Only 3,000 boxes of Diesel Crucible have been made, and the cigars begin shipping to retailers on April 26 in the U.S.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"xmsonospacing\">Senior Brand Manager Justin Andrews said, \u201cDiesel Crucible concludes the Elixir trilogy on a high note. It\u2019s definitely a full-bodied smoke, and definitely for an experienced palate. But it\u2019s more than that: This cigar takes a sophisticated approach to strength. There are so many intricacies with this blend, it\u2019s like a new experience with every draw. I know you\u2019re not supposed to play favorites but to me, this is the best release of the series.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"xmsonospacing\">Handcrafted at Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez in Estel\u00ed, Nicaragua, and blended by A.J. Fernandez with Justin Andrews, Crucible features an Ecuadoran Habano wrapper that AJ selected to undergo a deep aging process to further develop its bold characteristics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"xmsonospacing\">When blended with a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers, the experience delivers a unique Central American spice, brimming with an array of spices, hints of toasted nuts and an unexpected whisper of nougat on the palate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"xmsonospacing\">Diesel Crucible will be released in a Toro (6 x 52) that will sell for an SRP of USD 9.99 per cigar. The cigars are presented in <a name=\"_Hlk69466639\"><\/a>rustic, ten-count wooden boxes with two compartments, each containing five cigars.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"xmsonospacing\">This limited edition release will hit stores on April 26 and the brand\u2019s distributor, The Forged Cigar Company, is expecting Crucible to be an almost instant sell out. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diesel is set to roll out Crucible, the third and final expression in the brand\u2019s \u201cElixir Trilogy.\u201d Crucible follows the top-rated \u201cHair of the Dog\u201d and \u201cDelirium\u201d releases from 2019 and 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":39979,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[55,2812,44],"tags":[5428,3043,4376],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39978"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39978"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39978\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
