Newman Cigar Co. begins shipping the reimagined <span class=\"s2\">Diamond Crown MAXIMUS<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"s1\">cigars. The new Diamond Crown MAXIMUS will feature new packaging and a bolder, yet still refined, blend of hearty tobaccos. Diamond Crown MAXIMUS will remain in boxes of 20 cigars and the suggested retail price will not change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">\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<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">The Fuente, Newman and Oliva families have been friends for more than 60 years. These three families represent half of the inaugural 1997 class of Cigar Aficionado\u2019s Cigar Hall of Fame. To create Diamond Crown MAXIMUS, Carlos Fuente Jr. blended this special cigar with Stanford J. Newman using an exclusive El Bajo Sungrown wrapper grown by John Oliva Sr., in Ecuador.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">El Bajo is a pristine valley in Ecuador where a mountain\u2019s natural minerals and nutrients, washed down by centuries of rain, have made the soil exceptionally rich and perfect for growing tobacco.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For more than two decades, Diamond Crown MAXIMUS has been known for its distinctive 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.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>J.C.
