The Diamond Crown Julius Caeser was created in honor of the founder of the J.C. Newman Cigar Company. That would be Julius Caeser "J.C." Newman. It features an Ecuadorian sungrown wrapper, with a blend of Dominican tobaccos. Four sizes are available: Pyramide, Churchill, Robusto, and the Toro (which I smoked for the review).
The wrapper is oily, slightly toothy, and has minimal veins. It has a well formed cap, and feels firm. The pre-light draw offers up only a taste of clean tobacco leaves. The first third of the Julius Caeser is at best medium, more on the lighter side of medium. It has a good balance of flavor, composed of bread, honey and cinnamon.
The burn is fairly spot on, giving an ash that is white to a very light gray, which holds fairly tight. The second third of the cigar threw me for a loop. This was the first time I had tasted this flavor. Mixed within some light cedar and cinnamon was black cherry. It reminded me of this jello my mom makes every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas (Black Cherry jell-o made with redhots and applesauce).
The final third of the cigar had a complex flavor, but still lighter in strength. It was composed of bread and cedar, mixed with a little cinnamon and nutmeg, along with the same note of black cherry that I got in the second third.
The burn kept straight, the ash was very light and held strong, and lasted about an hour and forty-five minutes. I was very impressed with this cigar, and although it is a lighter cigar, I will definitely smoke this one again.
