I'm thrilled to witness this. The Newmans are a treasure in our industry, and that building stands as a timeless testament

[@postmandug]

Agree. Very nice family as well!

[@vfigueroa62]

Thank you J.C Newman for your dedication to your family’s legacy of cigar making and thank you Drew for all you do in lobbying to our government and preserving yours and our rights to enjoy premium cigars today. 🙌🏼🔥🔥🙌🏼

[@SmokinTabacco]

In a world where there are hundreds of brands and companies, only a small percentage are the real deal through and through. J.C. Newman and the Newman family are in the upper echelon of that truth.

[@Wolfie-fd2re]

Thank you so much Drew , Eric and Bobby for the priceless JC Newman history

[@Letsgetbusy293]

Best cigars I've ever smoked would love a box of those beauts

[@uriel-heavensguardian8949]

Awesome film it’s fascinating to see how these families and companies are intertwined

[@williamholbrook-f8q]

I can’t wait to visit this September, we schedule a tour on my birthday

[@hbtcigar]

This is such a beautiful thing to see. We are so grateful for the Newman family and all those who keep the passion of Premium Cigars alive and well! Burn cigars, not bridges. 🙏

[@josephwatts2904]

Thank you to you guys and to Pete Johnson for producing a further chapter into the incredible legacy of the cigar industry. I’ve been fortunate as an employee of Corona Cigar Co to witness the fruition of Jeff’s passion for FL grown tobacco and to see the support from the Newman family firsthand. Every year they graciously invite all employees to come to the factory for a personal tour, rundown and gifts of their cigars, and also allow us to apply by hand FL grown tobaccos to the American cigar. May the Newmans have much continued success and may America regain her opportunity to shine as a producer of premium cigars.

[@k.johnson2722]

great documentary! love the cigars and now even more in love with the family’s story! from alabama to florida to all the botl and sotl (cut, light, and puff)!!!

[@demonicswagger4763]

The American is a great cigar. At first I didn’t like it but the more I smoke it the more I love it. I love the idea and the cigar itself. Great job, Drew!

[@baba-vh7hb]

Excellent, excellent, excellent! Thank you to all who are involved with making this series a reality. Special thanks to Pete Johnson for his commitment to this project.

[@grizz6691]

Stories like this one should be told more often. I applaud all that were involved and look forward to future productions.

[@oldirtystrangersods42]

I was here for the premiere. Thank you JC Newman Cigars and Mike Zucker for introducing me to this wonderful family

[@mrcat3493]

I have so much respect for the Newman family. Years ago I had an issue with a diamond crown humidor and Bobby himself called me to make it right. That tells me how much they care and now they have a loyal customer.

[@eugeneliller183]

2nd video I have seen on this family J.C.Newman…I love what their story, looks like I need to try their cigars…

[@Foremancigars7]

Looking forward to this masterpiece.

[@evil3mpirecigar5ociety]

The entire Newman family are the salt of the earth. They are the example of what it means to be a leader of an industry both in terms of success and as a people in general.

[@Super50calbmg]

Some of my favorite cigars. And roots in Cleveland. What’s not to love?

[@Tommy.OrginalvideosPhilly]

Fascinating history of J.C. Newman! Love seeing the craftsmanship behind these hand-rolled cigars. Makes you appreciate the skill involved even more.

[@sharonprice588]

So fortunate to live only an hour away from Ybor City. Have been to El Reloj 3 times and this movie is incredible! Great making and interviews! 👍🏼🙌🏼💯

[@Bcharns]

I just moved south of Tampa and loved visiting the JC Newman factory, great tour. I love the 6 x 60 Maduro Brickhouse Cigars, they have become my go to.

[@jamesstigall]

@stigall Done. Loved this episode. Excited to see the rest of the Tatuaje episode!

[@MastinoNapoletano420]

Smoking on a Quorum Robusto Naturale this morning. I am really new to cigars and they were 40 dollars for a pack of 20. 2 dollar cigar that goes foot to foot with more expensive sticks. Love the coffee, pepper, grass notes that come off it. Thank you for sharing!

[@_Steve_W]

This is an awesome film 👍

[@BigALCigarSmoke]

What an amazing video and the history behind it is incredible. Thank you JC Newman family!

[@AndrewJohnson149]

Great production. Very nice job!!

[@Tapsreefingandthings]

Incredible as always

[@discoversacramento4189]

A masterfully told story… well done!

[@bdeditch]

@bdeditch very interesting, its to bad you couldn't grow more cigar tobacco. This has to be the best movie I have seen about the history of cigars made in USA.

[@AlecWilcosky]

Currently reading Ybor City: Crucible of the Latina South by Sarah McNamara. I learned a lot about what it was like being a ybor city cigar worker!

[@Cherokie89]

I've never smoked a JC Newmann cigar. Might be time to change that. I want to support what they've done in keeping the american cigar industry alive.

[@anthonysekulo8884]

Fantastic!!!!!!

[@GCDelpieroItalia]

Incredible video!

[@jimrayne6375]

My first cigar was -the American- Florida Strong!🇺🇸

[@DownThePieRateHole]

You got me something for my birthday; and I am about to light up a cigar!

[@smittysmith234]

This film is very educational… future cigar smokers now have something to research.

[@christopherwalmer871]

Awesomeness....❤

[@permittedjoys7346]

@Permitted_Joys The American is one of my favorite cigars. I do my best to keep them on hand

[@natem1332]

Next week I'm buying a box of "Americans" and one day I will visit ybor and the factory where that cigar was rolled and shake the hands of the family who put in the work on my behave to enjoy this American pastime.

[@CamiloGomezP]

I woul love to try an American!!! where can we get it in Canada? Please!

[@CigarGhost]

Make cigars great again

[@baba-vh7hb]

[@LlVE365]

I guess I'll be the asshole who addresses the elephant in the room. The 2nd documentary is nothing, but, a continuation of the Newman's last movie. I learned a lot from the 1st Hand Rolled movie. This 2nd installment just re-summarized most of what I already knew. Should've called it "The History of Cigars II."

[@HandRolled]

The first movie was a bird's eye view of the entire cigar industry, and a history lesson from the 1950's to present day. It only touched very briefly on a few manufactures. This is the first episode of the followup Hand Rolled docuseries, where we tell the full story of one manufacturer per episode. This way, you get an in depth look into a manufactures history, the area they represent and everything they've gone through to bring you the cigars you love from their company. Because the Newmans also work closely with fighting regulations, there is some overlap from the first documentary. You're not an asshole, you were just the only one that didn't understand what was happening.

[@LlVE365]

@@HandRolled You didn't read my comment all the way. I'm not talking about the 1st Hand Rolled movie. I'm talking about the History of Cigars movie .

[@pattycakes2211]

@REDBEARD_BROADLEAFFAN I am so glad I happened upon your IG. I have been diving head long into Cigar history as of late and to find one of my very favorite cigar manufacturers in a documentary is fantastic! Can't wait to go back to Ybor and visit the factory!
