What makes this series a top value choice?
This cigar bundle provides a quality smoking experience by utilizing "seconds"—cigars with minor aesthetic flaws, such as slight discoloration or sun spots, that do not affect the internal tobacco quality. According to Newman family standards, these cigars utilize authentic Ecuadorian Sun Grown wrappers rather than homogenized tobacco leaves (HTL), ensuring a genuine natural leaf experience.
"These cigars are quality smooth to medium-bodied smokes that sell for a great, low price."
— Industry Review, L.M. Cigars
Key Features of the Sweetened Double Corona
The No. 99 is specifically designed for those who appreciate a longer smoke with a touch of sweetness and a slow burn time of approximately 60-90 minutes.
-
Ecuadorian Sun Grown Wrapper: A genuine natural leaf wrapper that provides an authentic earthy spice and a beautiful hue.
-
Sweetened Tip: A light application of sweetener on the cap enhances the initial flavor profile and provides immediate pleasantness.
-
Machine-Made Consistency: Produced at the historic El Reloj factory in Tampa, Florida, to ensure a reliable draw and solid construction.
-
Cost Efficiency: By utilizing a bundle cigars format instead of cedar boxes, the cost per stick is reduced to approximately $1.64.
Flavor Profile and Smoking Experience
The smoking profile is surprisingly complex for a discount cigar. Upon lighting, the sweetened tip gives way to notes of toasted cedar, light pepper, and creamy nuttiness. Because these use quality filler from premium crops, the burn remains even throughout the 7.25-inch length. It is an ideal "yard cigar"—perfect for activities like gardening or fishing where you want great taste without the financial risk of a single stick.
Expert Verdict
This release is the ultimate "everyday" smoke for the budget-conscious aficionado. While the wrappers may have minor aesthetic imperfections, the J.C. Newman pedigree ensures a smooth, medium-bodied experience that significantly outperforms its price point. It is best for smokers who prioritize flavor, consistent draw, and extreme value over visual perfection.
