Diesel Unlimited Maduro D.5 review

[Usafvet509]

Appearance is matte with a slight shine, firm to touch with some visible seams. Wrapper aromas are peppery, earthy, tobacco and molasses. Foot smells of black pepper, spice, tobacco and leather. Cold draw is of dark earth, leather and cocoa.
1st third: Tastes are of a heavy note, leather, cedar and espresso. Aromas are spicy, cedar and a subtle caramel sweetness.
2nd third: Tastes are of leather, cedar, espresso and a bitter cocoa. Aromas are hickory, caramel and coffee.
In the transition to the final third, a purge and relight brought a big cordite note. What the?!
Final third : Tastes and aroma are identical to the previous third.
Thoughts : a very heavy-handed stick, with the classic AJ Fernandez touches. I like it quite a bit, but it's been a minute since I had one. I took a heavy Nic punch to the gut from the 2nd third on. Medicinal dose of cherry cheesecake ice cream
