Really wanted to smoke something today but it's friggin cold out there. Looks like I'll be heading into the big city tomorrow so I'll hold off until then. Gonna have to revisit the short list. 😉

Thoughts on the Diesel Uncut? Never tried one, and as I recall, Diesel gets mixed reviews here.

A decidedly meh diesel.  And while not a huge fan of the line, I do generally enjoy them otherwise, particularly the coronas.

they look to be $55 at CI, but no free ship.

I prefer the Man o' War line. The little devils, the Puro's or even the Ruination.

I like the Man o War original and the Puro & Little devil.  not a big fan of the Ruination, but the Special Fig., which seems to be a cross bastardization of the original and Ruination, is pretty good.

Puro be good.  Duke, Ateupwithit, was a big fan of the Unlimited.

I've stocked up my first MOWPAs, so finally getting to try them. But got an offer from Mike B at the sis for Uncut Connies - 5.5x50, 20 for $55.98 and FS. Should I?

No. Never smoked the connie and from what folks here are saying, it sounds like they're decent. But buying 20 sticks blindly is never a good idea.

With the wind, it's feeling like 37° in northern Joisey this afternoon.

Exactly, sunny but still chilly

For most people, that would be true. But as I suggested earlier, in my social set cigars function as a form of currency. If I don't like a cigar, I tip the rest of what I've got to friends who help me work on my cars, motorcycles, travel trailer, house, or firearms, or load ammo for me. Since most of those guys think I'm a connoisseur of cigars and booze (In the land of the blind, a one-eyed man is king), a surfeit of Diesels for which I don't care would buy me a lot of goodwill. ;-)

I have somewhat of six degrees of separation on this one... I have seen the Allman Brothers a couple times, but never personally met anyone in the band. I have, however, met and spoken with Derek Trucks on numerous occasions. He was his nephew. The connection was based on a high school garage band buddy that ended up being his bass player in his self titled band. Todd Smallie was his name.

I enjoy the Uncuts, if that helps sway your decision in either direction.

Should I therefore extend my condolences to you?
