Diesel Cigars: Masterpieces Crafted by Experts
The name Diesel has nothing to do with engines or jeans – rather, it represents an exclusive cigar brand. Diesel is a private label of Cigars International, which is part of General Cigar, a company under the umbrella of the Scandinavian Tobacco Group. The Diesel cigars are produced in Nicaragua by A. J. Fernandez. Despite the complex corporate structure, one thing is certain: absolute professionals are at work here.
The Perfect Partnership: Diesel and A. J. Fernandez
Connoisseurs know that A. J. Fernandez is synonymous with bold, full-bodied cigars. His Nicaraguan factory not only produces his own series but also manufactures exclusive lines for renowned brands. Alongside Diesel, other lines such as Man o’War, Sons of Anarchy, and Ave Maria are crafted here.
Diesel cigars are not meant for a light smoke in between – they are designed for aficionados of intense, aromatic blends. The premium tobaccos used come primarily from Nicaragua and are complemented by select fillers from other growing regions.
The Diesel Range at a Glance
The Unlimited Origin series is immediately recognizable by its striking red band and delivers bold flavors. This is due to its rich filler and the Ligero wrapper from Ecuador. The Barrel Aged series offers a unique refinement, as its tobaccos have been aged for several years in former bourbon barrels. A similar process was used for the Cask Aged cigars, where the binder leaves developed their unique aroma in sherry casks.
A true rarity is the Crucible series: Only 3,000 boxes were produced worldwide, with just 250 making it to the German market – a must-have for true aficionados!
