Description
The Diamond Crown Julius Caeser Pyramid is a 6 1/2 x 52 pyramid built on an Ecuadorian Havana-seed wrapper and a Dominican binder, with filler J.C. Newman calls a mix of Caribbean and Central American tobaccos. Tabacalera A. Fuente makes it as part of the Diamond Crown Julius Caeser line.
What It Tastes Like
This is the size Cigar Aficionado liked best. A June 2011 Cigar Insider tasting gave it 93 points for heavy coffee set against woody sweetness, a touch of spice and a savory close. The magazine then ranked it No. 25 among its Top 25 Cigars of 2011 at 92 points (January 2012 issue, medium-full). A June 2019 re-review scored 90, noting cocoa and caramel sweetness over a coffee-and-wood core.

Diamond Crown Julius Caeser Pyramid FAQ
Is the Julius Caeser Pyramid stronger than the label says?
Possibly. J.C. Newman and JR Cigar list it as medium, while Cigar Aficionado’s 2012 and 2019 reviews called it medium-full.
What are the Julius Caeser Pyramid’s dimensions?
6 1/2 inches by 52 ring gauge, per J.C. Newman, and it is the only pyramid in the line’s size list.
Why is it Julius Caeser and not Julius Caesar?
The Roman emperor’s name is spelled Caesar, but the maker spells the line Caeser. J.C. Newman says an official recorded its founder’s middle name that way when he immigrated in 1888.
Where was the Julius Caeser Pyramid ranked by Cigar Aficionado?
It took the No. 25 spot on the magazine’s Top 25 Cigars of 2011 with a 92-point score.
The pyramid’s Diamond Crown stablemates are gathered on our J.C. Newman Cigar Company brand page.
