How does it compare to the original Diesel?

It's not really fair to compare right off the truck, but i'd buy a box of these again over the orig if they rest up the way I think thay will.

Mine will be at the office in the morning. Will smoke one sometime this week, then rest the remaining 4. Can't wait either.

I'd go with them being a bit more spice. I plan on smoking a reg then a shorty to compare some time this week. Maybe even a review on WBfiller.

yeah...just had one...and i will agree...with maybe 6-12 months of rest....I think these will be freakin awesome....a tad bit more spice and even seemed to have a tighter draw but once again, these need a tad more rest...

Had one last night. I loved it. Everything was better than I would have expected. Slightly more spice than the original. Great draw, lots of smoke and probably the best burn on any stick I've smoked. Atleast top 3. Lasted a good hour and enjoyed every minute of it. Like Joey said I can't wait to fire one up in a few months.

I had one last night and I wasn't super impressed with it. Can't really put my finger on it but the stick seemed stagnant and kinda boring. I should try one with more time on it later.

I had a Diesel Stout last night which is a 6x60, a buddy of mine go the chunktastic 6x60 sampler from the other site and it has 4 Diesel Stouts in it. It was freaking awesome is all I have to say!! I cannot believe they do not sell this vitola separately! Seemed to me to taste very similar to the original Diesel but with a lot more flavor and bit more of a buzz! Burned nice and even and very cool, I have to get some of these!

I don't know if I am going to even try the Shorty. I love the Unholy Cocktail and, everything else being equal, find myself preferring torpedos, belicosos, etc over robusto, toro, etc w/ round ends. Because of this I can't imagine prending the same amount for a box with 6 less sticks of the Shorty. If they get the 5ers eventually down to what the UHC 5ers go for, I might try one, but I'm not rushing out to be an early adopter on this one.

For those who have not, try the Shorty. I reviewed it on Ubi, and it was really good. I like this immediately over the Unholy Cocktail. I think it might have a bit more ligero? Not sure, but it has a bit more kick upfront. Flavorwise, if you took the UC flavor profile, and just added layers, it's like that. There is everything, but more so. I agree with the bitterness, smoked a pair and each got a bit bitter toward the end but some rest should cure this. I will be getting more of these for sure. Pictures are all up on the site, too.

had one last night 1 day off the truck. i really enjoyed it. very spicey and bold. i love the big ring gauge. i too agree w/ the bitterness at the end. i have 4 more resting. great stick

I too had one of these as I waited out a massive rain storm today at a friend's house. I was amazed at how peppery it could be without blowing my palate to Kingdom Come, and after the pepper it was just a phenominal smoke, and I too had bitterness in the final 3rd of it but I won't detract that from the overall enjoyability of this stick.

Just had my first shorty. this thing is spicy all the way thru. just when i thought it was letting up it came right back. didnt have any burn issues. i have to agree by the time i got to the band it was a little bitter. got a few more resting , maybe it will get better. if you havent tried it. i recommend it!

Had one this past weekend. It was awesome, to say the least. It's like a Diesel x 2. Great burn. Lots of thick chewy smoke. Smooth, yet very spicy (if that makes sense....). I like this one better than the Diesel, which I almost hate to say! Thanks to the BOTL who hit me with it in the cigar lottery. Much appreciated!

wow, looks like it's getting some favorable reviews. Got one coming in a trade soon, can't wait.

Got 10 of these little guys coming my way...I sure do hope I like them or they'll be going out as sniper rounds.

It IS a Diesel, just a Shorty rather than an Unholy Cocktail.

I'd gladly be your target if that's the case Joe ^ ^

Noted. I'm sure a few will find their way out regardless, sneaky little guys.

I just wanted to say. I've now went through about half of my box of these and love them. I wasn't sure ordering the box without trying a few first, but it was well worth it. I will be ordering more of these when I run out.

I smoked a Shorty two nights ago. This was really fantastic. I'm very impressed - more so than the Unholy Cocktail. Funny thing is I didn't find it spicier like many others have said here. I found it more rich in flavor, and very, very well balanced. I've got 4 more, and sadly several of those are promised to a few guys here. heh, I'm starting to feel really protective of my last four!

I had my first Shorty last night! What a great stick!! I did not find it spicier either. It may have gotten a little bit towards the end, but it was so good I burnt my fingers smoking it as far as I could! Perfect burn and draw with a punch cut. I believe the Diesel UC and Shorty are my 2 favorite sticks right now!

I didn't get the extra spice either. But it's a really good smoke! Sadly, a few of mine snuck out in packages as well, and I only have two left. I see another order in my near future.

I'm glad this post got bumped. I love the UHC and I thought the Shorty was just a UHC in a different size. Glad to know that it's even better than the UHC. I think I will have to visit this and the Unlimited soon.
