El Baton by J.C. Newman Cigar Co. is a bold Nicaraguan puro that honors the brand’s 1914 roots while delivering a modern, full‑bodied experience. Crafted at Newman’s PENSA factory in Estelí, it features rich, aged Nicaraguan filler and binder beneath a dark, oily Nicaraguan Corojo or Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, depending on the line‑up, giving each cigar a hearty, slightly spicy profile with notes of cedar, earth, and black pepper. Originally a nickel‑priced cigar from the company’s Cleveland era, El Baton was revived in 2008 and then relaunched in 2022 with an updated blend and sharper packaging, now offered in sizes like Robusto, Double Toro, and Belicoso for enthusiasts seeking a robust, value‑driven smoke.
