Lakota72:I had a Diesel Shorty Edition. It is rapidly growing on me.

Thanks brother!... gotta admit, I was unprepared for the sweetness. lol good cigar so far, but I feel like the sweetness is a little overwhelming, cause it kinda masks some of the other core flavors. The cigar has a nice spice to it on the retrohale, and a nice earthy tobacco note on the draw that I really enjoy. The sweetness that it's leaving on my lips is just so strong that it quickly overpowers the other flavors after the exhale (maybe within5-7 seconds or so). I'm definitely gonna smoke another one of these in the future because the flavors are simply too interesting to be denied, but I think next time, I will dry box it for about 12hrs prior to smoking it, and I'll drink a nice stout ale with it to wash some of the sweetness off my palate every few puffs.

That's the Santiago Sweet. I wish they would've had the Ruby Red or Milan Marble in that vitola...they're both much better, without the sweetness.
