Blend-by-Blend Breakdown
Diamond Crown Classic
Wrapped in Connecticut Fermented Wrapper™, Classic delivers buttery cream and toasted almond with a dash of white pepper. Ideal morning smoke or gateway cigar for novices who still want luxury construction.
Diamond Crown Classic Maduro
The same long-aged Dominican core wrapped in a dark Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro. Expect cocoa, caramel, and a cedar finish—sweet without being cloying. Perfect after dinner with tawny port.
Diamond Crown Julius Caesar
Named for company founder Julius Caesar Newman, this medium-bodied blend uses Ecuador Habano. Flavor swings between milk chocolate, dried fruit and subtle floral spice. If Classic feels too mild and Maximus too bold, Julius hits the middle lane.
Diamond Crown Maximus
The powerhouse of the family. Ecuador El Bajo Sungrown wrapper amps body to full, layering espresso, dark cherry, and chewy black pepper. Best enjoyed after a rich meal—and even better after six months in the humidor.
How to Pick Your First Box
- Know your strength ceiling: * New smoker → Classic or Classic Maduro * Medium fan → Julius Caesar * Full-bodied veteran → Maximus
- Start with a five-pack: Cheaper per stick than singles, but low risk if your palate changes.
- Age wisely: Maximus benefits most from six-month rest; Classics smoke great right away.
Tasting Flight Idea
Buy one robusto of each blend. Smoke from mildest to strongest over a weekend and jot notes—creaminess, spice, sweetness. Your palate will reveal its favorite, making the next box decision a no-brainer.
FAQs
Are all Diamond Crown cigars box-pressed?
No. Only Julius Caesar and Black Diamond (not currently in our inventory) use a soft box press.
Which blend pairs best with espresso?
Maximus. The bold espresso note in the cigar mirrors the drink beautifully.
