Diamond Crown
Number 4, 5.5x54

Review by Willy Kelly (bald1)
March 10, 1998

Price: $10.50

Overall Rating: Did I Like the cigar? Yes

This is supposed to be the Opus X of the West to appease us on the left coast. Although it's made with a beautiful aged Conneticut shade wrap and aged tobacco I would have to say it's no Opus X. This is a Dominican cigar made by Fuente and distributed by Newman available only on the West coast. Expensive but an excellent smoke.
