South Windsor, Connecticut From the cigar molds to the bands to the hard wood in the cabinet boxes, The American is a 100% American cigar. In keeping with our commitment to transparency, we proudly showcase all of our American partners below.
HAND ROLLING: EL RELOJ CIGAR FACTORY, TAMPA, FLORIDA J.C. Newman’s El Reloj cigar factory in Tampa’s Ybor City National Historic Landmark District is the oldest working cigar factory in America. Built in 1910 by E. Regensburg and Sons, this iconic red-brick cigar factory is where we roll The American cigars by hand — the same way that company founder Julius C. Newman did a century ago
WRAPPER TOBACCO: FLORIDA SUN GROWN After the Spanish-American War, many tobacco growers fled the instability of Cuba and started growing fine cigar tobacco in Florida. By the early 1900s, Florida was the second largest cigar tobacco-growing region in America. In the following decades, this tradition faded and the last last crop was harvested in 1977. Forty years later, Jeff Borysiewicz, owner of Corona Cigar Company, sought to revive this tradition by establishing a 20-acre farm in Clermont, Florida where he grows his famous Florida Sun Grown tobacco, a Corojo 99 seed plant. Jeff’s farm is the closest one to Cuba and its warm, humid climate and mineral-rich soils give its tobacco a unique, earthy taste. The American is the only cigar with Florida Sun Grown wrapper.
BINDER TOBACCO: CONNECTICUT BROADLEAF In the late 1700s, John Foster’s great grandfather’s great grandfather began farming land in South Windsor, Connecticut. Seven generations and more then 200 years later, Foster Farm continues to grow pumpkins, corn, and premium cigar tobacco on 150 acres of rich, fertile soil in the Connecticut River Valley. John is one of the premier growers of famed Connecticut Broadleaf tobacco, which is used as the binder for The American.
FILLER TOBACCO: PENNSYLVANIA AMISH In the mid 1700s, the Amish settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and shortly thereafter began growing tobacco for cigars. It was here where the term “stogie” was coined, named after the legendary Conestoga wagons that carried settlers West in the 1800s and their drivers who smoked long, strong cigars rolled with fresh Lancaster tobaccos. Today, Amish families continue this tobacco-growing tradition and spend their summers in the fields growing and harvesting their famous cigar tobaccos. The American’s filler includes a blend of Pennsylvania Amish tobaccos.
FILLER TOBACCO: CONNECTICUT HAVANA In addition to Connecticut Broadleaf tobacco, John Foster is also the exclusive grower of Connecticut Havana Seed tobacco. This heirloom seed was formerly grown in the Connecticut River Valley decades ago but fell out of favor and stopped being planted until Foster Farms resurrected it a decade ago. This special, aged tobacco is used as the wrapper for J.C. Newman’s Diamond Crown Black Diamond and is also blended in the filler of The American to enhance the complexity of its flavor profile.
CIGAR BOXES: MILLENNIUM WOOD BOX, MIAMI, FLORIDA Millennium Wood Box is a family-owned business founded by Miguel Cabrera. Miguel and his team hand craft The American cigar boxes in Miami, Florida using basswood that is sustainably and responsibly grown in America.
PRINTING: ACTION LABEL, SANFORD, FLORIDA Jason Schenck takes pride in his work as one of the leading printers of cigar art. His state-of-the-art presses in Central Florida produce cigar labels and bands for many of the leading cigar brands. Jason and his team print the art for The American on sustainably-sourced papers produced in America.
CIGAR MOLDS: HSA CIGAR MOLDS, DADE CITY, FLORIDA Nick Cutro’s relationship with the Newman family spans more than 50 years; his uncle was J.C. Newman president Eric Newman’s sixth-grade teacher. Today, Nick uses precision injection molding technology at his factory in Central Florida to make the cigar molds used in El Reloj for The American and for many other cigar factories in the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
CELLOPHANE TUBES: REYNOLDS PACKAGING, GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN After being hand rolled, The American cigars are aged for six months in the basement aging rooms of El Reloj in order to allow their complex flavors to marry and mature. Afterward, they are taken to the factory’s second floor to be inspected and color sorted before being individually banded and placed into protective cellophane tubes by hand. The cellophane tubes are made by Reynolds Packaging in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
The Herrera Esteli Brazilian Maduro features a dense Plantation Grown Mata Fina wrapper, over a Connecticut River Valley Broadleaf binder with fillers from Nicaragua.
