Perla del Mar cigars were first conceived in the late 19th Century to honour Cuba's highly acclaimed cigar heritage. Because Cuba's rich, fertile soil formerly created the most flavourful cigar tobacco in the world. Cuba was known as the Pearl of the Sea. Now, more than a century later, J.C. Newman Cigar Co. has recreated Perla del Mar, handmade in the J.C. Newman PENSA cigar factory in Esteli, Nicaragua. Today's Perla del Mar is a rich and flavourful tribute to its original Cuban blend.
