“It was 1895 when Hungarian émigré Julius C. Newman founded a cigar company in his family’s barn in Cleveland. Today his grandsons Eric and Bobby run what he began, making J.C. Newman one of the oldest cigar companies around.” so there you go, that’s why Caeser is spelt the way it is on this stick, it is the named after the companies founder not the ancient Roman. 

This stick was made to celebrate the 115th anniversary of the Diamond Crown company it’s been rated well into the 90’s in reviews all over the world and has made many top 25 lists.  

Let’s see how it’s made up.

Construction & Burn

Flawless construction and an outstanding burn. Wrapper is nice and dark with a slight oily feel, nice and smooth with no storks.

Flavour & Complexity

DAMN. Coffee for days. Coffee is by far the most dominant flavour in this cigars, but it is complemented perfectly with a mix of wood, nuts and earthiness. The complexity is fantastic, with seemingly more depth with every draw.  

Strength

Mid-full in the strength dpt with a nice little kick up in the final 3rd.

Overall

Wow. Now I’ve had one or two of these before and always been very impressed, but to sit down and actually review it, taking notes and comparing to other cigars I have reviewed etc you start to see just how good it really is. I give this cigar 94 points. Yip, 94. Well worth the purchase.  Get your hands on some here
