Cigars by Diamond Crown include:
When two famous cigar makers put their heads together and pool their accumulated expertise, you know that cigar aficionados are going to be the winners of these cigars. This is what happened back in 1995 when Stanford J. Newman and Carlos Fuente, Jr. got together to create the very first Diamond Crown, a heroic 54 ring at a time when the largest available ring in the world was a 52.
This wasn’t just a matter of wretched excess and exhibitionism. Newman and Fuente blended six or seven different tobaccos for the filler. Nothing smaller than a 54 ring could contain the bounty offered by Dominican tobaccos aged two to five years, nothing less than a twice-fermented five-year-old Connecticut Shadeleaf could complement them so well—unless it was a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro, so Newman and Fuente created that version as well.
Complex construction of this level contributes to a similarly complex flavor. Fuente and Newman set out to offer the supreme experience to well-seasoned smokers of premium cigars. They succeeded. The Diamond Crown is a supremely mild and smooth premium cigar.
Their success exceeded even their own expectations, but Newman and Fuente aren’t the type of people to rest on their laurels. A decade later, they once again teamed up to launch the Diamond Crown Maximus, a fuller-bodied version of the original. In this iteration, an El Baja Ecuadorian wrapper was used to encase the complex blend of Dominican filler tobaccos.
The Diamond Crown line cigars are heroic in proportion, premium of quality, worthy of being offered on the most celebratory of occasions when only the best will do.
