The year 2020 marked a significant milestone for America's oldest family-owned premium cigar maker, with J.C. Newman Cigar Company celebrating their 125th anniversary. This coincided with a number of celebrations, including the grand re-opening of their historic factory in Tampa, an overhaul of the Perla del Mar brand, and a third blend in the collection: Perla del Mar Corojo.
The Perla del Mar marca was first revived by J.C. Newman in 2012. The name dates back to 1905, when four Cuban brothers named the line after the Pearl of the Sea, describing the island of Cuba and its dominance of premium cigars of the time. But Perla del Mar has now been given a classy makeover and amplified tobacco recipes for the modern cigar enthusiast.
With the Perla del Mar Corojo, the cigars are rolled at Newman's own PENSA factory in Nicaragua, offering fiery Nicaraguan leaves throughout the cigar's binder and filler. This concoction is finished in a bronze-hued Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper and pressed into a rectangular shape, dubbed the "Tampa Press." This makes for a medium-plus body, with a cool smoking temperature delivering classic characteristics of caramel, cabinet spices, salted nuts, leather, and sweet coffee through the finish.
Country of Orgin : Nicaragua
Strength : Medium

*Please note that all SKUs have two product lines. The top line is the box/bundle count. The second line is less than a box/bundle count and will be shipped as loose cigars in a humidified bag.
Martin Kollman - Perla Del Mar Corojo Robusto
I first tried this corojo from the Great Smoke a couple of years ago and it quickly found a rotation in my regular smoking. The flavors have enough to keep you interested through the whole cigar but don't change so much you don't enjoy it over and over. Nutty and smooth with bits of pepper, leather, and walnut are what you should expect with a cigar that you will smoke to the nub. Amazing cigar for the price.

Sean Correia - Perla Del Mar Corojo Corona Gorda
Coffee and sweetness with a little bit of spice. Medium-bodied and well constructed with nice smoke output.

Chad M - Perla Del Mar Corojo Corona Gorda
This is a great smoke for the price. There is some nice salty but sweet mixture during this smoke. Put me on the beach fishing with this smoke and I am very happy.

Martin Kollman - Perla Del Mar Corojo Toro
While I do like the robusto of this cigar, it really shines in the toro with a fuller flavor and great feel in that box press style that I love. I get even more variety in this cigar with the extra leaf and the longer smoke is perfect for those nights with a good beer or something stronger. Nutty and smooth with bits of pepper, leather, and walnut are what you should expect with a cigar that you will smoke to the nub. Amazing cigar for the price.
