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.

02:36 (EST)Never heard of this brand, but it's made by Fuente so I thought I'd give it a try. Glad I did – looks good, tastes better (mild to medium) and overall feels like a more expensive cigar than it is. Will be buying more.

09:36 (EST)The Diamond won't convert full-bodied cigar enthusiasts to mild smokes, but the Figurado No. 6 will satisfy those with a fancy for smooth cigars. Then nutty profile is understatedly flavorful but creamy enough to give you a fine mild experience. As with this type of smokes, the bland taste could easily turn off those expecting more flavor from the cigar. However, focusing on the strengths and positives of the Figurado No. 6, this is a must-try for its smoking kind.

07:56 (EST)On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd say the flavor is about 7. It's really good but it's not something I haven't tasted before. I enjoyed the nutty flavor with a hint of spice to it and the burn was great. It was well put together and it didn't give me any problems to the last draw. I wouldn't mind getting some more.

06:55 (EST)As hyped as most Cuban cigar, the Figurado No. 6 delivers its promise of a great mild-bodied smoke. From the beautiful wrapper to its barrage of toasty and nutty taste with hints of spice, the stogie is heaven sent down to the nub. The only gripe that people have with the stick is the mildness and the lack of flavor. However, unless you're a hulking cigar enthusiast with a passion for strong-bodied smokes and spite for mild sticks, the Figurado No. 6 crowns you with a great smoking experience.

10:47 (EST)Unusually good, the Figurado No. 6 is one of the few mild-bodied cigars that can actually satisfy a mature smoker's taste buds. The faint flavors of nuts, toasts, and spices linger in your mouth without letting up. The uninterrupted smoke, thanks to the steady draw and even burn, helps the case of the cigar. From a superficial level, the stick looks attractive and solid for the smoke, which is pretty much what cigar enthusiasts really want. Not as good to become the best, but the Figurado No. 6 is pretty sweet for what it's worth.
