Diamond Crown Cigars

Behind Diamond Crown are luxury cigars from J.C. Newman.

Julius Newman was born in Hungary in 1875 and emigrated with his family in 1888. A middle name was required for the entry papers. Confused, he turned to the immigration officer, who suggested Caesar. Julius Newman liked the idea of ​​being named after a great historical leader and conqueror. The American citizen Julius Caesar Newman was born.

 

His brothers became tailors, but Julius Caesar wanted to make cigars. So his mother paid an experienced cigar maker $3 a month to train her son.

J.C. Newman founded his company in May 1895.

 

One of the first brands was Diamond Crown. It was relaunched in 1995 to celebrate the 100th anniversary.

Diamond Crown Maximus followed in 2002.

 

In 2010, on the 135th birthday of Julius Caesar Newman and the 115th anniversary of the company, Diamond Crown Julius Caesar was released. The cigars are made by hand in small quantities in the Dominican Tabacalera A. Fuente.
