    ELECTRIC BLANKET

    I love going out on my patio, wrapping up in mine and enjoying a good cigar in the winter.
    Electric Blanket?? I thought you said you used a Snuggie?? lol

    I smoked one of these tonight (its been resting in my humi since they became available) and I found it to be quite enjoyable. It had a good flavor and even though it started with an uneven burn, it evened itself out after a few minutes without having to touch it up. I think I'll put it in my list of top ten.

    Yeah, I had another on Superbowl Sunday and it was great....


    I haven't had a cigar a I didn't enjoy...I can say that because I don't consider Graycliffs cigars.

    I had one earlier in the week with 3+ months of rest and it was fantastic! Much love for the Diesel :^)

    To me there just wasn't anything to this cigar. I mean it was a powerhouse but lacked any real flavor. I set it down with 2 inches to go. Its sad bc I was pretty excited about it.

    Wow, I've had 6 of these or so now and they have all been awesome. One fell a bit flat for the first 1/2" or so, but the flavors got going after that. Have you tried more than one? I found it to start off meaty and peppery and get into a more sweet and coffee/chocolate kind of profile toward the end. These have been one that I consistently nub every time.

    I smoked my third Diesel tonight. I've given the cigar what I feel to be a good objective try, three cigars: one smoked fresh and the other two smoked at intervals of 30-45 days after the previous one. And I'll say this much right off the bat, it is a well made cigar and it is a good cigar. That said, I'm just not sold on it, it is full bodied but something in the flavor department is lacking for me, it doesn't live up to my taste in cigars. Would I smoke one occasionally? You bet I would, I'd enjoy one or two a month, but it's not the kind of cigar I could smoke with any regularity, it's just not there. You Diesel fans can write this off, say I don't have good taste in cigars or whatever, but that's my opinion on the Diesel after giving it a fair shot.

    Hey Jozer, I really hope that I don't have the same experience. I am getting some in a trade from Hays. I am really looking forward to trying them. I know in the past I haven't liked some cigars that others liked, and I absolutely loved some cigars other people didn't like. Taste is totally subjective, which is why we have so many wonderful cigars to choose from. If my father in law had his way, they would make the monte cristo number 2's and that would be all..lol

    I think part of the problem was that there was too much hype on this cigar, I also was waiting for a flavor explosion, it was good, but it didn't blow my socks off or anything.

    Yeah, that pretty much sums it up for me. Should have listened to Public Enemy when they said "don't beleive the hype". :)

    Yeah they are better with a few months on them, but they don't live up to the hype. I still have a half dozen of them, and because of the let down with them, they stand a good chance at seeing some serious aging now :)

    I don't think anybody has the right to tell you that you have a poor taste in cigars; it's subjective, and you've got one of the best palate I've seen on the forums. In fact, we have very similar tastes, from what I recall. However, the diesel, at it's price point, is fantastic in my opinion; I really dig the flavors, and the fact that they're all really well made. It's a cigar thats cheap enough for me to enjoy whenever, and I noticed that when I had my half a box (now since gone) I found myself almost always reaching for one.

    I'm about 1/3 through my second box. I like them a lot. Are they a complex smoke? No. Are theya good value for the price? Yes, I'd say so. They have good flavors, not great, and are reasonably priced. Not a special occasion smoke, but a good after lunch making sawdust in the shop smoke.

    Nope just had one so far. I have another one resting, going to give it another month. I'm right here with Joe and Krieg. Its good and quality but just not spectacular. Its just another average cigar, IMO. That doesn't mean its average to you.
