hence the "to me." Yeah, I was just not impressed with the Diesel. I thought it was a lot of hype and it did not live up to it. Different strokes for different folks.

Just got done smoking the LHC oscuro.... it was a good smoke. I would definitely smoke more if I had more. Thanks for the review, I don't think I would have smoked it if it wasn't for the review.

Smoked one of these tonight. Paired nice with the brandy I had. Great review friend.

Enjoying one of these right now thanks to Dunkel. I think the diesel is about equal. I couldn't really pick one over the other. Both great smokes.

The 5.5 x 54 robusto has a pretty dark broadleaf maduro wrapper grown in Pennsylvania has hardly no veins. A Nicaraguan binder and filler from Esteli, Condega and Jalapa in Nicaragua finish this cigar. The double band is quite stylish, yet not overdone. The construction feels good and the cigar produces a nice barnyard aroma. The predraw is fine and leaves a peppery raisin flavor in my mouth.

I can taste a strong coffee flavor, more espresso then normal coffee and maybe a little too strong for my taste, it's borderline. After a centimeter I can taste a little bit of chocolate as an aftertaste. The texture of the flavors are dry.

I can also taste a wooden flavor through the espresso and slowly the espresso fades away a bit so that the wood becomes the dominant flavor.

Halfway there is a nice balance between the coffee and the wood flavors and the aftertaste is chocolate again, but really mild. At 2/3rd some herbal flavors join the coffee and wood, and slowly those herbs grow to become the dominant flavor, perfectly supported by the coffee and wood.

The draw is fine, just like the burn. The amount of medium thick smoke is insane, it is a good thing that my smoke alarm isn't working, or the fire department would have been paying a visit. The salt and pepper colored ash is firm but crooked. This cigar is full bodied and full flavored, the flavors are very bold and "in your face". I had a little nicotine buzz going on.

Would I buy this cigar again? Oh yeah!! Another fine AJ Fernandez blend and available for $3 a piece.

I just hope this stays the little secret it is. Or we can expect the price to go through the roof.

the ones I have are about 6 months a year and they are gettting better. After having 3 of the Diesels I think the LHCOF's are maybe equal or a little better even.
