Default Diesel Unholy Cocktail

I've yet to try a Diesel cigar, but have heard nothing but rave reviews about them. Figured I'd buy a box and give them a try. Was wondering if people prefer the torpedo (5"x56) or the nub (4.5"x60). I found a nice deal on them and can get a box of 20 of the nubs for $65.00 and a box of 30 of the torps for $80.00.

Good lord you replied before I even posted. hah!

I was thinking of getting the torps anyways. Seems a better value. 30 vs 20. On CI and Cigar.com the price is the same. They both $99.00 and you get 10 more with the torps.

I'm not getting them through CI. I got a $50.00 gift certificate to another shop that has them at $80.00. So essentially I have to pay $30.00 for 30 cigars.

CI has them for $99.95. And they are "back-ordered" on the cutter deal.

While I think the Shorty as a bit stronger and bolder, I prefer the Unholy Cocktail because it's a smaller ring gauge.

I prefer the shorty version. I love the larger ring guage and it seems to last me a bit longer than the torpedoes.But I love all the Diesel's.

I have only had the torpedo, but with some age they're really great. I'd love to try the Shorty and new Unlimited as well.

The Shorty lasted longer for me, but I prefer the UC Torp. The flavors were more pronounced and had no burn issues.

The torpedo (Unholy Cocktail) is my favorite. Packed tight, long good burn, smooth yet robust enough to pack a bit of a punch. Just the way I like em! Enjoy and let me know what you think!

The entire Diesel line is delicious so you can't go wrong with any of them.
