THE DIESEL UNHOLY COCKTAIL UNCHAINED

The Diesel Unholy Cocktail Torpedo is a 5 x 56 stick with the label on the foot. It is made with a Pennsylvania Maduro wrapper and Nicaraguan filler. It's genesis is a mystery to me. I've read that it's the creation of Rocky Patel and Augusto Reyes, but it's also been "credited" to AJ Fernandez.

This cigar is harsh, with flavors of day-old burnt toast and rank "earthy" flavors that pound you into submission. This puppy has as much right to be called a "cocktail" as a glass of sour milk. And those are its good points. Maybe it will get better with another 100 years of aging, but I'm glad that I won't be around to find out.

I find it hard to believe that it's made by AJ Fernandez, who makes the terrific San Lotanos and Man O' Wars, but even the great Bob Dylan wrote "If Dogs Run Free," so who knows?--Mamey
