J.C. Newman and the LeRoy Neiman Foundation Release LeRoy Neiman 2024 Collectors Edition Cigars

J.C. Newman Cigar Co. is shipping LeRoy Neiman 2024 Collector’s Edition cigars to 150 premium cigar retailers across the United States. This is the second year that J.C. Newman and  LeRoy Neiman and the Janet Byrne Neiman Foundation have collaborated to create a cigar honoring the late cigar-smoking American artist, LeRoy Neiman.  Continuing the tradition from last year, all profits will be donated to support arts education in Tampa’s public schools.
 

LeRoy Neiman Collector’s Edition cigars are produced at J.C. Newman’s El Reloj cigar factory in Tampa. The 2024 release is a 7 x 50 Churchill ($22) with a Havana Rosado wrapper, a Florida Sun Grown binder, and filler tobaccos from Latin America. They are packed in 20-count cabinets, which feature a lithograph of the Neiman painting, “Left Bank Café.” The image is also wrapped around each cigar. The bottom of each cabinet includes a print of Neiman’s paint-splattered New York City studio floor. 
“LeRoy Neiman embodied a richly textured blend of creativity, passion, and exuberance, which found expression in his iconic artwork and a signature appreciation for fine cigars,”  Tara Zabor, LeRoy Neiman and Janet Byrne Neiman Foundation executive director, said in a press release. “ His fondness for cigars was more than just a habit; it was an intrinsic part of his persona, a ritual that paralleled his artistic process—taking time to savor, to contemplate, and to create.”
