Diamond Crown Maximus is an extremely rare and ultra-premium cigar from the JC Newman cigar company. Released some ten years after the original Diamond Crown line, Maximus is a fuller, richer offering in the luxurious JC Newman lineup, made in the Dominican Republic using Dominican fillers and binders. They are then finished with a rich El Bajo sun grown wrapper leaf from the Oliva Farms in Ecuador, making this a very special cigar.

These dark reddish brown cigars flaunt nearly flawless construction and consistently provide an easy draw with obscene amounts of thick, blue smoke. From the first puff they are rich and flavorful, coating the lips with abundant spice and giving off a strong raw tobacco taste. There are hints of coffee and chocolate, with rich earthy flavors throughout and a spicy-sweet finish. They are the taste of luxury.

Diamond Crown Maximus is a special occasion cigar that pairs well with red wine or bourbon. They are for expert palates only—novices need not apply. They mellow considerably when aged and compare in flavor to Ashton VSG and Oliva Serie V. Undeniably complex and indescribably smooth and balanced, they are considered to be some of the finest cigars money can buy.
