Angel Cuesta cigars are handmade in The American Room at J.C. Newman’s iconic El Reloj cigar factory in the Cigar City of Tampa, Florida. Originally available with an Ecuador Havana Rosado wrapper and a blend of aged binder and filler tobaccos from three continents and a pigtail cap, it is now being made with a Nicaraguan Shade wrapper.

First rolled a century ago, this historic cigar brand is named for Angel LaMadrid Cuesta, one of the founders of the storied Cuesta-Rey cigar brand.  These cigars were the official cigar of King Alfonso XIII, who ruled Spain from 1886 to 1931. Each blend is hand-rolled by a single team of rollers producing only 150 cigars daily, making this exquisite offering highly limited – get one while you can!
