Julius Caeser Newman was 13 years old in 1888 when he sailed from Austria-Hungary to Baltimore in pursuit of the American dream. With vision, hope and a $50 loan, he built a hand-rolled cigar business that survived the Panic of 1893, the Great Depression, two world wars, the Cuban trade embargo and import competition from lower-cost countries. Today his company, now the oldest family-owned premium cigar maker in America, faces the biggest threat of its existence: a regulatory onslaught by the Food and Drug Administration.
