News From Nicaragua

I am in Miami on my way down to Nicaragua where I am going to be for the next week or so. I will be meeting with someone who has a reality TV show on one of the cable networks on Tuesday in Esteli. He is a big fan of one of the brands (you see him plowing throug a cigar or two on his show) and I am working with him to make him his own size in the line and it will also be for sale at Cigar.com later this summer. Once I post pics of us at the factory I will spoil who it is and what cigar brand it is. Until then I am going to leave you guys guessing. I will give you this hint, my big 6'5" 295lb frame is going to make us look like quite the odd couple.

I wasnt going to say anything, but the size Shorty and I are working on is a 4.5 x 60 in the Diesel line. He still as to smoke it and check it out but that is the going size so your prayers have been answered.

That will be an awesome Vitola !!!

Okay, so Alex, when are we getting started on my line? I hereby officially express interest.

Alex Svenson

what would you guys think about a Diesel 9 x 50 in a box of 5? Is that just over the top?

Holy effing cow...you've gotta be kidding me... I think I just went giggity giggity gone

Nine inches on such a full cigar would be insane, not sure if I'd ever be able to find a time to smoke one, and that would certainly develop differently. Would it be reblended to be a bit lighter, or how would that work? I'd be more interested in a diesel in a perfecto, box of five.

There is no such thing as a bad Diesel. I would try it.

I would say "yes please". I thought there was a double happiness 10x50.
Can we get a Diesel with a Habano Wrapper or maybe a barber pole PA and Habano Salomon Diesel.

Wow, I would love like a robusto or toro size barber pole, the habano and PA would be amazing, too. Great idea.

I'm no Svenson, but I know what I like. Good beer, good wings, and good sticks. The reason I say Habano on the 9" is because the PA and Maduro wrappers tend to overwhelm the palate with oil after about 6-7".

Mind, not a huge fan of the 9" (haha, that's what she said, etc) only because I feel like it's rare that they'd get to be smoked.

THAT IS ONE OF THE SINGLE GREATEST IDEAS I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!!! i would buy it

I think I would probably fall out after smoking that monster! Sounds like a challenge to me... An awesome test of one's manliness. Bring it on!

I have been looking for a cigar to put me on my @ss and haven't found one recently. It might take something like this to do it, so I say let's do it!

Use that as a marketing tool! If you are old and frail like urbi, you would be safe walking to a herd at night because you have a nightstick that is on fire! On the way home your kinda screwed though... He can take a cab home!

I like the perfecto idea muchly muchly !

Just a suggestion, a nine inch diesel should come with a lifetime man card!

I'd love to see a Perfecto as well.

How 'bout a Diesel Solomon? You could call it "The Marty"........... that's not MY name! Just sayin......

Jetmech_63

+1 for the Diesel Salomon....that sounds really interesting. Did they ever consider box pressing it? How about a Corona....that is actually my most liked size of MOW.

j0z3r

+1 for the corona, I like the way you think. Despite the trend for ring gauges to get bigger and bigger, I really like a smaller 42-48 ring cigar...maybe the Diesel as a 5.6x46 corona gorda would be nice.

fla-gypsy

Heck, who am I kidding, I'd smoke a Diesel in any freakin size, I aint picky!

I drove past a Papa Johns Pizza in the middle of a small town called Massiah. It was like my prayers were answered.

could you stop in there and ask if they are hiring gringos, if yes, some of my prayers could be answered too, lol.

I'll smoke any size Diesel. My second favorite, behind another of Senior Fernandez's blends, MOW Ruination. But I'd kill to see the 4.5 x 60. Basically a "nub" Diesel. That would be amazing.
