Backordering Diesel Cigars

[Zulu]

I'm a big fan of the Man O War Ruination and want to get my hands on a box of the Diesel Unholy Cocktail, but the sites that sell them are all on backorder.
Has anyone placed a backorder while cigars were not available at the time for any sticks, or should I just wait to purchase when the web sites show them available?

[Whynot]

I can't answer about the backorder, but if you pm me your address I can send you a couple to hold you over.

[neoflex]

They are CIs house brand and have taken off like wild fire. I'm sure they will be doing another run of these and will be in stock soon. (Crosses fingers as I should have jumped on these sooner)

[cigarlvr]

humm looks like a good cigar. Any idea how many were made first batch around?

[AlohaStyle]

The devil site is selling a 20-count sampler which includes 5 of the Diesels... there is 3 packages available under quick buy or auction.

Thanks for posting. Added this to my watch list. Might have to blow some more cash.:ss

[Goldie]

I was just looking at the Diesels today as well, and I only looked at CI but it showed backordered. I guess that is probably a good sign that they are pretty good. I would like to pick some up also. Every review I have read has been positive. We are expecting our tax return, so I thought I would irresponsibly spend some of it on a box of smokes.

I thought about contacting CI and telling them they need some type of "Notify me" option, so that people who are waiting for an out of stock or backordered item, will know when they become available, and spend their money with CI, rather than somewhere else.

THey had whole box's on there a week ago.

[CigarNut]

I bought a box from CheapHumidors.com, but they are no longer showing the cigar so they must have sold out... Guess I got lucky!

[bscottskangum]

Anyone found any boxes of these boxes still for sale yet? I am really wanting a box

[Goldie]

I just looked again today and saw they are still backordered at CI. Hopefully soon though...

[dox47]

Just picked up a fiver on CBid, sitting on them a few days while I let them adjust from the trip. Might have overpaid a bit at 20 for the 5, but I'd heard such good things about them that I couldn't resist.

[captain53]

CI has been out of stock on them for a while now.

[ripper]

Just ordered a box of Diesels from CI, got the Colibri grip cutter for a buck, and free shipping with the code http://www.cigarsinternational.com/freepmx1
Total $100.95.

Kreth, looks like they're back in stock. Funny thing is I checked around 7:30 this morning and they still showed Backordered. Just checked now and they are in stock. Ripper, I think your being a little harsh, was a simple question.:2

[marge796]

Jeff I just pulled the trigger on a box w/ the cutter option for a dollar.

Ripper thanks man! Ordered mine!

Might be worth a box purchase. It's a toss-up between these and the Reposados. :ss

What are these Reposados you speak of?

[Kreth]

What are these Reposados you speak of?
Reposado '96, also blended by Fernandez and available from CI. I've only tried the habano so far, they also come in connie and maddie.

How's the Habano wrapper?

[maninblack]

Well there goes another 100 bucks.Money well spent!

[Kreth]

Pretty tasty. I haven't had a Fernandez stick that I didn't like.

EDIT: I could've sworn I posted a review, but apparently not.

[Goldie]

Nice grabs guys. Story of my freaking life, I went ahead and spent the little bit of money I kept from our tax return, and these become available. Oh well, I will get some eventually.

[Zulu]

Got 'em ordered...Thanks for the heads up Ripper!!!
Love to hear what you guys think after trying them, we'll have to compare notes later.

[issues]

I bought a box back in January and I can tell you they are quite nice!

Very tasty, strong and burn perfectly! :tu

These are a great little smoke. I received two in the NCMAW and I thought they were great and at that price point how could anyone complain. Give them at least a couple weeks off the truck. I'm going to have to search the couch cushions for money to buy myself a box. My budget has been all blown to hell this month and it figures they come back in at that time. I'm sure once I recover they'll be back on back order.

I know what you mean John.

The box order I received today is so good I'm already trying to figure out a way to buy another!

Heck, I shouldn't have bought this one!!!

