Diamond Crown Cigars For Sale — Maximus, Churchill & More

Diamond Crown cigars are among the most opulent and sought-after smokes in the premium cigar world. Handcrafted at the General Cigar Company's HATSA factory in Honduras using meticulously aged tobaccos, Diamond Crown is defined by an unwavering commitment to luxury — slow-aged leaves, limited production, and a refined smoking experience that rewards patience. At Sun of a Gun Cigars, we carry a curated selection of Diamond Crown lines for aficionados who want the very best.

The Diamond Crown Story

Diamond Crown was founded by Jules Davidoff (nephew of the legendary Zino Davidoff) with a singular mission: create the most refined cigar experience possible. Launched in 1994 in partnership with General Cigar, Diamond Crown sourced only the finest aged Connecticut Shade wrappers and long-aged Honduran and Dominican fillers. The result was a cigar that stood apart — cool-burning, silky, and complex in a way that demanded contemplation rather than hurry. Over three decades, Diamond Crown has expanded into several distinct lines while maintaining its elite reputation among collectors and connoisseurs.

Diamond Crown Maximus

The Diamond Crown Maximus is the pinnacle of the line — a limited-production cigar featuring an aged Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper over a blend of long-aged Honduran and Dominican tobaccos. The Maximus delivers a rich, full-bodied experience with notes of dark espresso, cocoa, and leather. The slow-burning construction and silky draw make it ideal for long, unhurried evenings. Available in a handful of vitolas, including the grand Maximus No. 5 (6 × 60) and No. 6 (7 × 54).

Diamond Crown Double Corona

The Diamond Crown Double Corona is one of the most recognized formats in the line — a 7½ × 54 behemoth wrapped in an aged Connecticut Shade. It delivers a two-hour-plus smoking experience of unrivaled consistency, with notes of cream, cedar, toasted almond, and a subtle white pepper finish. This is a cigar for special occasions — when time is no object and the goal is pure pleasure.

Diamond Crown Churchill

The Churchill format has long been synonymous with Diamond Crown's character. The 7½ × 50 Churchill showcases the brand's Connecticut Shade wrapper at its most elegant — a light golden colorado claro that draws effortlessly and burns with remarkable evenness. Medium-bodied, with creamy cashew, dried hay, and soft cedar notes, the Diamond Crown Churchill is a classic choice for the smoker who appreciates refinement over power.

Diamond Crown Figurado

The Figurado format — tapered at the head — is Diamond Crown's nod to the cigar artisan's craft. The pointed perfecto shape concentrates the blend's flavor profile through the burn, creating a dynamic smoke that shifts from milder cream and cedar in the foot to richer, more complex leather and spice at the fully open draw. A true showpiece cigar that rewards the connoisseur who understands what a great figurado can offer.

Diamond Crown Cabinet Selection

The Cabinet Selection was created for those who want the Diamond Crown experience in a shorter, more accessible format. Available in a 5 × 50 robusto, the Cabinet Selection maintains all the hallmarks of the full line — aged tobaccos, Connecticut Shade wrapper, impeccable construction — in a one-hour smoke. It's an ideal entry point into the Diamond Crown world and an excellent choice for an after-lunch cigar.
