Whenever I am in the mood for a high-octane Nicaraguan smoke to enjoy during a slow afternoon, I turn to Diesel Esteli Puro cigars. Blended by the famous cigar maker A.J. Fernandez in conjunction with Justin Andrews of S.T.G., these gems are some of the most unique cigars on the market and brimming with incredibly rich flavors.
The word “puro” gets tossed around a lot in the world of premium cigars. It means that all the tobaccos in a particular cigar are all from a single country, for example, a Nicaraguan puro is made entirely with tobaccos from Nicaragua. Diesel Esteli Puro cigars take it a step further. These gems are Esteli puros, meaning that every single leaf was grown in the Esteli region of Nicaragua.
Tobacco from Esteli is lauded for its boldness and strength, but not so much for its complexity. However, A.J. Fernandez is not one to back away from a challenge. Using expertly aged tobaccos grown on his Esteli farms and covered with a top-quality Nicaraguan wrapper, the Diesel Esteli Puro changes by serving up a smoke that flawlessly combines power with elegance.
With an incredibly rich medium-full bodied profile, a cascade of chocolate, pepper, cinnamon, leather, roasted nuts, earth, cedar, and sweetness on the finish pours from the cap over my palate. The construction is top-notch too, as good as I can expect from Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez. If you enjoy medium-full bodied cigars as much as I do, these treats will be an excellent addition to your humidor.
