Review

Although the Opus X may be one of the most sought-out cigars in the market, its sister brand, the Diamond Crown, isn't far behind. Originally known for its complex and mild cigars, the Diamond Crown has shifted to making full-bodied smokes in the '90s. After years of perfecting the cigar, the result was the Maximus, a rare line of smokes sold in limited quantities due to the special aging method its tobacco undergoes. The cigar has been crafted by some of the greatest minds in the cigar industry, so expectations are definitely high in this one.

For what it's worth, the Maximus line is exceptionally exquisite starting with the full-bodied aroma of its sun-grown wrappers from El Bajo. Its rich flavor is also attributed to the fact that the wrapper is grown by the Oliva Family, famous for the fine tobaccos they produce. The Dominican filler specially aged for the Maximus gathers the flavors of coffee, earth, and cedar to create a robust and complex taste worth the smoking experience. Therefore, those who demand nothing short of maximum from their smoke will find the Diamond Crown Maximus fit for their royal tastes.

Pass up some middling cigars if you have to, this is worth it. Similar to but smoother than the Ashton VSG. Just make sure you have a real one, as its price and scarcity make it a counterfeit greatest hit.

Arguably the best cigars from the Diamond Crown line, the Churchill No. 2 can do no wrong. Everything that the stogie offers, from its construction down to the flavors, is almost perfect as it will give smokers a unique and fine smoking experience. The tight roll gave a solid ash burn while the coffee and wood tones offered enough body and richness that will satisfy even the most snobbish of smokers. For medium-bodied smokes, the Churchill No. 2 is for you.

I think Churchill himself wouldn't mind these cigars being named after him. If only I believed in perfection, I would say these cigars are perfect. The construction is polished and it burns good with every draw. The smooth and mild taste is just what I needed to end a great day. It is kind of expensive but I don't mind splurging on these.
