Diesel Whiskey Row PX Sherry Cask 97.67 Rating

Tried this cigar today at the "Leaf and Cedar" cigar shop in Louisville.  It is made by aging the binder leafs in a bourbon barrel that was used to make a sherry wine.  This ended up giving it a slight cherry/berry taste, but not overwhelming like an infused cigar.  It had a nice start and finish.  Several of the other guys at the shop felt it was a very mild cigar also.  I highly recommend it, especially at its price point.


 Cigars International has this to say on their site:

Rabbit Hole Bourbon & Diesel Cigars are a match made in heaven. The Diesel Whiskey Row was released in 2018 to a wave of excitement from cigar aficionados everywhere, owing to the fantastic blend and bold flavors from the binder aged in Rabbit Hole bourbon barrels. The follow-up to that fantastic success uses barrels that originally contained 30-year old Pedro Ximenez Sherry which were sent to Rabbit Hole to produce their PX Sherry Finish Bourbon, before finally landing at Tabacalera AJ Fernandez in Nicaragua.

The blend consists of a dark Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and Nicaraguan fillers, but the barrel-aged Brazilian Arapiraca binder is the star of the show. The flavors are wonderfully influenced by the sherry casks, without becoming infused or overly sweet. Instead, you’ll find notes of dark fruit, cedar, chocolate, and pepper, for a smooth medium-bodied experience that pairs great with any drinks with naturally sweet characteristics. Diesel crated something truly special & unique with this release, so you won’t want to hesitate to go down the Rabbit Hole.
