The Diesel Foolβs Errand trilogy, a unique limited-edition series of cigars, has reached its conclusion with the release of the Diesel Worthy Fool. Though slightly delayed, General Cigar Co. began shipping the final installment earlier this week, much to the anticipation of cigar enthusiasts. This marks the end of a trilogy that began in 2022, capturing the attention of the cigar community with its bold blends and interactive experiences.
The Diesel Worthy Fool: A Perfecto with a Twist
The Diesel Worthy Fool is a 5 x 58 perfecto that features an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, paired with Nicaraguan habano tobaccos for the binder and filler. Like its predecessors, the Worthy Fool is crafted by Tabacalera AJ Fernandez Cigars de Nicaragua S.A., a name synonymous with premium, well-balanced cigars. The MSRP for this limited-edition cigar is set at $9.99, offering an affordable yet high-quality smoking experience. However, specific production numbers for this release have not been disclosed, adding an air of exclusivity to the finale of this trilogy.
Joe Krzyston, assistant brand manager for Diesel Cigars, expressed excitement about the trilogyβs conclusion, stating, βWhen we started this project, our goal was for fans to enjoy not just the cigars but the interactive experience as well. Justin and A.J. delivered another masterpiece to complete the trilogy. Youβd be a fool to miss out on this one.β
The Trilogyβs Journey: From Stubborn Fool to Worthy Fool
The Diesel Foolβs Errand series kicked off in March 2022 with the launch of the Diesel Stubborn Fool, a robust cigar that featured a broadleaf wrapper. The following year, the second installment, Diesel Simple Fool, was introduced, shifting the focus to an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. Now, with the Worthy Fool, Diesel completes the trilogy, once again using an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper but with a unique blend that sets it apart from the previous releases.
Despite all three cigars sharing the same 5 x 58 perfecto size, each one offers a distinct smoking experience, thanks to their differing blends. The Stubborn Fool was a broadleaf-wrapped powerhouse, while the Simple Fool and Worthy Fool opted for the more nuanced flavors of Ecuadorian Sumatra. This consistency in size, combined with variations in blending, has made the trilogy a hit among Diesel fans who enjoy exploring different flavor profiles.
An Interactive Experience for Cigar Aficionados
One of the standout elements of the Foolβs Errand trilogy is the interactive experience offered to those who purchase a box of cigars. Each 10-count box includes a QR code that directs buyers to the Diesel website, where they can engage in a series of riddles. Solving these riddles grants entry into a special giveaway, with winners set to be announced in January. This interactive feature has added an extra layer of fun for consumers, blending the art of cigar enjoyment with a sense of mystery and competition.
The Diesel Legacy
Diesel cigars, which are sold through Forged Cigar Co., a sister company to General Cigar Co., have gained a reputation for their bold, full-flavored blends and top-notch craftsmanship. This trilogy, made in collaboration with the renowned A.J. Fernandez, is a testament to Dieselβs commitment to producing cigars that not only deliver in terms of flavor but also engage their audience in unique ways.
As the Foolβs Errand trilogy comes to an end, the Diesel Worthy Fool promises to be a fitting conclusion to this innovative and exciting series. With its complex Nicaraguan blend and affordable price point, this cigar is likely to become a must-try for cigar enthusiasts everywhere.
