Julius Caesar
Made by: Diamond Crown
Country: Dominican Republic
Vitola: 6 by 52

The last time I visited this cigar was at the start of February, I don’t expect many differences but lets see what happens. The previous score this cigar received from me was an 84. I would like to see it perform better but the only way to see if that’s going to happen is to get this Diamond Crown Julius Caesar Review 2 going.

Prelight

Visible seams, small to medium veins, and well-done cap. There is an excess amount of rollers glue around the cap and on the body of the cigar. Beautiful dark wrapper, the foot is giving off a white and black mixed pepper. The front is a mix of leather and oak. Let’s see if that holds consistent on the prelight. Firm pack with a couple of lumpy spots. Loose tobacco on the cut but no issues with the cap. The prelight flavors are showing more oak and leather. Let’s get this lit up and see how it preforms.

1/3

Leather, lots of leather on the front with lots of cream playing in from the thick smoke. Mixed pepper on the finish with black over the white pepper. There is a lot of tooth to the wrapper and it’s making for a great mouth feel. Medium to full body, and I believe that it will hit full by, or in, the second third. Low to medium strength I expect that to rise with the body. This cigar is really like smoking a creamy leather bound book.

2/3

At the start of the second third the body has not made it to full. The strength has risen to medium. And the flavors really haven’t changed. The mixed pepper finish is up a bit, but that leather and cream are so dominate they lower the complexity and overall experience of the cigar (in my opinion). If consistent flavors are a go to for your preference, then this is a good cigar. But in terms of complexity it leaves more to be desired. The end of the second third has cream coming up to match leather on the front which is a nice change. There is an oak note that came up on the center for a bit but the mixed pepper is beginning to dominate. The body also managed to reach full.

3/3

Not the best burn line but no touch ups have been needed. Cream came up a bit but its back falling and the leather is back in control of the front. The mixed pepper is coming up on the center and the finish. The little bit of complexity that this did end up having at the end of the second third is gone now. Back to mainly leather and then a higher mixed pepper finish. The body dropped back to medium to full and the strength has held at a medium.

Smoke Time: 1 hour 25 minutes

Conclusion: 83

A little less impressed then the last time I did the review, there wasn’t much of a change and how much can I really expect over the course of a month. This just solidified the findings of the last review. This is a good cigar to visit occasionally but not overly impressive.
