ATLANTA — NFL quarterback and Atlanta native Cam Newton will launch his cigar bar "Fellaship" in the historic Castleberry Hill district this weekend.

The 4,600-square-foot space shall double as a restaurant and cigar lounge; and according to Cigar Aficonado magazine, the well-stocked humidor will include top-shelf cigar brands like Ashton, Camacho and Cohiba.
