Don Diego {Greek Mike}



Brand: Don Diego
Line: Torpedo
Length x Ring Gauge: 6 x 50
Country of Origin: Dominican Republic (Filler: Dominican Republic; Binder: Indonesia; Wrapper: USA/Connecticut Shade)
Strength: Medium
Date: May, 2002
If Padron (one of my favorite cigars) is the Chimay of medium bodied cigars, and Philly Blunt is the Schlitz of cigars then the Don Diego would be considered the Pabst Blue Ribbon. I write this with all sincerity as a Pabst Blue Ribbon fan (thank you Blue Velvet). If you are not too big on taste, but you want a nicotine fix then this cigar is for you. I consider this to be a step above a cigarette. Its a rather ho-hum cigar that doesn't really stand out. I do not harbor any ill content with this cigar.... I would smoke Don Diegos while recapping the events of a week among friends in a pool hall that could potentially be the setting of another Coen Brother's film.
Overall, as medium bodied cigars would go, I give this a 5/10
