J.C. Newman Cigar Co. unveiled new Diamond Crown MAXIMUS cigars at the Premium Cigar Association trade show this past weekend (April 18-20, 2026) in New Orleans. The new Diamond Crown MAXIMUS will feature new packaging. Diamond Crown MAXIMUS will remain in boxes of 20 cigars, and the suggested retail price will not change. The new MAXIMUS is expected to ship in June.<\/p>\n
\u201cDiamond Crown MAXIMUS is the final cigar that my grandfather, Stanford J. Newman created,\u201d said fourth-generation owner Drew Newman. \u201cMAXIMUS is a collaboration between the three remaining cigar families in the \u2018Cigar City\u2019 of Tampa, Florida: Arturo Fuente, J.C. Newman and John Oliva. They came together in 2002 to create MAXIMUS to celebrate J.C. Newman\u2019s 105th anniversary.\u201d<\/p>\n
To create Diamond Crown MAXIMUS, Carlos Fuente Jr. blended this cigar with Stanford J. Newman using an exclusive El Bajo Sungrown wrapper grown by John Oliva Sr., in Ecuador.<\/p>\n
For more than two decades, Diamond Crown MAXIMUS has been known for its box design. In 2002, Drew Newman created the unique royal blue \u201cM\u201d box with shoulders and feet. A decade ago, J.C. Newman removed the \u201cM\u201d and deepened the box\u2019s color. Diamond Crown MAXIMUS will now be presented in a handmade box that stands on columns and has capitals on the lid and top and bottom of the column feet.<\/p>\n
This is the second of four new products that J.C. Newman will be introducing at the PCA trade show this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
