I recently explored the origins and reviews of the Diamond Crown Julius Caeser cigar. Originating from the Dominican Republic, this cigar, named after J.C. Newman, the founder of J.C. Newman Cigar Company, was introduced in 2010 to commemorate the company’s 115th anniversary and Newman’s 135th birthday. Intrigued by its unique blend of tobaccos from Central America and the Caribbean, rolled in the Tabacalera Arturo Fuente Factory, I delved into various reviews to understand its appeal.
My research led me to discover that reviewers generally hold the Diamond Crown Julius Caesar in high regard for its flavor and complexity. Initially, I learned that the cigar offers a woody taste which soon transitions to a sweetness similar to sugar cane and honey, eventually taking on a citrus/lemon-like sweetness. As the cigar progresses, the blend brings forth coffee, cream, and pepper notes. In the final third, flavors of almond, coffee, pepper, and citrus sweetness dominate. Both novice and experienced cigar enthusiasts seem to appreciate its medium strength and body, though it’s recommended to smoke it slowly to fully appreciate its intricacies.
Another aspect that caught my attention was the varied experiences of individual reviewers. One review highlighted the cigar’s well-blended flavors, giving an oily and delicious sensation in the mouth, despite a slightly tight draw. The Diamond Crown Julius Caesar Toro was rated 4 out of 5, noted for its high price but recommended for true cigar enthusiasts.
In summary, my investigation into the Diamond Crown Julius Caeser revealed a well-regarded, medium-strength cigar with a rich flavor profile and a storied history. While it’s priced on the higher end, it seems to be celebrated by aficionados for its quality and complexity.
