Diesel Adds Two Limited Editions

Made in collaboration with Rabbit Hole Whiskey, the all-new Diesel Whiskey Row Founder’s Collection Raceking is coming out just in time for the Kentucky Derby.

The limited edition cigar is made at Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez in Nicaragua featuring an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and Nicaraguan filler. What sets this cigar apart is its Nicaraguan binder, which was aged in a Raceking Founder’s Collection Bourbon barrel. The Toro-sized cigar (6 x 52) represents the fifth collaboration between Diesel and Rabbit Hole. Packed in 10-count boxes, just 2,300 boxes are available and the cigar’s MSRP is $15.99.

Diesel is taking inspiration from North Carolina’s pulled-port BBQ tradition to launch Diesel Backyard Barbecue Series Pulled Pork. Like the Diesel Whiskey Row Founder’s Collection Raceking, Diesel BBQ Pulled Pork is made at Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez. Rich and full-flavored, the cigar is made using a Habano Rosado wrapper, Nicaraguan Jalapa binder and Nicaraguan and Honduran filler tobaccos. The limited edition Diesel Backyard Barbecue Series Pulled Pork is available starting on May 1 with just 2,000 10-count boxes released. Made in the Robusto vitola (5 x 56), the cigars have an MSRP of $7.49.
