J.C. Newman Cigar Co. Chairman Stanford Newman first approached his friend Carlos Fuente Sr. about an idea he had in 1985. He wanted to make the first 'premium' cigar offered in bundles. Using the finest Connecticut wrappers, aged Dominican fillers and binders, La Unica #400 cigars are well-balanced, rich-tasting Dominican cigars, skillfully made by the same craftsmen who produce Arturo Fuente cigars. And La Unica #400 cigars are 'firsts,' not seconds like other value-priced bundles.
