Eric Newman, President of J. C. Newman Cigar Co.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Eric Newman. Really down to earth guy with solid family values. I was lucky enough to be invited to do a video interview at my favorite hangout in Northern Illinois, Neumann's Cigars & More.

Fans of Diamond Crown, Julius Caeser, Brickhouse, Quorum, 59 Factory Throwouts, etc., check out the clips on my blog.

I also had the good fortune to receive a couple of "event release only" perfecto vitolas of the Julie Caeser. I believe that there are still some more of these Diamond Crown Red Carpet events on the schedule for the Diamond Crown Lounges, so I'd say it's worth a visit.

The perfecto vitolas of the Julie Ceaser are also found in the 2011 CFC box along with a perfecto opus? Or are these different?

Mmm I have heard about these. Have any pix I can drool over?

You're right, Eric is a very nice man.

Is there a schedule of events anywhere?

Is there a schedule of events anywhere?

Looks like they may have just wrapped up the Red Carpet events.. http://www.jcnewmanonline.com/home/index.php/media/calendar.html

These perfectos are not the same as the ones paired with the Opus X. I'll try to get a few photos of them up here.

Damn. Nothing too close for shops anyways. Can't wait to see the pictures!

Those all look super freaking cool! Love the band on them. To be honest, I've never had a JC or diamond crown. I've seen a few but never pulled the trigger. Thanks for the pic! Do a review when you do burn them. I'll be looking forward to it!
