In celebration of J.C. Newman Cigar Company’s 100th Anniversary in 1995, Stanford Newman joined Carlos Fuente, Sr., to develop an exceptional series of Super Premium cigars. Stanford dreamed of making the best cigar in the world with no regard for how long it would take or how much it would cost, his dream was realized in the Diamond Crown cigar. For its 110th Anniversary, the Diamond Crown Maximus was introduced as a complementary cigar to the milder, smoother Diamond Crown Classic. They followed the same path, creating an exceptional cigar regardless of cost, made by their partners at Tabacalera A. Fuente, and blended by Carlos Fuente. It features a full flavored profile that was expertly constructed and is remarkably smooth.
The Diamond Crown Maximus is a testament to the partnership of the Newman and Fuente families. They worked closely to develop this blend and ensure it was worthy of the name of the Diamond Crown name. The Fuentes wasted no time in selecting some exceptional tobaccos for the blend. They begin with 5 year aged Dominican filler and binder tobaccos grown by Fuente exclusively for this cigar. The wrapper is nothing short of spectacular. It is an Ecuadorian El Bajo Sun Grown leaf that is dark, oily, and extremely flavorful. Tasting notes of earth, cream, and pepper are present along with hints of baking spices, vanilla, and a slightly raisin sweetness. The Diamond Crown Maximus is a wonderful, easy-smoking cigar that is exploding with flavor. Thanks to its superb age and construction, they smoke incredibly well too!
