This is the first release of these special cigars for 2026.
This week, we will ship this year’s first release of Diamond Crown Black Diamond cigars.

Diamond Crown Black Diamond Cigars are the pinnacle of J.C. Newman’s Diamond Crown luxury cigar brand. Originally introduced in 2016, these cigars were reimagined in 2022 with a strengthened and refined blend. Featuring a Connecticut Havana seed sun-grown wrapper with a blend of five-year-aged Dominican binder and filler tobaccos, this small-batch cigar is held to the highest of quality standards.
“My grandfather, Stanford J. Newman, told me that his father, J.C. Newman, taught him that we should aim to do something better every day,” said Drew Newman, fourth-generation owner. “Although our Diamond Crown Black Diamond cigars have been savored by cigar enthusiasts around the world for six years, I was not satisfied and wanted to make them better.”
The Diamond Crown Black Diamond is a small batch epicurean cigar and is limited in production because it is held to the highest standard of quality control.
