# Diesel Review #3 by duskinwade

My 2nd AJ Fernandez created cigar! Prelight: deep leather scent. Pretty dark broadleaf wrapper. 1/3: Started pretty spicy and leathery right away. Spicy like black pepper on the back of the tongue. 2/3: Spiciness leveled out a bit to a more leathery espresso taste. By duskinwade on January 12 2022 11:39:55 AM

## Diesel Corona 5 x 42

My 2nd AJ Fernandez created cigar!

Prelight: deep leather scent. Pretty dark broadleaf wrapper.

1/3: Started pretty spicy and leathery right away. Spicy like black pepper on the back of the tongue.

2/3: Spiciness leveled out a bit to a more leathery espresso taste.

3/3: Continued coffee and bold but smooth spiciness.

Strongest cigar I’ve had in a while! The Corona shape contributed to that I believe. I paired this with a black decaf coffee since I’m about to go to bed. Great relaxing smoke after work. I typically prefer a bit lower on the strength scale, but I easily handled this with a full belly of food. Great value as I payed less than $2 a stick for this.
