Great cigar!

CAO Mx2

Pretty good for a maduro. Usually not a fan but enjoyed for the most part. Had a good 2 months humidor time.

CAO Mx2

One of my favorite cigars for many years. 1st third - Coffee, dark chocolate, spice and earthiness. 2nd third - reg chocolate, leather, cocoa joined the spice as the earthy flavor and the coffee faded some. 3rd third- Bitter chocolate replaced the reg, the coffee came back with the earthiness and hints of wood. Extremely well balanced smoke with very smooth transitions.

I always enjoy a double maduro cigar. Full bodied with coffee, chocolate, cocoa right out the gate. I did have to perfecdraw it 2 times.

If your a Maduro lover like me this is a damn good cigar. As the names says it's a double maduro wrapper but it also has a maduro binder. Flavors are mainly C coffee, earth and chocolate with hints of pepper, fruit and nuts coming and going at different points. This is a bold and strong smoke yet Stull creamy and smooth

After 15 years in my longterm storage humidor these sticks are better than ever. Coffee, spice & chocolate flavors. Perfect burn and great draw.

Diesels are such heavy hitters, some days that's what you're really craving. Today is that day for me. It wasn't a bad day at work but it was a long day. Since about 2pm I've been craving this bad boy and it's definitely hitting the spot. Earthy, leathery, and salty, which I usually don't taste much but I've been trying to reduce my sodium intake lately and this is the first cigar I've noticed it. Almost like soy sauce. Retrohale is super peppery. The burn is slightly uneven but burning well all around. Draw is nice and open from the straight cut. Ash is an inch long after 30 minutes. Smoke is just pouring out from the foot and the head which means the 56 gauge is burning nice and strong. I might also be smoking too quickly but it's tasting good and burning great so I'm going to continue what I'm doing. The burn has evened out entirely now and is burning even all around. Ash is now half the length of the cigar, about 1.5" remaining. Ash ended up burning down to the nub before falling off. Can't get much better than that!

Always a solid smoke for getting work done!

Diesel Unholy Cocktail

Nice smoke for a rainy day in southwest VA. The draw on this cigar is perfect in my opinion. I really enjoyed it and will again after the others age for a bit.

Diesel Unholy Cocktail

The cap wasn't on straight so it was a little annoying to smoke but still good as always

Diesel Unholy Cocktail

I wasn't too focused on the cigar today as I was working while smoking, but I enjoyed the cigar

Diesel Unholy Cocktail

Always a fantastic smoke.

Was expecting more after all the reviews

First third wasn't too great but the second and third third was great. Would buy again for sure
