Diamond Crown (cigar brand)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diamond Crown is a super premium brand of hand-made cigar handmade by Tabacalera A. Fuente in the Dominican Republic for the J.C. Newman Cigar Company.
J.C. Newman originally made this cigar with Cuban tobacco in Cleveland, Ohio and then Tampa, Florida in the 1940s, 1950's and 1960's.
In 1995, the super premium Diamond Crown brand was re-launched by the Newman family to commemorate their family company's 100th anniversary and century of cigar making[1].
