Tonight... Diablo

[TheVitaleMob]

Hey guys. I just enjoyed a Diablo with about 9 months of age on it. Definitely packed a big punch. If the xXx is an exquisite sauce made from the habanero, this is equivalent to just eating the damn pepper. This cigar was very spicy, and one dimensional. I would imagine from the name of this stick that this was the intention. Great spice, one vein inside the filler, but did not affect the experience. One thing to note, the ash from the binder was that nice grey that we have all come to know and love, but the ash from the filler was dead white. It reminded me of pumice for some reason. A good smoke if you like the profile. I hear that they are being discontinued and repackaged as Cohiba XO or something like that. If this is true, it's maybe a good idea to pick them up for $6 instead of $19. Will definitely smoke again.

I love Diablos! They haven't made them in a while(discontinued) so they all have some age now. They are hard to find, too

I've only had one of these, but I enjoyed it. I didn't find it as spicy as you did though.

I actually thought, for a cigar named Diablo I thought it would be a bit spicier. But oh well. Solid 'gar though IMO.
