In 1991, Stanford Newman first discussed his idea about making a Super Premium cigar, the DIAMOND CROWN, with Carlos Fuente Sr. In celebration of his J.C. Newman Cigar Company's upcoming 100th Anniversary, Stanford wanted to develop a truly exceptional series of cigars unlike any other on the market. He didn't care what it would cost, how much time it took, or even if it would sell. Stanford was in his mid 70s and he wanted to culminate his 50+ years in the cigar business by creating the smoothest, most flavorful, full-bodied cigar possible. One of the factors that makes the taste of DIAMOND CROWN cigars so special is its exclusive Connecticut Fermented Wrapper (CFW). Unlike most other quality tobacco wrappers that are normally hung in barns, dried, and bulked for a single fermentation prior to being packed in bales and eventually rolled into cigars, DIAMOND CROWN'S CFW wrapper goes through a second fermentation. Specially fermented five year old wrapper leaves are unpacked from the bale and then conditioned and graded. The silkiest, smoothest leaves are then selected and placed in bulks for a second fermentation. It is this "second curing " that evens and develops the rosado color of the tobacco wrapper and also accounts for much of DIAMOND CROWN'S sweet, smooth, rich flavor |

The Diamond Crown is a sister cigar to the famed Opus X and has become a standard in quality mild cigars with complex flavors, but as the market moved more toward full-bodied in the late 90’s, Newman wanted to create a cigar as good as the Diamond Crown but with a full body and took several years perfecting the blend. The end result was the Diamond Crown Maximus. Similar to Fuente's Opus X Cigars, Maximus’s specially aged Dominican filler is blended by Carlito Fuente and combined with a rare Sungrown Ecuadorian tobacco wrapper watchfully grown in the El Bajo region of Ecuador by the Oliva Family, who are well known for producing the finest tobacco in the world. The blend gives the Maximus full-bodied yet smooth flavors of earth, coffee bean, and a well-balanced undertone of cedar spice. The cigar is made in limited numbers due to the extra special aging the tobacco undergoes and is only made available to a limited number of suppliers around the world. The Diamond Crown Maximus is a truly legendary cigar, but not just in the context of the cigar itself, but also in the legendary minds and hands that came together to create it: the Newmans, the Fuentes and the Olivas. |
