Diamond Crown Maduro

Diamond Crown Maduro

Diamond Crown Maduro is an ultra premium Dominican cigar created through the historic collaboration between Stanford Newman and Carlos Fuente, built around a rare, double fermented Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper that has been aged for five years. Hand rolled at Tabacalera A. Fuente with an exclusive five tobacco blend from the Caribbean and Central America, it delivers a silky, medium bodied smoke loaded with chocolate, cream, and roasted nut complexity that feels tailor made for milestone moments and serious relaxation.

Key benefits and features

• Double fermented Broadleaf wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro undergoes two full fermentation cycles and five years of aging to remove raw edges and develop deep chocolate sweetness and velvety texture.
• Five tobacco core blend: A sophisticated mix of aged tobaccos from prime Caribbean and Central American regions provides balance, nuance, and a long, satisfying finish.
• Fuente factory craftsmanship: Rolled at Tabacalera A. Fuente in the Dominican Republic, each cigar passes through triple inspection for construction that borders on flawless.
• Extended post roll aging: Every Diamond Crown Maduro rests a minimum of 12 months in cedar after rolling, allowing flavors to marry and the profile to smooth out further.
• Mild to medium body with rich flavor: Creamy texture and approachable strength wrapped around dense flavors of cocoa, espresso, vanilla, and roasted almonds.
• Elegant 15 count boxes: Presented in luxurious purple and gold 15 count boxes that match the cigar’s upscale intent and gift worthy presentation.

Detailed description

Stanford Newman’s goal with Diamond Crown was simple and relentless, create the best cigar in the world without regard to time or cost. To make the Maduro version worthy of that vision, he turned again to the Fuente family and to Connecticut Broadleaf, a wrapper leaf known for its natural sweetness and resilience. In Diamond Crown Maduro, that Broadleaf is treated like royalty, double fermented and aged for five full years before it ever touches a bunch, a process that deepens color, builds flavor, and strips away any harshness that might otherwise show up in a less patient Maduro.

Once ready, those dark, oily Broadleaf wrappers are married to an exclusive five tobacco blend drawn from carefully selected Caribbean and Central American origins, cradled by a Dominican binder that supports a slow, even burn. The smoke opens with waves of milk chocolate and cocoa powder, quickly joined by sweet cream and vanilla that coat the palate in a soft, luxurious layer. As the cigar moves through the middle third, roasted almonds, oak, and aged leather enter the picture, with a subtle citrus lift that keeps the profile lively rather than heavy. The strength stays in the mild to medium window, but the flavor depth belongs in far more muscular company, which is part of this cigar’s charm.

Construction is characteristically Fuente, firm in the hand with an easy draw, razor sharp burn line, and solid white ash that contrasts beautifully with the dark Maduro wrapper. Whether you reach for the compact Robusto #5 for a focused 45 minute session or the Pyramid #7 for a drawn out celebration, the profile remains consistent and composed, never rushing, never collapsing into harshness at the end. This is the kind of Maduro that reminds you how far patience and obsessive quality control can take a blend, an ultra premium cigar you reach for when the occasion calls for more than “just another smoke.”

What makes Diamond Crown Maduro’s wrapper special?

The Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper is double fermented and aged for five years, a rare level of patience that strips away rough edges and concentrates natural chocolate sweetness, depth, and velvety mouthfeel.

How does Diamond Crown Maduro differ from Diamond Crown Classic?

Both share a similar ultra premium core, but the Maduro’s dark Broadleaf wrapper adds richer chocolate and espresso notes, while the Classic’s Connecticut Shade wrapper delivers a creamier, nuttier, lighter profile.

Why are Diamond Crown cigars considered ultra premium?

They combine aged wrappers, complex multi region filler blends, triple inspection, extended cedar aging, and production at Tabacalera A. Fuente, with no shortcuts taken in materials or time, which is rare even among high end cigars.

Which size is best to try first?

The Robusto #4 (5½ x 54) offers about an hour of smoking time with a full tour of the blend’s evolution, while the Robusto #5 (4½ x 54) delivers a more compact, 45 minute introduction to the same flavor architecture.

What flavors can I expect?

Look for opening notes of milk chocolate and cocoa, followed by roasted almonds, sweet cream, vanilla, oak, aged leather, and a faint citrus edge that brightens the finish without overwhelming the Maduro richness.

How should I store Diamond Crown Maduro?

Maintain 68 to 70 percent humidity and around 70 degrees Fahrenheit in a stable humidor so the aged Broadleaf wrapper keeps its natural oils, avoids cracking, and continues to smoke cool and smooth.

When is the best time to enjoy this cigar?

Its refined profile and ultra premium positioning make it ideal for celebrations, promotions, anniversaries, or any evening when you want a slow, contemplative cigar that feels special from the first cut to the final ash.

What drink pairings work well?

Aged cognac, single malt scotch, vintage port, top tier bourbon, or rich espresso all complement the cigar’s chocolate, cream, and oak notes, turning the session into a layered, dessert like experience.
