Another working weekend, so another short post. Over the last couple of days I smoked the most recent Diesel cigar on the market and the first Diesel cigar that came out nearly 10 years ago. I figured it would be fun to see how the two compared. The Diesel Hair of the Dog is a 6” x 52 toro made of all Nicaraguan Habano fillers with an Ecuador Habano wrapper and Ecuador Sumatra Binder. Like all Diesel cigars, this is made by A.J. Fernandez in Nicaragua. This one was made to compliment the Diesel Whiskey Row, which, as I have mentioned before, was not a cigar that suited my palate. The Hair of the dog, however, I found to be quite enjoyable. There was a sweetness that I found quite enjoyable, with a cedary wood flavor. while it wasn’t the chocolatey sweet cigar I usually am drawn to , it was an enjoyable change. The burn and draw were excellent. It was a medium-bodied smoke and nice and smooth. Of course, the size was just right for me.… Continue reading

News: Diesel Whiskey Row Sherry Cask Launching in June
Here’s some news from General Cigar Co. I admit that the first Diesel Whiskey Row wasn’t for me, I tried several times, but it just wasn’t up my alley. As much as people who’s tastes I respect raved about it, I just don’t get it. That’s OK, not every cigar is right for everyone! I am looking forward to giving this a whirl, Broadleaf and Arapiraca? What can go wrong?

Saint Patrick’s Day Cigars, CAO, Villiger and Diesel
I have a slightly different take on Saint Patrick’s Day, not being of Irish descent. I have been known to smoke a candela cigar on March 17 over the past few years, considering the cigar companies like to put them out around this time to capitalize on just this sort of thing. Admittedly, I do enjoy a good candela cigar from time to time, I find them a refreshing change of pace. I may pull out an old Alec Bradley Filthy Hooligan today, I have one of the original candelas, and the first year the made the barber pole, unless I stop at the store and they happen to have this year’s iteration, and/or the Shamrock, which I’m quite interested in smoking. I kinda dig the triple-wrapper barber pole treatment for some reason. Anyway, the main reason I like Saint Patrick’s day so much is less about the green and Irish part, and definitely not about the drinking part, but all about the snakes part. You see, I hate snakes, and I’m a huge fan of anyone who can drive them out of an entire country.… Continue reading
