This Diamond Crown 1895 Perfecto Special Reserve box has a great story. J. C. Newman Co. owns Diamond Crown (as well as some other brands) and tells this story on their website.

“Born in 1875 in a small Hungarian village, Julius Newman and his family sailed across the Atlantic in 1888 in search of the American Dream. With no middle name, Julius was required to choose one before workers could complete his entry paperwork. Stumped, he solicited help from the immigration officer who suggested Caesar, after the great Roman. Julius relished in the thought of being named after a historic leader and conqueror but due to a typo by the attendant – Caeser was spelled with an “e”. Thus Julius Caeser (J.C.) Newman, American citizen, was born.”

This special box has a faux leather outside that feels like real leather, has gold stamped lettering and has suede lining on the interior. It is roomy without being too large (8 5/8” wide x 5 7/8” long x 2 1/4” tall) and the black leather look goes great with any of the finish choices.
