Anyone aged a Diesel?

[bigbwalls]

I smoked my first Diesel today and rather enjoyed it. Good burn and nice flavors. I picked up some leather, spice, and a woody note. I'm sure with some age these babies will be even better. I will definitely set some aside to test my hypothesis.

I would say age begins at 1 year minimum od "rest" so if a cigar has been out for 9 months none of them are aged. Maybe well rested, but not aged. IMO.

(I did not write IMHO, because I am many things, but have never been very HUMBLE)..hehe

yep, agree there. and that is for sure a minimum.

I agree with you on this one. I like the La Herencia Cubana Oscuro Fuerte much better which is blended by AJ with a PA wrapper just like the Diesel.

These came out in November if I remember correctly, so I think that is about 7 months rest for the few I have.

+11111.

I enjoy the HCOF much more than the Diesel. I have a few Diesels (somewhere between 3-6) sitting buried in a humi for about the past 5-6 months, might consider giving one another shot in another month or two just to see if anything positive has occured. Didn't care for the first three that I burned much at all.

I LOVE these things, but I have only had one... But that one was like smoking a chocolate bar

Well, if you mean it had no flavor change from start to finish (ie boring) I'd tend to agree.

Yes, if they let it age/rest, then the effcts of it will still be present. And yes 6 months will change a cigar, but to callit age doesn't sound right to me.

"Man this Cigar is Awesome!!, it's been aging for a whole 6 months." yep I'm right..that sounds funny.


"Man This cigar is so much better after let it rest for a few months." Seems a little less pretentious.

Never thought I would say this, but...I agree with Dave. :smokingbo

Never Aged one, but i let one sit for about a month and

"La Herencia Cubana Oscuro Fuerte much better" +1

However, the Diesel flavor improves quite a bit with a few months "rest". I did not care for my first, ignored them for a while, and now find I like them. So we'll see what a few months more does for them.

Too new of one to have any age on them. Let a few sit for 3 -5 years then decide.
