I just smoked my first shorty right off the truck. I'm super happy with these. They will do great with a little time.
anyone else try one of these yet?

How does it compare to the original Diesel?

It's not really fair to compare right off the truck, but i'd buy a box of these again over the orig if they rest up the way I think thay will.

the beard said they were a bit more spicy. i wouldnt doubt him. not only that but given the blend and the change in the ring on this, it wouldnt even surprise me.

again, i have yet to try either one but i have the original in the humidor and hope to try it soon. if i like it and the feedback here is good ill go on and get the shortys.

I'd go with them being a bit more spice. I plan on smoking a reg then a shorty to compare some time this week. Maybe even a review on WBfiller.

yeah...just had one...and i will agree...with maybe 6-12 months of rest....I think these will be freakin awesome....a tad bit more spice and even seemed to have a tighter draw but once again, these need a tad more rest...

I got mayyyybeee a hint more spice, but really, it tasted like all the regular Diesel's I've smoked, which isn't a bad thing, since I really enjoy them. Same flavors to me - leather, spice, espresso, natural tobacco. To me, this one had a better burn. I used the large punch on my Bugatti lighter, and the draw was effortless. Not loose, just right. I enjoyed it, but the second half did get a little bitter, which I'm attributing to it being fresh off the truck after a 5 day ride. I'll put the others in the humi for 8 months or so, and I think they'll be really good then.

and here's the pic...

Had one last night. I loved it. Everything was better than I would have expected. Slightly more spice than the original. Great draw, lots of smoke and probably the best burn on any stick I've smoked. Atleast top 3. Lasted a good hour and enjoyed every minute of it. Like Joey said I can't wait to fire one up in a few months.

just got 5, i think i'll burn one and let the others rest

I had one last night and I wasn't super impressed with it. Can't really put my finger on it but the stick seemed stagnant and kinda boring. I should try one with more time on it later.

I had a Diesel Stout last night which is a 6x60, a buddy of mine go the chunktastic 6x60 sampler from the other site and it has 4 Diesel Stouts in it. It was freaking awesome is all I have to say!! I cannot believe they do not sell this vitola separately! Seemed to me to taste very similar to the original Diesel but with a lot more flavor and bit more of a buzz! Burned nice and even and very cool, I have to get some of these!

Death By Diesel

I don't know if I am going to even try the Shorty. I love the Unholy Cocktail and, everything else being equal, find myself preferring torpedos, belicosos, etc over robusto, toro, etc w/ round ends. Because of this I can't imagine prending the same amount for a box with 6 less sticks of the Shorty. If they get the 5ers eventually down to what the UHC 5ers go for, I might try one, but I'm not rushing out to be an early adopter on this one.
