Diesel d.10th robusto

borndead1 · 12-28-2023, 09:43 PM

I've tried a few of the Diesel lines over the years, and they've been hit or miss for me, and even the hits weren't good enough for me to build a stockpile of (which is apparently what I do when I really like a cigar). To be honest, there are so many Diesels that I kinda wrote the whole 'Diesel' name off as a CI bargain brand. But a little internet research taught me that I shouldn't have done that.

I got a 5 pack of these at some point within the last few years. I know it has been quite a while, cuz these have a 52 rg and I decided quite a while ago that I was no longer buying anything over 50.

Um...WOW. This is a surprisingly great cigar! To me it tastes A LOT like a Liga Privada #9 with a bit more spice through the nose. No major twists and turns flavor-wise, but daaaaamn what a tasty smoke this was. Solid medium 'strength'. A few burn corrections throughout the cigar, but when a cigar tastes this good, IDGAF.

Off to C-Bid I go, to stockpile some torpedoes!

Good review, and nice to see some Diesel love.

I really enjoy the d.10, d.x, Unholy Cocktail, and the Diesel Corona. All are damned solid smokes and are a constant presence in my Aristocrat.

It's hard for AJ to make a bad one. This is a re-creation of the very first Diesel blend. II agree, it's really good. Makes we wonder why this blend was shelved for so long. I also like the Unholy Cocktails and the Unlimited line.

I smoked another one of my well-rested five pack tonight. It was so good that I'm looking at my cabinet playing mental Tetris figuring out how to fit a box.

No joke. Great smoke.

Hah, yeah. How to fit new cigars? I always liked the unholy cocktail. Been a while but this review brought back fond memories.
