By David Savona Verified| Cigar Aficionado Verified J.C. Newman has been around for a long time—the company’s roots go all the way back to 1895. It has quite the portfolio of old brands. This past weekend, during the PCA trade show in New Orleans, the company revived one of those old-time brands and unveiled Sarzedas. The line is made at J.C. Newman’s PENSA factory in Nicaragua, and the blend was created by Rich Dolak, a 29-year veteran of J.C. Newman who serves as the Tampa, Florida, company’s vice president of operations.
