Strength: Medium-FullIn stock

About this cigar

Diesel Whiskey Row is an AJ Fernandez blend handmade in Nicaragua with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over Nicaraguan filler and a Nicaraguan binder aged in Rabbit Hole bourbon barrels. It is a balanced medium-full cigar whose barrel-aged tobacco lends a distinctive bourbon-influenced character without making it an infused cigar.

Aging & storage · Guidance

How to keep it

General humidor guidance for this cigar, based on its wrapper, strength, ring gauge and packaging.

Storage

Hold the box at 65–70% relative humidity at 65–70°F (18–21°C). Steady humidity matters far more than the exact number — swings are what crack wrappers.

Rest after delivery

Thicker ring gauges hold shipping moisture longest — give these boxes three to four weeks in the humidor before the first one.

Aging window

Full-bodied blends reward patience: a year or two of quiet aging typically trades raw power for depth.

In the box

Age them in their own box where possible — the cedar keeps the cigars marrying together instead of taking on the flavour of everything else in the humidor.
