This one’s for the bourbon lovers. The Diesel Whiskey Row Raceking is a collab between AJ Fernandez and Rabbit Hole Distillery—and yeah, it’s as cool as it sounds. This limited-edition Toro is handcrafted in Nicaragua and features a unique twist: the Nicaraguan binder is aged in Rabbit Hole Raceking bourbon barrels. Wrapped in an Ecuadorian Habano leaf with Nicaraguan fillers, this is a full-bodied powerhouse that doesn’t hold back. Flavor-wise, expect rich notes of cocoa, nuttiness, and earth, all layered with a subtle bourbon influence that adds depth without being gimmicky. Pair it with Eagle Rare 10-Year Bourbon and you’ve got a match made in Kentucky heaven. The caramel, oak, and vanilla from the bourbon sync perfectly with the cigar’s dark, earthy richness. Bottom line: bold, complex, and built for sipping slow—this is one to savor when you’ve got time to kick back and enjoy the ride.
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.
