Diesel Hair of the Dog Churchill – CLUB EXCLUSIVE

Diesel cigars have one of the best reputations in the business and so does the mastermind behind the brand, Abel “A.J.” Fernandez. He is known for Man O’ War, Rocky Patel’s Fusion, Man O’ War Ruination and ITC 10th Anniversary, among other stellar sticks. The Diesel Hair of the Dog went out of production a few years ago, but we love this cigar and were thrilled to be able to work with Diesel to bring it back specifically for our members; you will not be able to find this cigar anywhere else and once it’s gone, it’s gone! Hailing from Nicaragua, this stunner comes dressed in a golden brown habano wrapper, while underneath lies a thick San Andres binder from Mexico and Nicaraguan long-fillers. Together, this one of a kind stogie lends medium to full flavors of pepper, wood, toast, and spice. You can also expect lots of smoke with almost a two hour smoking time, so sit back, relax, and enjoy it out on the patio (or deck!) with a shandy.

The Nicaraguan cigar industry originated when Cuban cigar makers escaped the revolution and re-established their livelihood in Nicaragua with Cuban-seed tobacco. Blessed with dark, rich soil, their new home was ideal for tobacco cultivation and Nicaragua quickly became known for cigars that rivaled Cuban quality. Unfortunately, revolution and war came to Nicaragua in the 1980s and devastated the industry, but it’s rebounded dramatically and is once again producing tobacco considered by many to be the finest in the world.

The Esteli Valley is in many ways the heart of Nicaraguan production and is known for its very powerful and spicy tobacco. The Jalapa Valley produces arguably the finest tobacco in the country: somewhat sweeter and less intense than Esteli, but extremely complex. The tobacco of the Condega Valley is often described as a blend of the other two regions.
