[From "When Life Gives You Lemons...
Make Great Cigars"
by Tommy Zarzecki]

Stanford Newman always went by the credo that, if life gives you lemons, the only thing you can possibly do is make lemonade. At the ripe age of eight, he ran his first business—you guessed it, a lemonade stand. Years later, he worked for his father's cigar business, then eventually became the man and the legend behind the cigars. When he passed away in August of 2006 at the age of 90, a new era was to begin. Sons Bobby and Eric, who had been groomed to take over the J.C. Newman Cigar Company, are now in charge of following their dad's legacy—and that is one hell of a tough act to follow.
