We've Been Crowned: Ash Cigar Lounge Becomes New England's Only Diamond Crown Destination

A prestigious honor that elevates your experience to new heights

In the world of premium cigars, certain designations carry weight that transcends mere recognition; they represent a commitment to excellence that spans generations. We're honored, humbled, and beyond excited to announce that Ash Cigar Lounge has officially been named a Diamond Crown Cigar Lounge, making us the only location in all of New England to hold this prestigious title.

Ash Cigar Lounge, Kingston, NH

A Legacy Born from Tradition

The Diamond Crown story begins in 1995, when J.C. Newman Cigar Co., America's oldest family-owned premium cigar maker- celebrated its 100th anniversary by introducing something revolutionary. The Diamond Crown line wasn't just another cigar collection; it was a masterpiece crafted for those who demand the finest in tobacco artistry.

From humble beginnings rolling cigars in Cleveland to becoming a legacy brand still family-run in Tampa, J.C. Newman's journey mirrors our commitment to tradition, craftsmanship, and genuine passion. To honor this legacy, they created an exclusive network of lounges that reflect the same standard of luxury and elevated experience, sanctuaries of sophistication, craftsmanship, and community.

What Makes Diamond Crown Extraordinary

The Diamond Crown Classic exemplifies why this designation matters. Each cigar undergoes a rare second fermentation process, while most tobacco is fermented once, Diamond Crown wrappers are fermented twice, creating that distinctive, deeper Rosado color and remarkably smooth draw. Every cigar is triple-inspected and aged in small lots of just 50 cigars for a minimum of 12 months, ensuring the flawless quality that defines refined indulgence.

This isn't just about process; it's about the artistry that transforms premium tobacco into an unforgettable experience.

Introducing the Exclusive Diamond Crown Julius Caesar

Perhaps most exciting is our exclusive access to the Diamond Crown Julius Caesar, a cigar available only at designated Diamond Crown lounges. Crafted in honor of Julius Caesar Newman, the company's founder, this exceptional smoke commemorates both the company's 115th anniversary and Newman's 135th birthday.

Julius Caeser Diamond Crown Cigar

Handmade in small batches by the legendary Fuente family, each Julius Caesar features a rich Ecuador Havana-seed wrapper embracing a Dominican binder and select Caribbean and Central American fillers. The result? A perfectly balanced experience with notes of coffee, subtle spice, wood, and natural sweetness that earned the Julius Caesar Troublemaker an outstanding 91-point rating from Cigar Insider by Cigar Aficionado.

Rare. Regal. Remarkable. And available only at Ash.
