I have seen some information on them but haven't had one yet. I was on the fence with the first Diesel. To be fair I only smoked one and have a few resting. I will be checking thess out and look forward to hearing if anyone has tried them yet.

So I had my first Diesel Unlimited beli right off the truck. Wow, this cigar has incredible aging potential. Nice sheen to the wrapper. Densely packed, firm in hand. Nice wrapper. Started off spicy, earthy and lleathery. Then hit the 1/2 way mark with some ammonia (of course), but could still taste the flavors, last 1/3rd spice settled down and still had some of those nice earthy/leathery undertones. I'd say after 2-3 months this will be a killer cigar. Can't wait to try another after a month or so to see how much it's changed.

I wonder if a lot of these cigars have the ammonia taste to them? Seems like they should have done a better job of letting them sit before sending out.

That's my finance's litmus test to see if I had a bad cigar. If my breath smells like cat pee she knows I didn't like it

Alex, any idea when more of these might be coming in? I was gonna toss a few 6x60s in with my DD order today, and the pickings are pretty slim already.

Alex Svenson

Fear not, a new shipment is on my loading dock and should be in stock tomorrow!!

I have not gotten too many young qualities from this cigar. They had 45 days in the aging room in Nicaragua for sure. Like most cigars, always best to let them rest in humi. Perhaps sitting in a hot truck upset them a bit. I have been plowing trough about 3 of these a day lately.

Just got my shipment info last night! However, it's been shipped through UPS and I have wait almost another week to get them...I hate UPS.

Well I'll let mine rest a week or two then try them again... the one I smoked today felt a little under par.

YES....they're still slightly green. The box the packaging date of 8/20/10, so they're still premature. They still need lots of rest. Bought a hygrometer with the shipment and it said 95 degrees when I unwrapped it OTT and I ordered them this past Friday. Won't break out another until the end of September to get more flavor notes. I'm sure Alex has had a few that HAS been sitting around for a month or so in ideal conditions, so of course they'll taste better ;-b Considering these were blended and rolled just a few months ago, one would think by the end of this year this batch should be fuggin' awesome.

That's what's great about being so close to ccom headquarters/warehouse in Northern VA, I get them next day pretty much all the time UPS! USPS will take an extra day or two. And yes, ordered them from the sister because they had them available first and I got free shipping on the deal....but that doesn't mean I wouldn't buy them from ccom on a good deal in the future! I know both ccom and CI have the same parent company, and know both Alex and Steve (over at CI) had a hand in blending and tasting this particular cigar back in the late spring this year with AJ in Nicaragua. Either way win win for us cigar smokers.

Just got my order of 3 Belicosos a few minutes ago. I don't have the time to smoke one now, but maybe later tonight.

Got some in last night. Really weird thing happened. The D.7s somehow got water in the open end of the cello. Don't think the humipillow burst because the other sticks were ok. Fortunately, the water didn't appear to get into the cigar much so I'm just going to let these sit for a bit.

I had another one today to see if my own hype was worthy. I enjoyed it just as much...getting another box seeing how well the first box of regular diesels came around. What willpower I have.

coachjamie

I have now had 3 of these and they have all 3 been great in my opinion! quality burn, plenty of smoke, awesome flavor
