So as some may know I love almost everything AJ Fernandez creates. My favorites being the various Diesels and Man O War lines, they are actually the only type of cigars that I stock up on(ha though it is not hard since they are not hard to come by and are not expensive, perfect for a starter like me). WELL, I had been hearing through the CIGAR.COM newsletter about the upcoming Diesel Crucible:
"Diesel Crucible: A limited, one time run of about 10,000 cigars. We cant reveal all of the secrets that make this cigar so rare, but one component is a very special filler leaf grown in Honduras. At the onset of the embargo, as tobacco growers and cigar makers fled Cuba, many came to Honduras in search of new land. Most initially settled in an area outside Copan, Honduras where they grew tobacco for several years due to the climate which they felt most rivaled their native Cuba. However, after several successful crops, disease and mold set in, thus rendering the land unusable, forcing growers into regions in other parts of Copan, Jamastrán and Talanga. Almost a decade ago, one particular grower returned to the region, planting various test crops with different seeds engineered to resist the diseases plaguing the tobaccos decades before. After years of failure, the first successful test crop was harvested in 2010 and the results were fantastic. The entire first crop from 2010 was purchased by AJ Fernandez and some was set aside just for Diesel Crucible. This tobacco is strong, robust and a great throwback tobacco from a bygone era that imparts a unique taste. Diesel Crucible will come in only one size, a large torpedo thats complex and rich with competing flavors ranging from spice and earth to leather and nuts. Crucible takes Diesel to a whole new level."
I was just wondering if anyone knows of a release date for it or know anything else about this upcoming smoke. THANKS.
