Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The Diamond Crown Maximus Churchill No. 2 opens with a commanding medium-to-full-bodied profile, delivering an immediate surge of dark chocolate, espresso crema, and rich cedar, supported by a subtle black cherry sweetness that adds sophistication to its bold character. The retrohale intensifies the opening with black pepper, baking spice, and a touch of dried fig, creating both warmth and complexity. As the cigar transitions into the second third, notes of leather, roasted walnut, and molasses emerge, complemented by a silky cocoa creaminess that tempers the spice. The final third crescendos with concentrated coffee bean, charred oak, and bittersweet cacao, finishing with a lingering balance of sweetness and earthy spice.
