Barton El Baton is J C. The retro brand created by Newman's founder in 1914. Originally hand rolled with Cuban tobacco at a cigar factory in Cleveland, Ohio, although popular for many years, the emergence of machine rolled cigars led to the disappearance of Barton cigars from the market in the 1920s. In 2008, J.C.'s grandchildren Eric and Bobby Newman reintroduced the Barton brand, becoming the company's first Nicaraguan cigar. By combining modern flavors with the legacy of its glorious history, J C. The Barton series launched by the Newman family pays tribute to the family's starting point and once again writes another glorious story under the name Barton.
