The story

These cigars are celebrated for their intense character and rich profile, offering a truly authentic Nicaraguan smoking experience.

01

A Legacy Reborn

The El Baton brand first emerged in Cuba in 1914, gaining a reputation for its quality. After decades of dormancy, it was brought back to life in 2008 by the J.C. Newman Cigar Company. This revival marked a significant moment, as El Baton became J.C. Newman's inaugural venture into crafting a cigar exclusively from Nicaraguan tobaccos.

02

Distinctive House Style

El Baton cigars are renowned for their full-bodied profile, crafted entirely from 100% Nicaraguan tobaccos. This includes the wrapper, binder, and filler, all sourced from the fertile regions of Nicaragua. Hand-rolled in Estelí, these puros deliver a rich tapestry of flavors, often featuring notes of spice, earth, coffee, and dark chocolate, appealing to those who appreciate a robust smoke.

Key Facts and Recognition

Since its reintroduction, El Baton has consistently been recognized for offering exceptional value within the premium cigar market. It stands as a testament to J.C. Newman's ability to produce high-quality, full-flavored cigars outside of their traditional Dominican and Honduran offerings. The brand is available in several classic sizes, maintaining its commitment to a powerful and consistent smoking experience.
