News: Diesel to Release Fool’s Errand

I like a lot of the Diesel cigars, as a matter of fact, I smoked an Unholy Cocktail just last night. I think that was the first Diesel.

Maybe he’ll stop by Son’s tomorrow night, but I somehow doubt it.  I’ve liked a lot of what he’s done with CAO, and I think his contributions will be missed, to the point where I wonder what will become of the line. I enjoy the Pilón line, I look forward to trying this aged version, especially up against some old Pilóns I have in my humidor! … Continue reading »
