Diesel Unlimited d.X
Diesel Unlimited d.X 5.75"X56
Wrapper : San Andres Habano
Filler : Condega and Esteli Nicaragua
Prelight : This cigar has a firm pack, with a heavy feel and a slight barnyard aroma. Unfortunately, I took the cello off to take a picture for these reviews, and put it back on while I took the cigar outside. This was probably a mistake, and when I take it out to light it there's a 1"X.25" rip in the wrapper smack in the middle of the cigar. Probably caused by me and the cello. Anyway, no stopping now.
1/3 : Had to give this two cuts with my perfect cutter to get a good draw going. When I do, I get a decent amount of smoke with an easy draw. Medium full body right off the bat with a smooth smoke. No distinct flavors hit me but I get "deep" flavors that last on my tongue for a long time, very long finish. Some notes I picked up throughout this third where tobacco, nut and cocoa/very dark chocolate.
2/3 : No strength at all through the 2/3 point and on which is fine by me. The finish is very long and gets even "deeper", lasting with more intensity I guess. I enjoy a long finish when the flavors are good. A deep, woodsy note comes in and dominates the finish now. No pepper or spice at all, and I notice it's pairing really well with my 12yr Glenfiddich. There are a lot of flavors, not distinct, but they just smoothly go with each other. I'm done at a bit past the hour mark, so I won't put a 3/3 section in this review. This is because the wrapper is pretty much f#@ked at this point. As I was smoking it was unraveling a bit more and more, and I decided to put it down a little after this picture was taken. The burn was good throughout the cigar.
Overall : Will try this cigar out again. I enjoyed it the smooth smoke, flavors were good and I think it deserves a full smoke without me worrying about holding the wrapper together each time I take a puff.

Full-on Scraggly Bum
One of my favs, I agree with everything you said. It does say its a full strength but I also noticed it was a bit weak to what it was supposed to be but don't mind either. One of the things that keeps me coming back is the lack of pepper note and the smooth chocolate notes you had. I think you will be pleased if you give another one a shot. Awesome review!

Thanks very much! Yeah, I'll definitely be on the lookout to scoop up another one of these.
