The KC/DW Review Series

[DeeDubya]

This evening I enjoyed a Rocky Patel Diesel Fuerte contrituted by Ashauler. I'm always excited to try another of Rocky's never-ending lineup of quality cigars. He has demonstrated his abilities over time to choose only the best manufacturers for his consignments. I have a tendancy to compare everything to his Vintage 1990 and 1992 which are so popular today that I'm sure you have tried one or both.

The Diesel Fuerte manufactured by Plasencia consists of a blend of Honduran and Dominican fillers and a Costa Rican Maduro wrapper. Private labeled by Rocky and CI it is another good choice when choosing a maduro. I really enjoyed the sweet finish and hearty flavors without harshness. Here again another good everyday smoke for the maduro lovers. Notably I found it to have ample flavor and complexity without the bitter aftertaste that sometimes accompanies a maduro.
I'm a little uncertain about the bright orange band with droplets of diesel oil on it. But I'm sure there is a good explanation.

Kudos to RP, CI and Ashauler.

On a scale of 1-10 I rate this cigar 8.5.
