What's unholy about it? Nothing, its just the curious name that Diesel give to the belicoso vitola in this range. Measuring 5" x 56 this American cigar has a dark and oily Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper with fillers from Nicaragua's Jalapa, Condega and Esteli regions. The wrapper is rustic looking with prominent veins and is well packed with a slight spring to it. I got a rich cocoa scent from it whilst MarkLondon perceived more of a coffee scent which was interesting as it is promoted as having espresso notes. Once cut the draw was very light with no resistance and I felt it tasted earthy whilst Mark got a blend of earth and wood. I also got a little chilli sting on my lips from the wrapper.
It lit nicely but took a long time to get a distinct flavour profile going. I immediately got a little white pepper taste on the back of the palate with a very clean flavour that we couldn't pin down.
My burn was dead straight but Mark's required a little correction. The ash was a pale grey and held well till it dropped in my lap at about an inch and a half.
At that point I got a big hit of creaminess which Mark didn't get till the last third. About half way through the flavours became defined at last and settled down to a woody nutty flavour whilst retaining that creaminess.
We both got a definite nicotine buzz from this stick, Mark more so for not having lunch, but it wasn't overpowering.
Once again another good American market cigar that is well worth a try if you're over there, they sell for $6 each, yes each, for an hour and a half of smoke.
