Newman introduced their new blend Diamond Crown Black Diamond at the Tao Asian Bistro in Las Vegas on Monday, July 25, 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFour years ago the original idea was to create a spot light for the Diamond Crown Classic series Maduro,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/j-c-newman-cigar-co-americas-oldest-cigar-family\/\">J.C. Newman President, Eric Newman<\/a>. \u201cWe even tested it out at the IPCPR show and in the 2013 Toast Across America pack and received rave reviews &#8211; but we still weren\u2019t satisfied. We believed that the Diamond Crown Black Diamond cigar deserved something new and different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Newmans worked closely with Carlos Fuente, Sr. who recently passed away, and his son Carlos Fuente, Jr. on developing a new blend. Five year old aged filler tobaccos, exclusively grown for the line on a special four-acre section on the Fuente farm in the Dominican Republic alongside a Dominican binder and Connecticut Havana seed sun-grown wrapper now make up the blend of Diamond Crown Black Diamond. The cigars are rolled at Tabacalera A. Fuente in the Dominican Republic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter finalizing the blend we knew we needed exceptional packaging,\u201d said Bobby Newman, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. \u201cBlack Diamond is a unique and contemporary complement to the Diamond Crown line and the branding needed to reflect that. We decided on a black lacquered humidor box protected by a satin lined felt bag adorned with the J.C. Newman crest. The sleek design stays true to Diamond Crown\u2019s sophisticated reputation but with a slight edge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Black Diamond is limited in production and will only be available boxes of 20 cigars in Diamond Crown Cigar Lounges later this year in the U.S.A.<\/p>\n<h3>Diamond Crown Black Diamond<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Factory:<\/strong> Tabacalera A.
