Diamond Crown maximus

Don Fernando · 10-15-2008, 01:32 PM

This Diamond Crown maximus 2 I got from a friend who brought it with him from the States, as Diamond Crown isn’t for sale in The Netherlands. The aroma is deep and heavy while the cigar looks good with its oily wrapper. And the band, damn, it can compete with the Opus X band, colorful with loads of details. This may be one of the better looking cigars I’ve ever seen. The predraw is light and releases some sweetness.

The cigar stars off with leather and soon some citrus which progresses to a wood flavor approximately an inch from the top. Halfway I can taste coffee and later on some chocolate.

The smoke is quite thick, the ash white and firm. The draw is fine, and I had no problems with the burn.

Would I buy this cigar again? Yes.

Folks typically either really like or not like these smokes. I love the DCM 4 - Mikey C gave me a Torp last weekend that I will probably light up this weekend. Looking forward to trying it. Thanks for the review.

I just smoked a big torp this past weekend and I thought it was an excellent cigar. Strong taste with a hint of spice. Very complex. I kept having to recut the end as it kept tarring up. I wouldn't mind having this cigar around all the time.

I personally think these cigars are great. They are a powerhouse, but I have never been let down by one. As with most Fuente made cigars, construction is top notch. However, the DCM seems to be the most consistent as far as taste is concerned of pretty much any Fuente made cigar I've had.

The new Double Belicoso size, #10 I believe, is amazing. Full bodied, but alternating spice and sweet from the sun grown wrapper through and through. I'd buy tons of them if they weren't $15+ a stick.
