Detailed description

Diamond Crown Natural was created to showcase J.C. Newman’s vision of refined cigar making, built on a partnership with the Fuente family that leverages Tabacalera A. Fuente’s deep bench of rollers and aged tobaccos.[page:1] The star of the blend is the double fermented Connecticut Shade wrapper, a golden brown leaf that undergoes extended fermentation to heighten silkiness, erase harshness, and ensure a smooth, even burn line from start to finish.[page:1] Beneath that wrapper, both binder and filler are composed exclusively of aged Dominican Olor, a varietal prized for mild body, clean burn, and quietly complex flavor.[page:1]

In the smoke, Diamond Crown Natural presents an immediate wave of cream and cashew, followed by vanilla and almond that ride on top of a gentle oak and leather base.[page:1] As the cigar progresses, nutmeg, baking spice, and light citrus notes emerge, adding lift and keeping the profile from feeling flat.[page:1] The strength remains in the mild to medium zone, but the flavor density gives the impression of more body without ever tiring the palate.[page:1] The extended cedar aging and meticulous triple inspection shine through in the way each cigar draws effortlessly, burns straight, and maintains its composure all the way to the band.[page:1]

What makes Diamond Crown Natural different from the Maduro?

Diamond Crown Natural uses a golden Connecticut Shade wrapper for a creamy, mild to medium profile, while the Maduro uses dark Broadleaf for richer chocolate and espresso notes, both over the same Dominican Olor core.[page:1]

Every cigar is rolled at Tabacalera A. Fuente, double fermented, cedar aged for at least 12 months, and triple inspected, which protects the blend’s smoothness, combustion, and subtle flavor balance.[page:1]

Which sizes are most popular?

The No. 3 (6½ x 54) and No. 4 (5½ x 54) are favorites for their balance of smoke time and flavor evolution, while the long No. 1 is a classic choice for extended, cool smoking sessions.[page:1]

What flavor notes should I expect?

How should I store Diamond Crown Natural?

Keep them at 65–70 percent humidity and 68–72 degrees Fahrenheit, ideally away from stronger or infused cigars so the delicate Connecticut and Dominican Olor nuances stay clean.[page:1]

What drink pairings work best?

Champagne, light rum, creamy coffee drinks, or buttery chardonnay all pair nicely with the cigar’s creamy, gently sweet profile, enhancing its subtleties rather than overpowering them.[page:1]

Is this a good choice for beginners?
