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 at a price everyone could afford. Using perfectly-aged Dominican longfillers and binders rolled in your choice of the finest Connecticut shade-grown natural, or naturally-sweet broadleaf Maduro wrappers, La Unica Cabinet cigars are well-balanced, rich-tasting Dominican cigars, made by the same craftsmen behind Arturo Fuente cigars.
