The Diamond Crown Maximus cigars are the culmination of three of the cigar world's most successful tobacco families combined to boost the power of the Diamond Crown brand. The Newman family owns the brand, the Fuente family makes it, and the Oliva family grows its signature component, the Ecuadoran wrapper that is credited with contributing much of its power. The wrappers on the Maximus come from the Bajo region of Oliva Tobacco Co.'s Ecuador farm, which sits at the foot of a valley near the River Macul. This soil is especially rich in minerals and nutrients washed down from the nearby hills. The wrapper is dark but is not a maduro -- the leaf is culled from the top of the tobacco plants, leaves known as the corona. This wrapper accounts for much of the cigar's full flavor.