To you guys who have already tried these...
I hear they are super tasty but I'd like to know how is the draw?; I hate it when a tasty smoke has a draw so tight you can't enjoy it...I hope the draw is nice (since I bought a box)

[Whynot]

I found the draw on the box+ I have smoked already to be great. I did not have a problem with a single one.

[Gary]

I've never tried them before, tempted to buy a box, but maybe a 5 pack might be wise? Or are they that tasty??

I've only had one, but the draw was perfect. The Unholy Cocktail is a torpedo, so it's easy to fine-tune the draw. I'd snag a 5er if you're hesitant about dropping the cash for a box.

I have never had a draw problem and they always seem to have a razor sharp burn line. The construction on the ones I've smoked have been impeccable.

The Diesel is an excellent cigar at an unbeatable price. When I finish this box I can see myself buying another down the road...

:ss

[Tripp]

I had one last night for the first time, and at first I wasn't really digging it, but the flavors picked up after the first 1/2" or so, and I thought it was pretty good.

Consistently the best draw of any torp I've ever smoked.

[maninblack]

Damn people I'm salivating just waiting for my box to show up Tuesday!

Mine too!

I just ordered a second box and my first box hasn't even arrived yet...this is sick!

[Gary]

ok ok, I broke down and ordered a box! (love those long ash pictures!) Along with a 5 pack of Man O' War Toro.

[neoflex]

That's funny that you had that impression of this smoke. The first one that I smoked I lit it and for about the first 1/4" I kept saying, what the hell is the hype with this cigar, I'm almost ready to put it down and pull something else out of the humidor to smoke but shortly there after the flavor started to pick up and I really enjoyed it. The second one was a lot better out of the gate so I figured maybe the first one was like that because I literally smoked it two days after it got here so I chalked it up to being in transit and needing to settle down. They are definitely a good little smoke and for the price point you really can't go wrong. It's one of those sticks that if I start smoking it and need to put it down never to finish than I won't feel as guilty like I would should I be smoking a $6 or $7 stick and have to put it down early. By the way I spent money I shouldn't have by having a buddy call and tell me he is ordering a box and asked if he should order me one to save on shipping. What's a guy to do my arm was being twisted?:D

[eber]

GAH!!!!! just read this thread and promptly ordered a box with the $1 cutter add on

[gnukfu]

So after reading this thread I smoked one of these had been given to me; never had one before. I was pleasantly surprised...a very good smoke.

[njstone]

I have a 10-pack of these that I got right after the release. They've been resting patiently because it's too frickin' cold to smoke. This week it might warm up a bit and I think this will be the one I try, you guys are making them sound pretty good :)

[poriggity]

I've still got 3/4 of a box from a few months ago when I ordered... I think I'll dig one out for my monday lunch smoke..

Cigarbid has some Diesel boxes available. I don't know if the quickbuy price is still applicable since there are already bids, but this is a good deal.

I believe QB is good up until the next bid would be higher than the QB price. I'd jump on this if I had the cash. It's 2/3 of the way to retail with 3 days left. I guarantee some morons will bid this over retail. :rolleyes:
Posted via Mobile Device

[neoflex]

These tend to go over retail as I have been watching them and the people that have been saving the most money on them are the ones doing the quick buy option. Cigar Bid is notorious for going over retail but some of the lots I have been watching lately have been ridiculous. I guess it's been a blessing that I have not been able to score any deals over there lately. If going the C-Bid route I would just do the Buy it now price as that is still almost $13 savings.:2

[Goldie]

I have seen some go over retail which is foolish to say the least. Especially whenever CB has an Anejo or an Opus.

As far as this price, $87.50 is pretty good. And if the Colibri cutter from CI doesn't mean anything to you, it makes sense to go this route.

[MiamiE]

Jump on it. I just paid $100 from CI!

[bscottskangum]

BTW, my box was sitting on the porch when I got home today... I have it sitting out in the living room to admire it's beauty.

Quit it people!! Mine won't be here till Wed.!

For those of you considering jumping on the qb price on CBid.. DO IT. I paid $100 shipped for my box from cigar.com..

Got mine today. I'm going to wait until tomorrow to smoke one though then the rest will be forgotten about for awhile.

