Nat Sherman: New York's Premier Tobacco Legacy
Nat Sherman opened his tobacco shop in New York City in 1930, at the height of the Art Deco era, on 42nd Street near Times Square. His shop attracted Manhattan's most influential figures — from business titans to Broadway celebrities — and became synonymous with a certain Old World conception of tobacco: premium, refined, meant to be savored slowly in fine company. The Sherman family operated the business for decades, and the Nat Sherman name became one of the most recognized in American premium tobacco.
In the 1990s, the brand began producing premium handmade cigars under the Nat Sherman label, sourcing Dominican and Honduran tobaccos to create blends that reflected the shop's elegant, unhurried sensibility. The brand was eventually acquired by Altadis USA, which expanded the portfolio while maintaining the core character of mild-to-medium sophistication that Nat Sherman's loyal following had always prized. Today, Nat Sherman is one of the few remaining legacy American tobacconist brands with a living cigar line.
Nat Sherman Cigar Lines
Nat Sherman Metropolitan Selection
The Metropolitan Selection is Nat Sherman's most refined expression — a Dominican puro under Connecticut shade wrapper that produces a mild, creamy smoke with flavors of cedar, almond, cream, and a gentle tobacco sweetness. Named for the urban sophistication of New York City, the Metropolitan is an ideal cigar for those who want premium craftsmanship in a lighter-bodied format. The draw is effortless, the burn is even, and the blend has the kind of restrained elegance that defines the Nat Sherman brand.
Nat Sherman Timeless Collection
The Timeless Collection represents Nat Sherman's medium-body offering — Dominican tobaccos paired with an Ecuadorian wrapper that adds leather, dark honey, and toasted nuts to the profile. More complex than the Metropolitan without crossing into full-body territory, the Timeless is the go-to for Nat Sherman smokers who want increased depth while staying in the brand's elegant lane. Available in classic vitola sizes that suit the cigar's traditional character.
Nat Sherman Host Selection
The Host Selection blends Honduran and Dominican filler tobaccos with an Ecuadorian wrapper, producing a smooth, medium-bodied smoke with cedar, cream, and gentle pepper. Originally developed as a cigar worthy of serving guests — hence 'Host' — it sits comfortably between the mild Metropolitan and the more complex Timeless, offering broad appeal for a range of preferences. The Host is one of Nat Sherman's most consistently praised lines for value and approachability.
Nat Sherman Nicaraguan Selection
The Nicaraguan Selection represents Nat Sherman's bolder side — a Nicaraguan puro under a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper that delivers medium-to-full body with leather, earth, dark fruit, and characteristic Nicaraguan spice. For smokers who love the Sherman name but want more intensity than the Dominican blends provide, the Nicaraguan Selection is the answer. It bridges the gap between Nat Sherman's traditional elegance and the fuller-bodied style popular with contemporary cigar enthusiasts.
Nat Sherman 1930
The 1930 commemorates the founding year of Nat Sherman's iconic New York shop with a Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper over Dominican filler. Medium-to-full in body, it offers dark chocolate, dried fruit, and cedar in a tribute to the shop's Art Deco origins. The maduro wrapper's natural sweetness balances the Dominican core's earthiness, creating a well-rounded, satisfying smoke that carries the weight of the brand's heritage.
