    For those who have not, try the Shorty. I reviewed it on Ubi, and it was really good. I like this immediately over the Unholy Cocktail. I think it might have a bit more ligero? Not sure, but it has a bit more kick upfront. Flavorwise, if you took the UC flavor profile, and just added layers, it's like that. There is everything, but more so. I agree with the bitterness, smoked a pair and each got a bit bitter toward the end but some rest should cure this. I will be getting more of these for sure. Pictures are all up on the site, too.

    I too had one of these as I waited out a massive rain storm today at a friend's house. I was amazed at how peppery it could be without blowing my palate to Kingdom Come, and after the pepper it was just a phenominal smoke, and I too had bitterness in the final 3rd of it but I won't detract that from the overall enjoyability of this stick.

    Just had my first shorty. this thing is spicy all the way thru. just when i thought it was letting up it came right back. didnt have any burn issues. i have to agree by the time i got to the band it was a little bitter. got a few more resting , maybe it will get better. if you havent tried it. i recommend it!

    Had one this past weekend. It was awesome, to say the least. It's like a Diesel x 2. Great burn. Lots of thick chewy smoke. Smooth, yet very spicy (if that makes sense....). I like this one better than the Diesel, which I almost hate to say! Thanks to the BOTL who hit me with it in the cigar lottery. Much appreciated!

    Got 10 of these little guys coming my way...I sure do hope I like them or they'll be going out as sniper rounds. :)

    It IS a Diesel, just a Shorty rather than an Unholy Cocktail.

    Noted. :) I'm sure a few will find their way out regardless, sneaky little guys.

    I just wanted to say. I've now went through about half of my box of these and love them. I wasn't sure ordering the box without trying a few first, but it was well worth it. I will be ordering more of these when I run out.

    I smoked a Shorty two nights ago. This was really fantastic. I'm very impressed - more so than the Unholy Cocktail. Funny thing is I didn't find it spicier like many others have said here. I found it more rich in flavor, and very, very well balanced. I've got 4 more, and sadly several of those are promised to a few guys here. heh, I'm starting to feel really protective of my last four!

    I had my first Shorty last night! What a great stick!! I did not find it spicier either. It may have gotten a little bit towards the end, but it was so good I burnt my fingers smoking it as far as I could! Perfect burn and draw with a punch cut. I believe the Diesel UC and Shorty are my 2 favorite sticks right now!

    I didn't get the extra spice either. But it's a really good smoke! Sadly, a few of mine snuck out in packages as well, and I only have two left. I see another order in my near future.

  • Shorty? OK, I get it now...

    I have to say, based on my experiences with the Shorty, everything that everyone on here thought seemed to come true.

    Bought a ten pack of these early last summer & couldnt wait to try them as I was a pretty big fan of the Unholy Cocktail. What a disappointment when I lit one up about three weeks later!!! The draw was super tight, the smoke was wispy, lots of bitterness and very little change in flavor profile for the half of it I smoked before I tossed it. Everything about this cigar screamed "GIMMICK!" at me, and I recently sent the remainder of them to Ozzie in a care package.

    Or so I thought! Was rummaging around one of my other humi's on Monday and stumbled across one, not sure exactly how it got in there to tell you the truth. I figured what the he11, might as well fire it up.

    HO-LEE SHITE me bruddahs, what a difference a several months of rest made to this stick! As predicted by several of the BOTL here I might add... :-D

    Effortless draw, razor sharp burn, and get this - one of the more complex cigars Ive EVER had! Whereas Ive found the Unholy Cocktail to be something of a one-trick pony (in that if you like the first couple puffs, then you will like the last couple & everything in between - all delicious, but very similar throughout), with months on them the profile and hints on this changed nearly constantly. Earth, cedar, cocoa, leather, a little booze, a fresh grassy sort of hint - from puff to puff, I didnt know what I was going to get, but it was seemingly something different (and AWESOME!) every time.

    I have to say I think age does MUCH better things to the Shorty than it does the Unholy Cocktail.

    In closing, as soon as I hit POST on this, I am going to go pick up another ten of these (or a box if I can snap em up at a good price!), bury them in the bottom of a humi and forget about them totally. Amazing with some age on them gentlemen, simply amazing.
