Review Notes: I just smoked one right after smoking a cuban Cohiba. I loved the Cohiba but I am infatuated with the Diamond Crown. The complexity of the smoke and the wrapper taste are incredible. I truly wanted to compare it with a top-notch cuban to see what I thought of it and it shined above what our communist friends produce. Wow. I have not found another cigar on the planet that has it. I am not sure what it is, but even the lifting of the embargo won't keep this one from being in high demand. The aroma of the smoke is worth the cost of the cigar itself. Even though the wrapper is harvested by the Oliva family farms, whatever the Fuente/Newman family does with it, brings it well beyond the same wrapper on an Oliva. I generally don't smoke such a large cigar, but with this one you keep wanting more. Just writing the review gets me craving another. Well, gotta go....

Review Notes: I have not had a better cigar to date. This beats them all for me. Incredibly smooth yet has power and flavor. Perfect wrapper. Beautiful smoke. A perfect 10 with the exception of the cost. Even then, it is well worth it.