Picked up 10 on Joe's Jam in the middle last night while I could not sleep for $29.99 Free Shipping.:tu Probably should have bought 20 but I have never tried them so just testing.:banger

Go With The Diesels, Jeff! I've Had Both And "No Comparison"!:tu

[eber]

mine should be arriving tomorrow, cant wait to try one of them

[njstone]

I had my first one a couple days ago, urged on by this thread.

The construction was impeccable--perfect draw, perfect burn, and the ash held for over 1/2 the stick (ashed only the once). The flavors were good, but the stick needs more rest for the flavors to coalesce and smooth out, imvho. I think that with some rest these could be VERY good cigars for the money. I'm glad I got a 10-er.

[Kreth]

I dunno. I prefer the Diesel, but the Reposados are pretty damn tasty too. Plus you get 40 for the same price as 30 Diesels.

I've only tried the habano. I haven't had a chance to try the maddie yet, and I'm not a big connie fan, so I probably won't bother with those.
Decisions, decisions. The Diesels are great, but those Reposados would be great golf smokes. They last forever. :ss

Hmm. A bad cutter is a bad cutter. At least it only cost $1. Might as well chunk it - no use risking harm done to a beautiful smoke :ss

I got a clean cut off of mine, the only problem I have is when you push the button to release the blades one of them sticks a little bit.

[MiamiE]

I hate that word rest. I am giving mine a few days to acclimate, then I will try one. Maybe even tomorrow night. Does anyone know how long it takes a cigar to get acclimated to its new temp and humidity? CI says it stores at 70* and 70%. I keep mine at 70* and 62%.

I smoked one ROTT, same day, and it was ok but a little over-humidified.

I think it took about 2 weeks to get acclimated to 65% and they were smoking much better as far as flavor. :tu

I have a hard time believing that they are shipped at 70% because mine arrived pretty wet, however I could be wrong because I am used to my sticks which I store at 65%

[MiamiE]

They feel a lot moister than 70%!

[issues]

Mine were quite wet.

Some of them had the celo stuck to them from over-humidification.

[neoflex]

I'm thinking they may be a little fresh. Wondering if they had to bump up production not expecting these would be such a hit out of the gate and they shipped to CI wet.

[issues]

Mine were from before this recent restock.

[MiamiE]

Question: Was the last shipment the original release of the unholy cocktail? AND has anyone had a new production one that can compare and confirm they are the same blend?

[issues]

Hard to tell, there is no box code that I can identify...

I had my first Diesel on Saturday night and it was a very fine cigar -- particularly given the price. Well constructed, nice draw, lit well, and nice flavor. It lasted a good hour or more. Definately well worth the money.

[quantim0]

I am looking for some around here locally and have been unable to locate one. I guess I'll have to put in an order online eventually.

[neoflex]

They are technically a CI house brand so finding them locally might be tough unless a retailer brings them in upon request which will also cost you a but more as they will more than likely buy them at full pop and than add their markup on top. I was surprised to find them in a local B&M and they had said some of their patrons requested them. They were charging $7.50 a stick which means if I were to buy a box from them it would cost me $225 as opposed to ordering them directly from CI and getting them for $99 plus $5 shipping or wait for them to pop up on C-Bid and do the Buy It Now feature for $87.50. I think online cheaphumidors.com has also been selling them for $99.

[CigarNut]

They are technically a CI house brand...This is really interesting since I purchased mine from CheapHumidors.com...

[issues]

CI, Cigar.com, Cbid and Cheap Humidors are all owned by the same company I believe...

Funny thing is the first Diesel I smoked was at a local B&M who ordered them due to client requests.

He was selling them for 6 bucks and before I found a box online, I thought it was a fair price for this cigar.

[colinb913]

These are the same cigar as these (http://www.cigar.com/cigars/viewcigar.asp?brand=765). Correct? If so, I will jump on a box.

Awesome. Just ordered up a box.

however if you order from CI you can get the cutter for only a dollar more,

speaking of which, I have been using the cutter more and it has been working fine, I guess it just felt different at first. :)
