Diesel Unlimited d.7 Review

Wrapper: Honduran Ligero
Filler: Nicaraguan and Mexican
Price: $6.00 - $7.00

Being that the Diesel Unholy line is one of my favorite lines of cigars, I figured the Unlimited line would have to be just as good. I got my hands of a few of the d.7s a while ago and figured that I would share my experience with this stick.

The cigar is huge, and a little intimidating. The cigar is 7” x 58. The wrapper is dark brown, oily, and has a slight red hue to it. This stick smells really sweet as well. There were a couple veins that were pretty thick that worried me, but they turned out to be nothing. There were absolutely no soft spots, which surprised me as well considering its size.

Once this stick was lit, the flavors were a bit milder than I expected.  The cigar starts off very earthy with a mild spice. There were a few sweet sugary notes coming through as well. After about an inch or so, the cigar got very toasty. This smoke was very creamy and quickly left a silky film on the palate.

Diesel Shorty Review

Wrapper: Pennsylvania Broadleaf Maduro
Filler: Nicaraguan tobaccos from the Jalapa, Condega, and Esteli regions

Price: $4.50

This cigar just looks awesome. It measures only four and a half inches but packs a sixty gauge. Under no circumstances should the length of this cigar point you away from this stick. The initial flavor is a spicy delight, yet very earthy, and the aroma off the bat tingles the nostrils. The smoke is a dark gray shade with subtle hints of brown marbled through the smoke.

The first third of this cigar was very interesting to say the least. The flavor was very earthy, with mind cinnamon-like undertones. Also I was getting little bits of chocolate throughout the smoke. The taste was also very sweet on the palate, leaving a creamy film on the roof of my mouth. The subtle notes of cinnamon and chocolate are just swirling together beautifully making this cigar a real pleasant smoke.
