J.C. Newman Cigar Co. says it is shipping the first 2026 release of Diamond Crown Black Diamond this week.
Black Diamond is part of the Diamond Crown line and was first introduced in 2016 before being updated in 2022 with a revised blend. The cigar uses a Connecticut Havana seed sun-grown wrapper over Dominican binder and filler tobaccos that have been aged for five years.
According to the company, Black Diamond is made in small batches and produced in limited quantities due to its quality-control 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 2026 shipment marks the first release of Diamond Crown Black Diamond cigars for the year.
