Starting in 1991, Stanford Newman pondered production of a super premium cigar, the Diamond Crown, with Carlos Fuente Sr. In celebration of his J.C. Newman Cigar Company's upcoming 100th Anniversary, Stanford developed an outstanding line of cigars unique in the market. Cost, time and market viability were of no concern. In his mid 70s, Standford wanted to cap off five decades in the cigar business by creating the smoothest, most flavorful cigar possible. Stanford knew that if he wanted to deliver the richest, yet most consistent full-flavored cigar possible, he would have to make the Diamond Crown a thick cigar. The larger ring allows for the blending of 6-7 individual tobacco leaves (an extremely complex blend of tobaccos).
