diesel unholy cocktail

hscmit · 10-12-2010, 08:12 PM

My first experience with this cigar and it was a pretty good one.

Construction: wrapper is dark, oily, toothy and very thick

Prelight: draw is slightly tight, and a little pepper is left on the lips

First Third: first few puffs are a bit bland, taste develops and chocolate, coffee and faint cinnamon, not the amount of spice I was expecting

Draw: takes a little time to open up

Burn: ok

Ash/Smoke: smoke volume is good, ash is salt and pepper a little flaky and strong, really strong

Second Third: little bit of pepper starts to creep in but the predominate flavor is a sweet coffee/latte flavor

Final third: little spice, little coffee, little chocolate

Strength: med

Flavor: full

Overall Impression: pretty good, this was a nice change of pace for me, as it is a bit outside of my flavor profile, and the ash was really impressive and fun to watch

Scoring

Construction:9/10
Prelight: 3/5
First Third: 12/15
Draw: 7/10
Burn: 7/10
Ash / Smoke: 9/10
Second Third: 8/10
Final Third:8/10
Overall impression: 17/20
Total Score: 80/100

Thanks for the review!

I bought a box of these a couple months ago without trying one (all the talk had me sold), and I can honestly say that I am not at all disappointed with the purchase. I think it was a $100 for 30 and I got a cutter for $1, 3 bucks for a great smoke, can't beat that!

Thanks for the review and I can't believe you held onto the ash.

I may try these now, thank you

if you like maduro's with a flavor profile a little on the sweet side it might be right up your alley

Nice review, and great pics! I've only had one unholy, but I've got a few more in the humi. I think its time to revisit these little beauties
