I tried my first Diamond Crown Maximus, thanks to eleltea ... it was the Robusto no. 5 ...
I was going to try to let it rest awhile, but I just couldn't stop thinking about it. Everytime I passed by my humidor ... it keep beckoning to me ...
It was an excellent cigar, and a pleasure to smoke! A real taste treat, very complex and full of flavor.
What I noticed from the first puff ... is how much it reminded me of an 858SG, but a bit more powerful in it's punch. Thick smoke, an easy draw, and perfect construction ... and every puff delivered more of it's wonderful flavor.
It just kept getting better and better ... all the way to the end, and it left me with a great taste on my palate, one that lasted well into the afternoon.
Well worth the high $$$, IMHO, and I will be smoking more of these, if I can find them ... LOL!
Definately 'top-shelf' ...
