Default Diesel Unholy Cocktail Cigar Review Video




This 5×56 torpedo sports a dark chocolate, soft but toothy firm wrapper with minimal veins, and a rich potpourri like spicy scent. First light reveals a slightly firm draw with adaquate smoke production. Flavors are medium bodied with a rich oily slightly sweet tobacco, and a good bit of pepper and spice especially on the long deep finish. The first third brings quite a complex blend of toast, coffee, then a spicy leather with a bit of pepper. The finish grows the pepper and adds spice, holding on well to the next draw. Body is a good medium-full. By the 1/2 way point the ash had just dropped off, burn was perfect and the flavors had mellowed a bit pushing more of the coffee. The last third continued the trend changing to a smooth creamy coffee with a pepper zing at the end of the draw. Total burn time to the nub was 1:15. Video on the site.

Thanks for the review Bryan.

Just pulled the trigger on a 10-Pack of these on CI's Daily Joe Jambalaya.

Man, I really like these. If you want something that is similar yet more refined, you should try the Man O War Ruination.

Yeah, I'm waiting for those to show up on a Joe's Jam again. They popped up for like 4 minutes on Wednesday afternoon. Wasn't at the computer at the time. Even the Diesel's today were only up for 4 or 5 minutes.

Heard a lot of good things about MOW and MOWR though. None of the local shops here carry them.

Might just break down and buy the sampler tin from CI: MOW Royal Sampler Tin

Tad more expensive than catching them on a Jam, but if I combine it with a Jam order I'll still get the free shipping. We'll see.

Edit: Woohoo, I think we succeeded in hijacking a thread!

You can also get them from CheapHumidors (http://www.cheaphumidors.com/CS-Diesel.html).

Just to update, I smoked one of these bad boys last night and I think I'm in love. This one is now the #1 contender for my 'daily smoke' lineup. Probably will be the first full box I buy. And at just over $3 each, it's a pretty good deal that won't have the wife screaming at me for smoking 2 or 3 per day.

Will smoke a few more of the 10 pack to see how the consistency goes, but I think I'll be set with these.

Thanks again for the review Bryan.

Just got a box off cigar bid, haven't tried them yet though. Are they good fresh (box date 3/25/10)? I was planning a rest for a few months then light them up.

Not sure how old the one I smoked last night was. It was part of a 10 pack so I don't know when it was boxed. I'd assume CI moves inventory pretty fast though so I'd bet mine is probably around the same date as yours if not a bit younger. I've only had it for a couple days and it tasted great to me. If they get better with some age, I'll be even more pleased with them.

Spark one up and see how it goes. If it tastes green at all, just let the other 29 sit for a month and try again.
