Diamond Crown Natural cigars are renowned for their creamy and smooth character while maintaining complexity and flavor, delivering earthy flavors with hints of nutmeg and burnt spices. The cigars feature J.C. Newman's proprietary Connecticut Fermented Wrapper (CFW), which undergoes a five-year aging process and double fermentation. These cigars are classified as mild in strength, making them accessible to both novice and experienced smokers.
Created in 1995 by Stanford J. Newman and Carlos Fuente, Jr. to celebrate J.C. Newman's 100th anniversary, Diamond Crown revolutionized the cigar industry as the first cigar to feature a 54 ring gauge, launching the trend of thicker cigars. Handmade at Tabacalera A. Fuente in the Dominican Republic, each cigar passes through three inspections and is aged in cedar curing rooms for a minimum of twelve months. The blend features a Dominican binder and a selection of five different filler tobaccos from the Caribbean and Central America.
Diamond Crown's exceptional taste comes from its double-fermented wrappers, as nearly all tobacco is fermented only once, but Diamond Crown wrappers undergo a second fermentation that evens and deepens the Rosado color while eliminating potential rawness. The cigars have received a well-deserved 92-rating from Cigar Aficionado, noted for excellent draw and smooth, round characteristics.
