New Cigar: Diesel Crucible

Blak Smyth · 01-12-2012, 01:24 PM

I'm looking forward to this release in 2012. I am a huge fan of the Diesel UHC.
This new cigar sounds very interesting but I get a small feeling it may be "Cubanesque" hype.

"Diesel Crucible: A limited, one time run of about 10,000 cigars. We can’t reveal all of the secrets that make this cigar so rare, but one component is a very special filler leaf grown in Honduras. At the onset of the embargo, as tobacco growers and cigar makers fled Cuba, many came to Honduras in search of new land. Most initially settled in an area outside Copan, Honduras where they grew tobacco for several years due to the climate which they felt most rivaled their native Cuba. However, after several successful crops, disease and mold set in, thus rendering the land unusable, forcing growers into regions in other parts of Copan, Jamastrán and Talanga. Almost a decade ago, one particular grower returned to the region, planting various test crops with different seeds engineered to resist the diseases plaguing the tobaccos decades before. After years of failure, the first successful test crop was harvested in 2010 and the results were fantastic. The entire first crop from 2010 was purchased by AJ Fernandez and some was set aside just for Diesel Crucible. This tobacco is strong, robust and a great throwback tobacco from a bygone era that imparts a unique taste. Diesel Crucible will come in only one size, a large torpedo that’s complex and rich with competing flavors ranging from spice and earth to leather and nuts. Crucible takes Diesel to a whole new level."(Quote from Cigar dot com)

Hell that catalog will be my go to book this year, some great deals in there and will be keeping my eyes open for these 3 new sticks.

I'd like to see the UC blend in a smaller RG, preferably a corona or corona gorda. They make a corona for one of CI's samplers, but it isn't available outside the sampler.

As much as I like smaller RGs I really enjoy the DUHC the way it is and wonder if it has room for improvement

.
I am sure it would be delicious!!!

Those engineered seeds sound like criollo. I was reading the CI catalog last night, and they had a blurb about the CAO Criollo.

With the constant aim at "Cubanesque" qualities, I've often wondered why more NC producers don't run with a criollo filler and Corojo/Habano wrapper blend in at least a line or two. It's a perpetual ponderable to me in the same way it still stuns me that pretty much nobody in the NC world was doing a regular-production triple-cap until what... the late '90's? Sure, it's a little more expensive, but the 'just like the real thing!' bullet-point's gotta be worth it. It seems to me that it wouldn't be that much tougher or more expensive for a lot of NC factories to produce cigars closer in broad flavor to the typical Cuban profile, if not the complexity/subtlety.

maninblack · 01-12-2012, 02:47 PM

Very intrigued by this. I have loved every Diesel stick they've put out, even the Unlimited. I pray they stay away from a Connie wrapper in the future. Keep up the great work AJ!

If I get one, great. But I am tired of chasing the "LIMITED" cigars.
