Has a bite at initial burn, but it mellows out rather quickly. I bought the to compare to afuente. I think they are solid and, for the price, a solid buy. These are really good for friends who come over and want a cigar. If you want them to have a good burn but don’t want to waste a top shelf this is great. I’ll likely buy these again.

AJ's blends are nearly always right in my wheelhouse. The Diesel Esteli Puro is no exception. Bold with some bite, but not overly spicy. A nice balance. Very good construction. Cigar remains firm with a tight ash.

The draw is strong and powerful, enjoyed with a strong whiskey myself. Had a nice even burn all the way down to the nub. The lasting smell left afterwards had a good aroma, complimented by a non smoker who got in my truck afterwards. Nice amount of leather with a mixture of wood. Runs neck and neck with Whiskey Row Sherry Cask as my favorite smoke from the Diesel line!

I typically enjoy Connecticut cigars, but this has been my favorite of the diesel sampler this far. I don't think it is as dark as the scale above suggests. 4/5 stars bc I don't think it burned evenly, but still a nice cigar. Will buy again

An absolute gem of a Diesel. Awesome burn and flavor. I'm an everyday Diesel smoker and love alot of their blends. This one is very good, not harsh with a good draw. Got them on sale so that was a bonus also.

Easily the bets Diesel I have had. Great construction, smooth even draw, impeccable burn. Fairly typical Nico Puro flavors. Spicy, earthy goodness. I am on my third box. They are fantastic middle range priced smoke.

Tyler at the Fort Worth location turned me onto these. New to the cigar world and thought I needed mild to enjoy. Wrong! This cigar is great with and old fashion or a coffee. This is my go to cigar and I have enjoyed them up to 1 hr and 45 minutes. Great smoke and good conversation. Bought these for my daughter's wedding.

Absolutely one of my favorite cigars and cigar maker. This stick packs a lot of punch. From beginning to end you will find a consistent draw, even burn and a pleasant aroma that will fill the room. Swirl the smoke to taste all the great notes and give you a very lasting impression long after your last draw.

Prefer most other diesel sticks over this one, Not saying it's not a good smoke, but I need to wait a few days between each one. Good flavor on the strong side. If you smoke it first thing in the morning don't plan on doing much for a while

Breaker One-Nine, Diesel comin’ through

Richard M.

Diesel Estelí Puro Toro 6x54
Burn Time: 2 hours (slow smoked due to the strength)


“Breaker-breaker-one-nine, this here’s the CigarMagician coming at ya from the information superhighway, haulin’ another load of cigar knowledge straight to yer’ front door good buddy.” [Translation: Listen up friends, Rich here from the internet with another cigar review directly to you]. “So slide into your home-twenty, slam on the jake brake, and get your ears on”, [Sit down, stop what you are doing, and pay attention] because today I am talking about Diesel, a brand that has been known for full bodied cigars, and this one is no exception.  

More iconic than my “K-Whopper Diesel Big Rig” [Kenworth Truck], the big Diesel brand made by the big guy AJ Fernandez is something to behold. “What’s the 10-20 on the make-up of this machine” [where are the tobaccos for this cigar from]…it is a Nicaraguan wrapper from his La Lilia farm, a binder from his San José farm, and fillers from several plots across Estelí, including the famous San Lotano farm, The Diesel Estelí Puro “delivers on all cylinders” [it’s good].  

Weighin’ in at a full 9 out of 10 body this cigar immediately greets you with black pepper on the smooth, pre-light draw. Additionally I was getting fresh-cut green wood on the pre-light. This ain’t no “plain brown wrapper” [unmarked police car], however it has a nice smooth and brown wrapper, clad in a tasteful black and silver band and a cedar sleeve. The cigar was evenly rolled, no soft or tight spots noted, and the wrapper and cap were evenly applied

Once I got “my heater’s a-glowin’”, [lit the cigar] the black pepper remained and I was greeted with red pepper, and now the fresh cut wood was unmistakable. “Burnin’ more rubber” [enjoying more of the cigar], the first third was giving me everything I really personally enjoy in a cigar: pepper, spice, woodiness, and toward the end of the first third some wet earth like a walk in a forest was developing. The first third did have a relatively long finish of sweet cocoa and natural tobacco sweetness. The retro-hale during at this point is strictly “hammer down”, [full speed, lots of flavor] lots of pepper and spice.

As this cigar was “blowin’ my doors off”, [passing my expectations and many other cigars] the second third began to transition into slightly sweeter pepper, like a farm fresh green pepper, sweet and spicy. The retro-hale settled down a little bit and the finish shortened up a bit as well. I would say it still has a nice amount of pepper on the retro and the finish was still flavorful, but more into a medium finish, still with cocoa and natural tobacco sweetness. The wood note also became more of a charred cedar.  

As I “rounded the bend toward the final yardstick” [got toward the final third of this cigar], did this cigar calm down? “Negatory” [no], it stays pedal to the metal! The pepper and spice remain and I think the dried red pepper is back as well as more noticeable sweet cocoa, possibly even milk chocolate at this point. I will say I found it difficult to pin-point other subtle notes under all the pepper, but I could tell they were there, including a bit of dried fruit and possibly even coffee, however I was really enjoying the spice and pepper. The retro-hale remains fuller and stronger and the finish remains medium.  

If you love full flavored and full body cigars, grab “a few green-stamps from your moth holder” [Grab some money from your wallet] and be sure to pick up a convoy of the Diesel Estelí Puro. I find them best enjoyed with a Rye Old Fashioned or even a Manhattan. The Old Fashioned brings out more of the subtle notes and calms the pepper just a bit, and the Manhattan does the opposite, and mutes the sweetness and really enhances the spice and pepper. I did have to touch the cigar up one time but it immediately corrected itself with a quick touch up. You definitely don’t have to be a Diesel trucker to enjoy the Diesel Estelí Puro, although it would probably help to understand half of the lingo I used.  

So we will see you on the flip side, until then…keep the sunny side up, the rubber side down, and the bugs off your…glass…I’m gone…[Be safe…bye-bye for now]
