Hola Bs & Ss of the leaf!

Whats the deal on these, I understand they're made by RP, are they available yet? Is the name indicative of it's flavor, anyone have a single to trade?

I smoked a few a while back. I didn't like them much. Pretty much one dimensional, and that was not an especially tasty dimension to me. They would probably be rated as medium in strength.

Ahh, nothing to get excited over huh Racoon? We're they under $5 a stick, no B&M in my area has them.

"available yet?"

I thought these had been discontinued (again) years ago.

Are they comming back for a third round?

I know this guys were taken off the market some time ago, but they are included in the RP full tilt sampler.

I noticed them in the sampler too and was a little puzzled myself.

Here's what I remember - how accurate it is, i don't know:

There was an "original" Diesel which was eventually taken off the market. This was replaced by an amped up version known as "Diesel Fuerte". Production on this Diesel Fuerte died off about 2-3 years ago I think (maybe longer).

About a year ago, you could still find a few sizes of the Diesel Fuerte in CI's catalog.

Hey, take it easy on me Gerbil, I still have that Noob Cigar smell. I was unenlightened to the facts you present...and no, I didn't see that they were being rereleased, I just saw a picture of a box of them and it said made by Rocky Patel, so I thought I'd inquire. Thanks for the info. 😉

Chupacabra, I think I still have some robustos from a box I got from CI over a year ago. If you want to try some, I could look to see if I have any left (they would be at my main office, and I'm home right now).

RE #7-

Chulo,

I wasn't beating you up. I was kind of puzzled myself, hence my first post.

My second post was expanding on what Lincoln had to say.

I've never tried one, but I've heard people say that after 2+ years in the humidor, they turn into really great cigars, so anything you get now should be about that old.

i liked the diesels...they are basically extinct...they were cheap but decent...have not had one in forever (2 years)...but i was a little more green then.

dank I bit as well. The old diesels were brutally awful off the truck so got a bad reputation around here. I bought a fiver on the cheap so I didn't really care. Many of us stuck the rest of our fivers at the bottom of the humi and picked them up a year or two later and....

cursed ourselves for not having bought several boxes of a strong and very flavorful smoke.

The new diesel is supposed to be different--I for one hope it is exactly identical to the old one. 🙂

Chulo,

I still have some with about 2 years age on them. I think they are a pretty good smoke. Lots of flavor, but beware they "turn" very quick. and there's no getting anything out of them once they start "turnin." I have the robutos and they're good for about 25 minutes. For me anyways.

Drop me a line.
