Door #3 at the sis is a good buy and a great corona.  Just sayin'.
Mmmm, Diesel Corona's..  I've thought about those.  But I ended up getting a 10 pack awhile back of the Unholy Cocktails for about the same price.  Last year everyone seemed to have liked the Unholy Cocktails, that's why I bought some.  But this year everyone seems to be turning up their nose to them, and going  for other Diesels such as the Hair of the dog I think..?  I guess I need to get a Diesel sampler so I can figure it out... :)
The Diesel samplers are priced pretty well on CBid - good idea to try the 5 or 6 new blends they have put out the last 2 years.
Thanks...  I like the Cocktail, so I'm assuming I may like other Diesels too...?

I haven't had any of the new ones.  My rule of thumb is smoke the cocktails ROTT(fresh) as I think they get bland when they age and rest the Unlimiteds or smoke them ROTT(fresh) - they are great either way, but they get really smooth with a couple years down on them.

Well, you can try this:  http://www.cigarsinternational.com/samplers/72014/diesel-introductory-sampler-2/#p-125788 or this:  http://www.cigarsinternational.com/samplers/76238/diesel-sampler-6-pack-gift-set/#p-136502  or wait on the full sampler that only seems to be available on Jams and on the Devil.  Believe it's called the Underground Sampler.

Hair of the Dog is the tamest of the group, but with nice flavor.  Wicked and Delerium are way overpriced IMHO.

Thanks for the updates Chip.  Warm up enough to go out for a smoke?

I'm lucky, we don't seem to be having weather here in St. Louis today.  It says -0-.

+1 on the recaps.  It's not warm enough here for a smoke but that's what I enjoy about driving to work.  Charlie gave this to me about 10 years ago and he probably had it for 10 years before that in his cabinet.  This is one of those cigar boom cigars from the 90s...  Probably older than Shaun.  It wasn't great but it served its purpose.  Lots of cedar.

Morning, muchachos. Bad night. Insomnia since midnight. Sucks. I should have been paying attention to the jam. Running low on Asylums and I'd have picked some up.
