The Diesel brand has always been a big seller, especially at Cigar International, where it was exclusively sold for many years until recently. The cigar line is now available through cigar shops with expanded offerings. The newest edition is the Esteli Puro, blended by AJ Fernandez using his own tobacco from the Esteli region of […]

IPCPR 2019: Diesel
In the Diesel section of the General Cigar booth, Justin Andrews tells us about the new Diesel Whiskey Row PX Sherry Cask, and how it differs from the original Diesel Whiskey Row.

Diesel Whiskey Row Sherry Cask Robusto

It’s once time again for another issue of Brian’s The Week In Smoke. In case this is your first Week in Smoke, be advised that it covers many (though not necessarily all) of the cigars I’ve smoked in the past week (or the past month, or however long it has been since the last issue), […]

The Diesel cigar line is well known for being a stout cigar that was very popular with cigar smokers, but was only available online at Cigars International or CIgar Bid which is a subsidiary of General Cigar Company. Recently, General Cigar Company has moved the Diesel line out of being online only to a regular […]
IPCPR 2017: Complete Digest
At long last, the marathon of IPCPR 2017 coverage is complete. It took a little longer than expected to get them all posted, but then, we filmed a few more interviews than we did last year. About a dozen more, in fact. That included a big expansion of videos covering products (and topics) related to, […]
IPCPR 2017: Diesel
We talked to Justin Andrews about the Diesel Grind as our 2017 IPCPR tour of the General Cigar booth continues. A lot of our viewers will recognize the name Diesel, as a product that A.J. Fernandez blends, but not one you associate with the General Cigar family of products. That changed this year, as General […]
