El Baton

The El Baton cigar boasts a rich history that dates back to 1914, when it was first crafted by J.C. Newman in Cleveland, Ohio. Originally hand-rolled with Cuban tobacco, this nickel cigar quickly gained popularity for its quality and affordability. However, the rise of machine-made cigars in the 1920s led to its disappearance from the market

In 2008, J.C. Newman's grandsons, Eric and Bobby Newman, revived the El Baton brand, transforming it into a modern Nicaraguan puro. Today, El Baton cigars are produced in the fertile regions of Nicaragua, offering a full-bodied smoke with a spicy kick. The cigars are wrapped in a dark, oily Ecuadorian Havana leaf, providing a rich and complex flavor profile that includes notes of cedar, leather, and cocoa.
