If you are a diesel fan

And have not tried the "Hair of the Dog" Robusto cigar, you are missing out.
Lots of flavor, but no so much "in your face".
At first, it does get in your face a little. A little bite and boldness, but then.............
The flavors go everywhere.
And I really found myself wanting the cigar to last so much longer, which is strange for me, because I tend to get down toward the end and my span of attention starts to disappear.

This is one I'm putting on my "add to humi" list.

I have a ton of Diesels, but had never had the Hair of the Dog.

Good to hear. I have a couple in the cooler resting, but haven't heard many good things about them. There was a recent thread somewhere about Diesel's and a couple people specifically bashed them. I like most of the Diesel blends with some age, so have to see how long they have been in there. Will let you know.

Lol, I was thinking the same thing. Goes to show that it really is a matter of personal taste.

I like these a lot. That said, I could see why a fan of UHC would bash them. I don't find them at all similar and it's kind of surprising that HotD is a Diesel at all. So if someone was looking for basically UHC but with a twist/different wrapper, I think they'd be disappointed.

As was said, if you go in with a pre-conceived notion that it's a Diesel, then you will get lost on the cigar.
It's not your ordinary Diesel and I'd even go so far as to say it's a completely different critter.
I totally expected it to be like all the rest of the Diesels and once I got about 10 minutes into it, it pulled my full attention to it.
