Diesel Unholy Cocktail Review
Diesel "Unholy Cocktail"
Belicoso 5 x 56 Pennsylvania Broadleaf Wrapper, w/ Nicaraguan Fillers Price Paid $3.00 (Cigar.com box/30 $99.95) There are a couple reviews of this one up already, but I wanted to add my own to the fold... Cigar.com has been really promoting this one lately, and like many of you, I took the opportunity to nab some when they came up on the daily deal. They arrived early this week, and while I usually wait a week or two to sample, I just couldn't hold out so I burned one on the porch this afternoon. First off, on inspection, these cigars are really quite handsome, especially for the price. The wrapper is really toothy, but the veins are not very pronounced. It is a nice dark chocolate color, with an ample, but natural oily sheen. It has a firm feel with no soft spots, and the cigar has a nice weight for its size. Looks good enough to smoke, so here goes; ![]() Initial burn; very smooth, with a predominant cocoa flavor, some spice, and a slight sweetness on the finish. ![]() After the first inch, the cigar really smooths out; picks up some coffee flavor, and a creamy finish... ![]() After the halfway mark, the cigar grows a bit in intensity, becomes more woody, with ample spiciness on finish, and these flavors continue till the end of the cigar. ![]() ![]() ![]() Overall Impression; Med-Full, semi-complex, with a couple changes. This is a good cigar. For 3$, a fantastic cigar. I would not hesitate to recommend this one to anyone who likes maduros. Of the maduros I'm most familiar with, I would draw closest comparison with an Oliva G Maduro or a C.A.O. Brazilia. ![]() On a side note, I couldn't help but notice the attention to detail on the band. On closer inspection, you can see they embossed the paper of the band with the same "toothy" texture of the cigar wrapper. Pretty cool. Enjoy!!!

Re: Diesel Unholy Cocktail Review
maybe a stupid question - but does this label have anything to do with the jeans brand? it's just that the logo they use remind me quite a lot of a logo I had on a tshirt a couple of years ago .. bugger that I don't have it anymore
nice pics, and nice review! ![]()

Re: Diesel Unholy Cocktail Review
I got a 5 pack of these from CI this week, and was debating on letting them sit for a bit or dive right in. After reading this review, I think I'll have to dive right in this afternoon. Great review, excellent pictures. Thanks.
