AJ Fernandez has seen his star rise for some time now. For those of you familiar with his works like the Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet and the Indian Tobac 10th Anniversary you know he like Nicaraguan tobacco and likes the spice. AJ blended this Diesel Unholy Cocktail no differently.

Appearance: Rustic is the word that comes to mind. Even the band looks like a piece of tin left out in the elements. Not that it is a bad thing, on the contrary, it makes it look retro or cool without trying too hard. It is VERY oily. 9/10
Construction: Very few veins and no soft spots. Some of the finishing touches don’t seem to be “topped off” but that could lend to the rustic look I was talking about earlier. 8/10
Burn: There were a few touch-ups needed but nothing to get you worried. 9/10
Aroma: This smells like a new belt or shoe with lots of leather. There is some chocolate coming through but it is very feint. 10/10
Draw: Draw was solid. 9/10
Flavor: More leather, some earthy notes and spice. GREAT with coffee. 10/10
Availability: You can only buy these at Cigar.com, Cigarinternational.com and Cigarbid.com. I would like these to be present at a local shop but that is not my call. However, I got a box of 30 for just over $70.00 so it is hard to beat the value of that. 8/10
Personal Overall Experience: This is a very good cigar. This probably has the strongest aroma and flavor that I have ever had in a cigar. It is not overpowering, just always present. The Diesel Unholy Cocktail is pretty one dimensional though. I like these in the morning with coffee or with Espresso later in the day. Great value. 28/30.
Total: 91/100

I purchased a 5 pack of these when they first came out, and, like you, was pretty impressed. I couldn't get over how heavy they seemed in relation to their size.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, nice review--and good smoke!

This is one of my favorite cigars, good taste and smooth. Also, The cigar was actual best made, had an accomplished draw, and did not crave any relights.
