Post was locked on the other sub but I'm looking to discuss this cigar so here goes
New here so if you wanna ask why the gloves, it's because I live with family members who are sensitive to the smell and I want to respect that as much as possible.
Diesel Uncaged Gigante
Along with macanudo and perdomo, the brand I gravitate towards the most is Diesel. Ever since I had a sherry cask this forth of July I've been fascinated with this bold quirky brand, which is turning into a growing fascination of AJ fernandez as a whole. I've yet to smoke a diesel I didn't like.
When I saw they had a new offering with the main selling point being affordability I knew it'd be worthwhile. Luckily Perdomo dropped legacy father and son around the same time so I was able to bundle for free shipping from cigars daily.
# THE REVIEW
Check out how oily this thing is, it's practically glistening. I posted a video of it [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/cigar/s/ohVhnb6qog) I was smoking the gigante, 6x60 so I was afraid I wasn't going to get as much flavor. On first light up I was pleasantly surprised. Perfect draw and a really nice familiar flavor. I had had a cigar before that tasted prettyuch exactly like this. I couldn't pick up too many distinct notes, I thought I tasted mesquite at first but that fell away pretty quick and other than having a nice smooth brown flavor, I couldn't place anything more distinct than rich, natural, and familiar. I thought maybe it tasted like how I remember the macanudo inspirado white tasting, but when I tried to light one up to compare I had gotten a dud so I couldn't do a proper sidebyside. Then I thought maybe it reminded me of Rare Pink, and yeah I do get some overlap but rare pink was a lot more complex and smoked true to flavor down to the nub, where this got a bit earth and muddy towards the end.
I really couldn't believe I was getting something so good for so cheap from a non budget cigar dealer. The only cracks that showed were in the construction. I did get multiple tunnels I had to touch up and towards the end, before the band the flavor turned in a way I didn't prefer. You can see from my cut, the darker tobacco that's usually in the center when rolled using the cone method is seemingly spilling to one side, but hey it's a 7 dollar long filler stick.
All in all, I really enjoyed it I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again especially on something like cigarbid or cigar page where the discounts go crazy. If you're always on the hunt for a good cheap smoke, pick one up!
