Date: June 25, 2011
Notes:
Diesel, a form of petroleum, an internal combustion engine, Kevin Nash, over-priced jeans and now, a full bodied cigar.
After a hearty barbeque, and copious amounts of Kentucky bourbon (coke + wild turkey = tasty), this cigar was the spicy, sucker-punch of awesomeness. The thick and hearty filler (from Niacargua) and the smooth Honduran wrapper make this cigar one of the best blends AJ Fernandez has put together.
The cigar itself was very well constructed, with a consistent, even draw. It left a beautifully long white ash. The taste was also very consistent throughout the smoke, even the last third was not too hot.
Smoking this cigar is like eating another steak after a steak dinner. You need to take a seat afterwards and digest. It’s a wonderful cigar that can be complemented with some “light” reds (i.e. Pinot Noir), a Kentucky Bourbon (the smokiness is a great contrast to the full body cigar) or even a beer (i.e. brown ales or a porter).
Overall: 9.0 out of 10.
