The Oldest Cigar Factory Still in Operation Is in the U.S.

While many think of Cuba or the Dominican Republic when it comes to historic cigar-making, the oldest still-operating premium cigar factory in the world is actually in Tampa, Florida.

J.C. Newman Cigar Company, founded in 1895, has been crafting cigars for well over a century and still operates out of its iconic factory, El Reloj (Spanish for “The Clock”). Located in Ybor City, the building is a living piece of cigar history—complete with a working clock tower, vintage hand-rolling equipment, and even a museum open to the public.

The Newman family is now in its fourth generation, and the company continues to produce hand-rolled cigars using both traditional techniques and modern methods, honoring the legacy of American cigar craftsmanship.

So while Havana gets a lot of the spotlight, Tampa quietly holds the crown for the longest-running cigar operation in the world.

Weekly Interesting Cigar Facts

Black Label Trading Co.

Small Batch. Big Attitude.

Founded in 2013 by James Brown, Black Label Trading Co. isn’t just a cigar brand it’s a mindset. Built on a philosophy of quality over quantity, BLTC produces bold, small-batch cigars with an edge. From its dark branding to its uncompromising blends, this brand caters to smokers who like their cigars intense, complex, and anything but ordinary.

Why It Stands Out

  • All cigars are handcrafted at Fábrica Oveja Negra in Estelí, Nicaragua, owned and operated by James Brown himself.

  • Known for rich, full-bodied cigars with deep flavors and artistic packaging.

  • Every release reflects Brown’s creative vision, both in flavor and design — think tattoo meets tobacco.

Blends Worth Trying

🔥 Last Rites – Full-bodied with bold notes of dark chocolate, espresso, earth, and a spicy finish.
🔥 Royalty – A refined medium-bodied blend with hints of cedar, pepper, and subtle sweetness.
🔥 Coffin Nails – Dark rich flavors of earth and star anise are paired with bold waves of pepper and baking spice.

Explore the Dark Side of Boutique

BLTC is for the smoker who wants their cigar to stand out — in flavor, appearance, and attitude.
