Diesel is releasing a limited-edition version of its Hair of the Dog line this month. This cigar was created by AJ Fernandez with the help of brand manager Justin Andrews at Tabacalera AJ Fernandez in Esteli, Nicaragua. The fillers are made entirely of Nicaraguan Habano, while the wrapper is an Ecuadoran Habano, and binder Ecuadoran Sumatra. The regular Hair of the Dog line is a Cigars International exclusive that has been around since 2013.

·"I love everything about the appearance of this cigar. It's very unique perfecto shape and box press make for an extraordinary presentation. The wrapper is a reddish-brown and very even in color. There are no large veins or imperfections." -Emmett (rhetorik)

·"This is a damn good cigar. It was slightly milder than I typically prefer but the interesting mix of flavors kept my attention and didn't leave me wanting more. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes a cigar that is just south of medium strength and would also have no issues handing one to my friends who seldom smoke. This one is worthy of smoking to the nub and is worthy of a place in my humidor." -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)

·"Never judge a book by it's cover is how I would describe this cigar. It is definitely one of the ugliest cigars I've seen, yet it is also one of the most enjoyable ones I have had as well. Can't wait to see what this was." -Craig (WyldKnyght)

"Pre-light I thought this was the perfect cigar for a morning smoke. I stand by the voices in my head. While the pepper in the first and final third overshadowed the other notes a bit, I could still pull out some other flavors. The balance was a little off but I think enjoying it with a cup of coffee may add what the cigar was missing." -Gregg (McGreggor57)

"Wow! This was a fantastic cigar! The cigar really didn't show its true colors until the second third, but that's fine. In the second third I got that wonderful creamy/buttery flavors. Then in the final third every other sip the cigar really surprised me with earthy tones (no spice) of wood then followed up with cream and butter. This is definitely a box purchase in my future. Would love to pair this with morning coffee as my first cigar of the day..... I'd go even further and say it could be my last cigar of the day too." -Mickey T. (irratebass)

·"Even though I found this cigar lacking a wow factor, the flavors were solid. Defined transitions between the thirds held my interest. I wouldn't grab this one for a special occasion although I would gladly smoke one again." -Gregg (McGreggor57)

"This cigar was a tale of two halves. The first half had complexity while the second half was on the darker side with little change. I'm not sure if it was me or the blend but by the end, I was left with more questions about how good this cigar could really be. I will definitely revisit this cigar once I know what it is.

"Overall a very enjoyable stick. The flavor profile was very nice, and the smoke was as smooth as silk. I'll be on the look out for these after the reveal." -Dave W. (mdwest)
