News: New Sizes for the Diesel Disciple

I’ve smoked a lot of Diesels, but I don’t think I’ve smoked the Disciple.  The Atonement was really good, and the Esteli Puro is really quite good too.  I lied the Crucible quite a bit too.  I’m going to go pick out a Diesel to smoke tonight. I’ll be keeping an eye out for this Disciple.

Diesel Disciple will welcome two new sizes as permanent additions to the brand’s growing lineup.

The soon-to-be-released Toro and Torpedo vitolas will mark the second and third sizes in the line and will begin shipping this week.… Continue reading »

Protocol, Hoyo de Monterrey and Diesel Cigars

A few weeks back I bought a five pack of Protocol Churchills from Discount Cigar Warehouse.  From what I know, this was exclusive to them and Churchills aren’t available in all the blends regularly.  I happen to be a big fan of the Churchill size, although these are only 6½” x 48, not quite the 7″ x 47 that is truly a Churchill. Call it what you will, it’s still a great size in my book.… Continue reading »

News: Diesel Sunday Gravy Grappa Announced

I’ll admit, I’m behind on sampling the Sunday Gravy series. The first one was pretty good, and I’ve been meaning to revisit it. I don’t think I’ve seen any of the others. I’m not a big fan of tomatoes, so that gets into my head a little, and, subconsciously, I don’t tend to look for them. A sampler would be nice, now that there are five versions!

It’s a widely held belief that Italians wrote the book on eating and drinking. Food, libations and socializing are part of the culture and meals can stretch on for hours.  Not for the faint of heart is grappa, an Italian-made digestivo made from the distillate of grape seeds, stalks and stems. The distilled spirit is enjoyed as a palate-cleansing firewater. And when the grappa comes out, things get interesting.… Continue reading »
