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%

They feel a lot moister than 70%!

Mine were quite wet.

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

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 · 02-26-2010, 09:06 AM

Mine were from before this recent restock.

MiamiE · 02-26-2010, 09:33 AM

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 · 02-26-2010, 09:43 AM

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

MiamiE · 02-26-2010, 09:55 AM

Well was the last release the first time anyone had heard about Diesel cigars?

02-26-2010, 03:26 PM

It appears the latest round of cbid does not have these listed

Got the Diesels today. The cutter works fine.
Need to let the cigars rest - journey was 2,534 miles from Bath PA.

A lot of positive talk on these sticks. Should I get a fiver???

I'm smoking a '10 Diesel right now. Still wet and still need a few months rest. I'll revisit these at the end of April.

Bought 2 boxes...smoked one out of the box.
Awesome flavor and construction, a bit wet...I'm sure will be a go to stick after they do time.

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.

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.

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.
