Description
Diesel Whiskey Row Sherry Cask is another unique collaboration with AJ Fernandez, Diesel and the Rabbit Hole Bourbon distillery. To begin with, Forged is the arm of the General Cigar company. With a portfolio consisting of brands like Alec Bradley, Chillin’ Moose, La Gloria Cubana, Bolivar, El Rey Del Mundo and Partagas, Forged Cigars are a force in the Industry to say the least.
With attention to detail, the blending process begins with acquiring barrels that contained Pedro Ximénez 30-Year-Old Sherry. The binder is a vintage Brazilian arapiraca leaf with Nicaraguan habano fillers. Encasing all this is a dark and oily Connecticut broadleaf wrapper. The results speak for themselves.
Cigar Dojo rates Sherry Cask at 90 and says it’s a unique, well balanced cigar with remarkable flavors and is a great expression of creative technique. Noted reviewer KATMAN rates it a 93. He describes it perfectly. “Complex? Very much so. Subtle and surprising at the same time.”
To say this is a pleasant diversion from your everyday smoke is an understatement!
To sum up, Diesel Whiskey Row Sherry Cask comes in three popular sizes of 20 count boxes

For this edition, General Cigar revisited Louisville, Kentucky based Rabbit Hole Distilling (Great Whiskey!). How these folks got a hold of barrels that were originally used to house renowned Pedro Ximenez 30 year old Sherry, I’ll never know! Once obtained, they were swiftly sent to Master Blender AJ Fenandez’s factory in Nicaragua to work their magic.The result is a 91 rated, medium bodied cigar that exudes a great bouquet of flavor notes along with the ever so gentle infused taste of the wine. Think citrus, raisins, cedar wood and natural tobacco sweetness and long smooth finish. Well done!
