Diesel Wicked

"By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes....". This stick was another that I had in my CotM club, and this one was awesome.

Diesel Wicked 6.5"x52 Belicoso

Construction:

First thing you notice is the bright purple band across the dark leather-like Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper. Inside the wrapper is the Nicaraguan Habano binder containing the long-leaf Nicaraguan filler. This means a lot of volcanic ash-fed tobaccos leading to great flavor. The wrapper was free of blemishes, and the seams were invisible.

Smoke:

From the first puff, this cigar was full of spice and raisin flavor, and the body was full....good thing I ate before smoking :). There were hints of wood, earth, leather and spice with hints of cracked pepper throughout. The flavors were full, the strength was full, and the draw was good. The only thing that was wonky was the burn. The burn was less than straight with a couple of touch-ups needed around the half-way mark.

Overall, I have liked every Diesel I've tried and this is no exception. This is a must have in every humidor if you like full-flavored, full-bodied smokes. I will be picking some of these up if I can find them in the local smoke shop....can't buy a box cause everywhere I've checked is sold out.

Keep Smokin'!
