The Diesel Vintage Series cigar follows in the footsteps of its predecessors for being a bold smoke that pushes the boundaries of what a cigar can be. It is a collaboration between Justin Andrews of Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) and acclaimed cigar crafter AJ Fernandez. AJ has been developing blends for the Diesel brand since its inception in 2009. The cigar uses aged filler leaves from Jalapa, Nicaragua and a Habano binder from Esteli, Nicaragua capped off with a savory Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper. The tobacco for the binder and filler were grown on farms owned by Fernandez. The cigar was crafted with the intent to give aficionados a full experience of what vintage tobacco is all about.

Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

Medium
Wrapper Color
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper
Mexican San Andres Maduro
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Mexican tobacco is very dark and the best leaves can be used as maduro wrappers. San Andres Maduro is a thick, medium bodied dark leaf, also called San Andres Morron. Like Connecticut Broadleaf, San Andres Maduro is stalk cut and used for binder and wrapper.
Binder
Nicaraguan Esteli
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
The Esteli region of Nicaragua is well-regarded for producing some of the finest tobacco in the world. Tobacco grown in this area is valued for its aroma, flavor, and strength.
Habano
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Filler
Jalapa
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
AJ Fernandez
Cuban expatriate AJ Fernandez produces handmade cigars in Esteli, Nicaragua at the Tabacalera Fernandez factory. Fernandez learned everything he knows about tobacco and cigarmaking from his late grandfather, cigar legend Alejandro Robaina.

Lots of cocoa and leather. I got spice hits throughout as well. Another winner small ring gauge cigar from Diesel and AJ who knows how to make them.

Luis B.01/03/2024About: Diesel Vintage Series Toro 6" * 52

This was not the cigar for me. Taste is subjective so maybe give it a try. Not horrible, but not amazing. Perfect draw and smoke output though

Carlo W.12/29/2023About: Diesel Vintage Series Toro 6" * 52

Full bodied maduro. Great construction, clearly defined notes of pepper and leather. Works well with Bourbon or Cognac.
