Diesel Vintage Maduro Double Corona

The Diesel Vintage Maduro Double Corona opens with a bold fusion of dark cocoa, espresso bean, and a deep molasses sweetness that sets a full-bodied, rich tone. The retrohale delivers an assertive black pepper blast, balanced by underlying notes of charred oak and dark roasted nuts. As the cigar transitions into the second third, flavors of dark chocolate ganache, leather, and a subtle raisin sweetness emerge, adding depth and complexity. The final third intensifies with notes of anise, smoked earth, and a lingering bittersweet chocolate finish, offering a robust and satisfying conclusion.

The Pennsylvania Broadleaf Maduro wrapper is toothy and oily, with a rustic yet handsome appearance. The Double Corona vitola is densely packed and well-rolled, featuring a seamless wrap and a firm triple cap. Cold draw reveals notes of barnyard earth, cocoa husk, and a hint of dried fig. Once lit, the draw is effortless, producing thick, chewy smoke with each puff. The burn line remains sharp and even, with ash stacking in firm, dark gray columns, requiring minimal touch-ups throughout the smoke.
