New Diesel! - Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum

Just got my recent issue of the cigar.com magazine and they had a new Diesel in it, a 4.5x60 called the Shorty. It was made for a reality tv guy and its supposed to be a limited edition. Anyone smoked these and have any thoughts? Thinking about buying a box. Only 24 in a box compared to 30 of the regular diesels.

Is it a new blend? Or just a new nub?

New diesels! I am looking forward to trying these if they are for real. No info yet on the internets.

Meh, more expensive for the same blend and named after some reality show wannabe. Fail.
I'll stick with the Unholy Cocktail.

I like Diesel, but I am not fan of large ring gauge.

I'm still waiting to try an unholy cocktail, so I'm behind.

I might buy a 5-pack just to say I've tried them. The Unholy Cocktail is good enough that I don't think I'd buy a box of another (maybe more expensive) version. Probably just pick up a box of the originals instead, or some more MOWR. Mmmm...

I will say that AJ Fernandez is a blending god. I haven't had a bad stick blended by him yet. :-)

Nice to hear about the MOWR, one of AJ's finest.

On topic, I am just looking forward to more information about the new diesels.

I like a big fat ring gauge so this is right up my alley.
[Reply]

I like the Unholy Cocktail a lot!

I'll give these a try as well. $7 for a single/$99 for a box of 20.

Didn't see any 5-pack offer although it will probably show up on the Daily Deal at some point.
[Reply]

Actually there are 24 in a box.Makes for an even sweeter deal.
[Reply]

Waiting to see if it's a new blend. Kinda skeptical here.

These just poped up on todays Jam and were gone in a flash..... Diesel Shorty
10 CIGARS $34.99 If anyone picked these up fill us in when they land.

Except for the fact that you can get a box of 30 UCs for the same price.
