In 1991, Stanford Newman assisted by Carlos Fuente, Sr. began pondering over a plan to create a superb tasting cigar, known as the Diamond Crown.  This cigar was designed to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the J.C. Newman Cigar Company. Time, cost and marketing expenses were of no limit, due to the high expectation for this unique smoke. Newman decided to make a cigar that would far exceed any of his smokes from the last 5 decades. Since he was in his mid 70’s, he decided to deliver the most opulent and consistent full flavor cigar on the market.  Yes, the diamond Crown cigar is very thick and is made to incorporate the blend of 6 to 7 tobaccos that are extremely complex. This is what makes it one of the most exquisite smokes sold.