Manufactured at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate, the Herrera Esteli Brazilian Maduro was blended by Willy Herrera.
“The Herrera Brazilian Maduro is my expression of the floral and earthy Brazilian Mata Fina tobacco. We use it typically as a binder or accent tobacco in the filler but I wanted to showcase its dynamic and unique texture.”
-Willy Herrera, Master Blender of Drew Estate
Wrapper: Brazilian Mata Fina Binder: Connecticut Broadleaf Filler: Nicaraguan
A five-country blend that uses medio tiempo tobacco to deliver an exceptional medium bodied smoking experience.
The Ligero grade of leaf is the highest on the tobacco plant and known for its strength and complexity.
On a small number of plants, two additional tobacco leaves grow above ligero. These are called medio tiempo. At the height of the tobacco plant, they get the full benefit of the sun to produce an intense complexity and strength. La Gloria Cubana Medio Tiempo uses this rare leaf in the center of each cigar, resulting in a unique blend that is loaded with flavor and complexity in a medium bodied smoke.
Wrapper: Ecuador Sumatra Binder: USA Broadleaf Fillers: Honduras La Entrada, Nicaragua Esteli, Dominican Republic Piloto Cubano COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: El Credito Factory, Dominican Republic
Made entirely of Cuban-seed, long-leaf ligeros from the fertile soils of the Jalapa Valley in Nicaragua, Created by the popular Oliva family, these babies are handcrafted with a combination of a full-bodied blend of ligero long fillers, a spicy binder, and a mild luxurious Habano wrapper resulting in a super smooth, medium bodied smoke with lots of balanced flavors and surprising undertones of coffee and sweet cream.

By By Anthony's CIgars on Nov 5, 2021 | In News | Comments Off on Forbidden Fuente Friday OpusX “ForbiddenX 13” 2020 Release
Four new versions of OpusX ForbiddenX 13, two of which are NEW SIZES!
OpusX ForbiddenX 13 Deseos d’Amor (5 1/4 x 50) OpusX ForbiddenX 13 El Beso Prohibido (5 3/4 x 52) OpusX ForbiddenX 13 Pasion d’Amor (6 1/8 x 48) OpusX ForbiddenX 13 Amor Sensual (6 1/8 x 54)
Apparent by the look this isn’t the same as the original.
The most obvious change THE PACKAGING!
The cigars are wrapped in cedar sleeves, something different from the original ForbiddenX 13 release.
If you smoked the original ForbiddenX 13 in the past, it’s obvious that these new sizes have a different shade wrapper compared to the 2011 and 2018 releases.
“Forbidden X is the evolution of the Fuente Fuente Opus X. This line contains the rarest selections of tobacco born from Chateau de la Fuente. In true ToyMaker style, Carlito ages this mysterious blend in Forbidden barrels in a secret area of our beloved factory. This line encapsulates the mystical and spiritual essence of the gods.”
“Revenant” is the latest addition to the Gurkha portfolio.
Available in either a Corojo or San Andres Maduro wrapper.
The cigars have a commonality that provides a unique flavor profile that both use a Cameroon binder to provide some natural sweetness and Broadleaf in the fillers.
The Revenant is being made at El Artista in the Dominican Republic and are the first cigars for Gurkha from this outstanding factory.
The Revenant Corojo uses a Corojo wrapper over the Cameroon binder and fillers from Nicaragua, Dominican Criollo 98 and Broadleaf.
The Revenant Maduro has a Maduro wrapper from San Andrés over the Cameroon binder with fillers from Nicaragua, Dominican T-13 hybrid (a cross between Dominican Criollo 98 and Piloto Cubano) and Broadleaf.
