I recently began smoking a few boxes of Diesel Unlimited and Man O' War Ruination I got in 2012, about 5.5 years ago.
Holy crap are they good. Far, FAR beyond what they were when new. Some of the best cigars I've ever smoked. As a result, I've recently loaded up on these two, laying in very large numbers of them, to enjoy about 5 years from now.
No idea about any MoW Ruination changes since then, but I notice the Diesel Unlimited's wrapper has very quietly changed from "Honduran ligero" (at launch) to "Ecuador Habano ligero" now. I sure hope that doesn't cause them to age less-well, but I'll let you know in 2023!
The Rage is quite good, yes, but needs some rest, at least 6 months IMO. The Diesel Hair of the Dog was blended by AJ and was excellent, but they've since totally reblended it, with no mention of AJ (so it might be someone else who did it) and apparently they're not just minor changes but major ones. I haven't tried the new version yet, but I've heard others say it's good.
Also I've been enjoying the Diesel Unlimited Maduros lately. That's a potent, yet delicious, stick. Pennsylvania-grown broadleaf maduro wrapper for the win!
