Great review, of course.

I smoked one of those shortly after they came out, and although I liked it, I thought it was a bit “raw” as you put it. To me the flavors just didn’t quite mesh together exactly right. In short, I felt like it needed some age.

I’ve let the rest sit, and am smoking my 2nd now. I’m enjoying this A LOT at the moment. The spice + chocolate characteristics of the wrapper are more pronounced, and the blend just seems to flow better now to me. Rich and tasty with more than a bit of sass. I thought it was good before, but now I think might be one of the best full-bodied values on the market at retail price.

I still think the Runiation is a better cigar over all, but this PA Broadleaf is growing on me!

Sigh. I tried this this morning, and a couple Ruinations a while back, and unfortunately didn’t like either. I liked bits of the Diesel, but Vince’s description fits my experience. The draw and burn were great, but most of it was a charred flavour (the very beginning, the sweet-sour wine flavour, which was good, and the end the odd puff had some sort of sweetness, but no other flavours aside from those and the spicey charred taste).

I didn’t find the Diesel too strong, and it sounds like there’s a good split between those who like it and those who don’t. Give one a try before deciding.

Cheers

Great review! I just ordered a handful of these sticks. Do you review Cubans by the way?

Great Reviews, for a stogie like this, it sounds somewhat similar to a Padron. I found that my 2 year old Padron 26 #35 had this concentrated flavor, it pairs great with the Goose Island Bourbon County 2009 which I bought from the Rodman’s down in DC on Wisconsin ave, if what you say about this stogie then I might have to pick up a box of it on your suggestion.

Very nice review Jerry. These look like they are quite tasty – definitely something I will be looking into soon. One question I had when you do make your video reviews, what kind of camera do you use to film? Do you stick with your laptop’s camera or do you have another option?

Smoked 2 of these last night. Excellent smokes. I will be buying more. Everyone should give these a shot.

The Unholy Cocktail has qucikly become a go-to cigar for me. Just smoked my last one on Sunday, so a box purchase is not too far off. Thanks for the review.
