The Desert Walker Story: Justin Andrews came to visit me for an episode of Cigars Daily LIVE. It was a nice ‘warm’ day in Arizona, and Tim accidentally locked himself and Justin out of the Cigars Daily building before the show. However, the show must go on. So Justin and Tim had no choice but to make a lengthy walk through the Arizona desert to collect a spare key to the building. Afterward, Justin vowed not to visit Cigars Daily ever again. However, Tim’s deep love for the Diesel Boxergrail and Diesel Vintage Maduro sparked up a passion to create a cigar the combines the best qualities of those two blends. After some convincing, Justin agreed to create the Desert Walker… but made Tim promise that he would never have to weather the Arizona desert ever again.
Diesel Desert Walker Daily Edition Robusto (5.25×54)
$12.99 – $233.82
The Diesel Desert Walker is a collaboration between AJ Fernandez, Justin Andrews (Diesel), and Tim Swanson (Cigars Daily). The Cigars Daily Edition blend features a well curated marriage of Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and fillers from the farms AJ Fernandez in Nicaragua. This bold cigar produces a perfect marriage of pepper and spice from the Nicaraguan tobaccos, and a bright chocolate and leather sweetness from the Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper.

I really enjoyed this one. As far as Diesel goes this is now in my top 3 favorites. The chocolate and leather compliment each other and are strong notes. The cigar is very well made. Burns even, plenty of smoke, good draw, and the ash holds in there well enough. If truth be told I believe the robusto is better with the flavor notes than the toro yet the toro gives you a little more burn time to enjoy the blend. I have definitely ordered my fair share and burned every single one so far. After the Esteli Puro this is a safe go to for me. I highly recommend the same Desert Walker if you’re a Diesel enthusiast.
