I have credable information that Diablo is being discontinued by General Cigar. They should phase out over the next year.

They told me the same thing at the shop I go to.

Never had one, but they were heavily hyped at the beginning of this year!

Your not missing ANYTHING!!! They did, however, have a cool acrylic-neon-red sign they gave out to the shops.
 
If it wasn't for the box I won on another website, I probably would have never had any. The box looks cool though.
 
So...we will all say R.I.P. diablo. Gone, but hardly missed. Actually I wouldn't mind trying one if I could get the chance.
 
PM me with your address and I'll send you a couple when I get back to San Fran after the 8th.
 
A cigar rep recently gave me a Diablo Polo shirt. Looks like it will become a collectors item. Now I almost feel obligated to try one.

Agreed. And agreed.

God I hated that cigar. :twisted: I was hoping it would be good.

It was not.
 
Well guys after giving that Diablo a good rest, I finally lit it up a couple of nights ago. Way too mild. I told my wife I should get to smoke another one this week beacauste that one didn't count.

I would say it is a perfect smoke to give to a newbie, it would be a good intro to cigars. Thank you very much Axegod, I still apreciate it, and will pass the other one on to a deserving Newbie.

I'm just happy to give someone else the opportunity to try something new. In my opinion, it seems the manufacturers focused more on marketing than on blend. They look great, but lack any memorable taste. Hey, at least I didn't pay for them :lol:
 
And like I said, if you don't like it you can always pass it on to a newbie.
