In recent years, the Diesel brand has climbed the ranks of popularity among the full-body cigar market, and with the release of the Grind line, it is sure to keep that momentum going. Mastermind blender AJ Fernandez has created a Nicaraguan powerhouse worthy of its name, but don't let that scare you; this stogie is equal parts strong and smooth. Sporting only a tiny blue footer band, the Diesel Grind lets its flavor do the talking. A bouquet of pepper, leather, earth and cedar will flood the senses, and priced at a level that anyone can afford, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better value in a quality full-bodied cigar anywhere.
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.

Back in great-grandma and grandma’s day, the family matriarchs would gather on an early Sunday morning and start prepping and slow cooking the old family recipe for the “Sunday Sauce” or “Sunday Gravy.” It was a meticulous process that could not be rushed. Much like crafting a memorable cigar. The Diesel Sunday Gravy is a limited-edition, seasonal release cigar that was inspired by this time-honored home-cooking tradition. Each quarterly release features a new blend and a new size. The Sunday Gravy is the first Diesel cigar to be offered by the Forge Cigar Company (which is part of Scandinavian Tobacco Group who also owns General Cigar Co.) The blends were developed by master cigar blender AJ Fernandez and Justin Andrews, Diesel’s Senior Brand Manager. The cigars are crafted at AJ’s Tabacalera Fernandez factory in Nicaragua.

Diesel Whiskey Row, made by AJ Fernandez in Nicaragua, is the latest brand that uses barrel aging to enhance the cigar’s profile. The Diesel Whiskey Row’s Mexican San Andrés binder leaves are aged in wooden barrels that previously contained Rabbit Hole bourbon. The Diesel Whiskey Row’s filler uses Nicaraguan tobacco that has been aged five to eight years. The cigar’s Ecuadorian habano wrapper has undergone a five-year aging process too. Contrary to what one might expect, barrel aging does not give the cigar an overpowering bourbon flavor. In fact, the Diesel Whiskey Row is a medium-strength cigar with strong notes of oak and leather. If you have ever wanted to experience a bourbon barrel-aged cigar, the Diesel Whiskey Row is great place to start.
