總部位于坦帕的J.C. 紐曼雪茄公司與佛羅里達州的煙草零售商皇冠雪茄公司合伙開設了一家鉆石王冠雪茄吧。4月18日,，周四，這家雪茄吧舉辦了盛大的開業(yè)慶典,。這是紐曼公司和皇冠雪茄公司的第二次合作，也是美國第36家鉆石王冠雪茄吧,。2008年皇冠雪茄公司在奧蘭多開設了第一家雪茄吧,。
30多年來，鉆石王冠也一直是紐曼公司旗下的雪茄品牌之一,。這個品牌是委托富恩特家族在多米尼加共和國代工卷制的,，多年來，紐曼公司一直在擴展這個品牌的產品線,。今年底,，紐曼公司還將擴展一個新的系列，名為鉆石王冠坦帕系列,，新系列使用了皇冠雪茄公司的老板杰夫·鮑里西維奇(Jeff Borysiewicz)在佛羅里達州種植的煙葉，還有佛羅里達陽植有限公司（Florida Sun Grown LLC）種植的煙葉,。
紐曼公司的產品有不少用到了杰夫·鮑里西維奇種植的煙葉,，比如美國品牌、勒羅伊·奈曼品牌限量版,。
杰夫·鮑里西維奇回憶起與紐曼家族長達20多年的交情,，他還記得斯坦福·紐曼送給他的第一支鉆石王冠雪茄,，當時算得上是一支豪華雪茄,，直到今天也是一款杰出的雪茄。
杰夫·鮑里西維奇已經在佛羅里達州開設了五家雪茄吧,，包括眼下這一家坦帕店,，這里距離紐曼雪茄公司的總部很近。
埃里克·紐曼說,，我們很自豪在家鄉(xiāng)有這樣一家鉆石王冠雪茄吧,，坦帕是雪茄之都，雪茄愛好者能有一個享受鉆石王冠雪茄的好去處,，對我們來說很重要,。
紐曼雪茄公司2007年在馬里蘭州開設了第一家鉆石王冠雪茄吧，到目前累計在全美開設了36家,。坦帕店的位置以前是大衛(wèi)杜夫的雪茄吧,，營業(yè)面積5000平方英尺，雖然是皇冠雪茄公司和紐曼公司共同出資開設的,，但從技術角度來說,，算是徹底的鉆石王冠雪茄吧,。
二樓還有450平方英尺的空間，這里供會員使用,。擺放著大量的桌椅,，以及紐曼的復古煙灰缸。如果二樓接待滿了,，雪茄吧的其他空間都還有充足的座位和空間,，包括一個存酒很多的吧臺。
這家雪茄吧提供鉆石王冠雪茄,，以及紐曼公司的其他系列產品,，比如美國品牌、天使奎斯塔,、勒羅伊·奈曼品牌,。
Tampa-based J.C. Newman Cigar Co. has once again joined forces with one of Florida’s most prominent retailers, Corona Cigar Co., to open a Diamond Crown Lounge in the retailer’s Cigar City location. The lounge was formally unveiled at a grand opening celebration last Thursday, April 18. The new spot marks the 36th Diamond Crown Lounge in the United States, and the second collaboration with Corona Cigar, which has housed a Diamond Crown Lounge in Orlando since 2008.
Diamond Crown has been a staple of J.C. Newman's portfolio for nearly 30 years. The cigars are made by the Fuente family at Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia. in the Dominican Republic. J.C. Newman has expanded the brand numerous times over the years, and plans to do so again later this year to commemorate this newest collaboration. Called Diamond Crown Tampa, the new cigar will be rolled with tobaccos grown in Florida by Jeff Borysiewicz, owner of Corona Cigar Co. and Florida Sun Grown LLC, a tobacco farm in Florida.
Borysiewicz’s Florida tobacco is no stranger to the J.C. Newman portfolio, which features his tobacco in such brands as The American and the LeRoy Neiman Collectors Edition.
“My family and I have been friends with the Newmans for more than 20 years,” says Borysiewicz. “I fondly remember when Stanford Newman gave me my first Diamond Crown cigar. It was an outstanding luxury cigar then, and it remains an outstanding luxury cigar today.”
Borysiewicz has expanded Corona Cigar Co. into five brick-and-mortars across the Sunshine State, including the gorgeous Tampa location near the airport, located just a short drive from J.C. Newman’s Ybor City headquarters.
“We are so proud to have a Diamond Crown Cigar Lounge in our hometown,” says Eric Newman. “Because Tampa is ‘Cigar City,’ it is important to us that cigar enthusiasts have a first-class location to enjoy luxury cigars like Diamond Crown.”
J.C. Newman opened its first Diamond Crown Cigar Lounge back in 2007 in Maryland. Since then, the cigarmakers have opened three dozen additional locations across the country. For their newest location, the entire 5,000 square-foot Corona Cigar Co. Tampa store is technically a Diamond Crown Cigar Lounge, taking the place of what was once a Davidoff of Geneva lounge.
There’s also a new, private Diamond Crown room on the second floor for store members who have cigar lockers. Plenty of tables and chairs line this 450 square-foot space, along with many of the J.C. Newman Vintage Ashtrays, meant to resemble the famous ashtrays found at New York City’s Stork Club in days of yesteryear. There’s ample seating and space throughout the rest of the store should this upper area reach capacity, including a large, well-stocked bar.
The lounge will also house rare selections of the Diamond Crown brand and other lines from the J.C. Newman portfolio, including The American, Angel Cuesta and LeRoy Neiman Collectors Edition.
