Backordering Diesel Cigars - Page 4

These tend to go over retail as I have been watching them and the people that have been saving the most money on them are the ones doing the quick buy option. Cigar Bid is notorious for going over retail but some of the lots I have been watching lately have been ridiculous. I guess it's been a blessing that I have not been able to score any deals over there lately. If going the C-Bid route I would just do the Buy it now price as that is still almost $13 savings.

I have seen some go over retail which is foolish to say the least. Especially whenever CB has an Anejo or an Opus.

As far as this price, $87.50 is pretty good. And if the Colibri cutter from CI doesn't mean anything to you, it makes sense to go this route.

MiamiE · 02-22-2010, 05:26 AM

Jump on it. I just paid $100 from CI!

It is a thing of beauty isn't it?

The sticks wrapped in burlap inside look pretty sweet as well!

maninblack · 02-24-2010, 06:28 PM

Finally got mine today. love the packaging and can't wait to light one up!

captain53 · 02-24-2010, 07:04 PM

Picked up 10 on Joe's Jam in the middle last night while I could not sleep for $29.99 Free Shipping.

Probably should have bought 20 but I have never tried them so just testing.

eber · 02-24-2010, 10:00 PM

mine should be arriving tomorrow, cant wait to try one of them

02-24-2010, 11:48 PM

I had my first one a couple days ago, urged on by this thread.

The construction was impeccable--perfect draw, perfect burn, and the ash held for over 1/2 the stick (ashed only the once). The flavors were good, but the stick needs more rest for the flavors to coalesce and smooth out, imvho. I think that with some rest these could be VERY good cigars for the money. I'm glad I got a 10-er.

eber · 02-25-2010, 03:01 PM

got mine today and they look nice

however the cutter is not that great, the blades are sloppy and dont make a clean cut. has anyone else tried the cutter? I am not complaining for $1 though

Gary · 02-25-2010, 04:42 PM

I seem to have gotten a clean cut.

Hmm. A bad cutter is a bad cutter. At least it only cost $1. Might as well chunk it - no use risking harm done to a beautiful smoke

I got a clean cut off of mine, the only problem I have is when you push the button to release the blades one of them sticks a little bit.

I just received the Diesels that I ordered from CheapHumidors.com -- can't wait to try them! Probably will try one tomorrow at Tripp's brfday herf

You'll Love 'em, Michael! They're Good ROTT, But Even Better with 3 Months of Rest!

MiamiE · 02-25-2010, 10:32 PM

I hate that word rest. I am giving mine a few days to acclimate, then I will try one. Maybe even tomorrow night. Does anyone know how long it takes a cigar to get acclimated to its new temp and humidity? CI says it stores at 70* and 70%. I keep mine at 70* and 62%.

I smoked one ROTT, same day, and it was ok but a little over-humidified.

I think it took about 2 weeks to get acclimated to 65% and they were smoking much better as far as flavor.
