J.C. Newman have announced the 2024 version of the José Gaspar cigar. The yearly release celebrates the yearly Gasparilla festival held each year in Tampa.
“José Gaspar was one of most feared pirates in the Americas,” said Drew Newman, fourth-generation owner. “Sailing from his base near Tampa Bay in the late 1700s, he terrorized the Gulf of Mexico and amassed a great fortune. Gaspar celebrated victories with a bold and flavorful cigar. This cigar honors his legacy and the tradition of Gasparilla.”
This year, J.C. Newman is releasing 10,000 José Gaspar cigars. The 2024 release of José Gaspar is a 6.5’ x 52 cigar wrapped with a Havana wrapper. The 2024 José Gaspar cigars are sold in packs of 5 cigars with an MSRP of $40.

“When pirates invade Tampa and parade down Bayshore Boulevard on January 27, they will be enjoying José Gaspar cigars,” said Newman. “Just like the pirates of Gasparilla, however, José Gaspar cigars will sail out of Tampa Bay at the end of Gasparilla season and will not be available again until next year.”
JC Newman provided a video with some further explanation.
