The Diesel cigars company brand portfolio consists of Diesel Whiskey Row cigars, a medium bodied extravagance oozing with earth, oak, chocolate, leather, and hints of smoky sweet bourbon. Diesel Whiskey Row Sherry Cask features a spicy Brazilian binder that has been aged in barrels that previously held Rabbit Hole bourbon. For more information about this cigar, check out our Diesel Whiskey Row Sherry Cask cigar review on Embers & Insights! Diesel Esteli Puro is made entirely of Nicaraguan tobacco from the country’s fertile Estelí region. It’s a medium-full bodied smoke with rich tasting notes of earth, espresso, leather, and white pepper. Diesel Cigars are one of the many reasons why every AJ Fernandez creation is always in high demand among smokers that know the difference between just a good and a great cigar.
One of Diesel’s newer lines sums up the process of AJ Fernandez incredibly well. The line, called Sunday Gravy, is a quarterly release from the company that introduces new sizes and blends each time it comes out. One example, the Rosamarino, is a combination of Nicaraguan wrapper binder and filler that produces a flavor profile of espresso and pepper along with a dry breakfast cereal note. It’s called Sunday Gravy as a nod to the Italian tradition of making a red sauce—sometimes referred to as a gravy—that will take the entirety of the day. It’s not until the sauce has reached its peak sweetness that it’s ready to be removed and incorporated into the meal. The same can be said with Fernandez and Diesel’s co-founder Justin Andrews. Andrews said of the line, via the company’s website:
“AJ’s process of blending cigars always reminds me of how my mom cooked her Sunday sauce slowly over a low flame, knowing she had the luxury of being able to cook all day on a Sunday to get it just right,” Andrews said.
Another part of the Diesel Sunday Gravy line that delivers on the Diesel experience is that most of the cigars retail for less than $5. This commitment to a time honored tradition, expertly sourced tobacco, a lengthy, thoughtful blending process and bringing it to the masses at an affordable price is part of the reason why Diesel is a people’s favorite and one of the top-selling cigars in our repertoire.
