Editorial: Holiday 2016 Cigar Gift GuideDiesel Uncut d.CT Bundle

Diesel comes from the Mind of AJ Fernandez and has been a staple is many humidors for years. In addition, the Diesel Uncut, is the blend favored by Tabacalera Fernandez’s workers. Their latest createion, the Diesel Uncut d.CT, is still bold, and still jam packed with flavor, just with a toned-down intensity.

Diesel Uncut d.CT comes dressed in an Ecuadoran Connecticut wrapper sitting atop a Nicaraguan binder and long-fillers. The Connecticut wrapper adds a creamy element to the familiar flavors of black pepper, nuts, cedar, and earth, and the blend is a medium-bodied treat. The potency is dialed down, but the blend will still wallop you with flavor and complexity. In short, it’s what you’d expect from a Diesel and at a price that’s hard to believe. You can purchase here.
