Diamond Crown is a line of cigars that is part of the wold famous J.C. Newman family of brands.

I have three passions in life. The first is obvious with my love of cigars, but outside of that I enjoy hockey and the weather. In fact, back in the day I wanted to be a meteorologist. Living in New Hampshire, I have learned that New England weather is the definition of bi-polar. With the temperatures of 70 degrees yesterday and today, this weekend is bringing an arctic blast with some snow and high winds. […]
Sometimes trying to figure out what to review can be a difficult decision. However, today the review was easy to come by when my friend Scott Rozycki reached out to me with a request to enjoy a Diamond Crown today on my birthday since he won’t be able to partake in his go to brand.
