The next release in the Diesel Whiskey Row Founder’s Collection series has been announced. Diesel Founder’s Collection Raceking is a premium cigar inspired by the legacies of Kentucky bourbon-making and horse racing. This is the fifth release in collaboration with Rabbit Hole Whiskey.
Diesel Founder’s Collection Raceking is handcrafted at Tabacalera AJ Fernandez Cigars de Nicaragua S.A. It features an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and a Nicaraguan binder aged in a Raceking Founder’s Collection barrel. The cigar’s filler is also from Nicaragua. This limited-edition full-bodied smoke is said to have “nutty notes of earthiness and cocoa that pair perfectly with rye whiskey, brown ale, and … the Founder’s Collection Raceking Bourbon.”
Diesel brand manager Joe Krzyston commented in a press release, “We’re thrilled to release another cigar in our Whiskey Row Founder’s Collection in collaboration with Rabbit Hole. This barrel-aged blend honors the history and legacy of Kentucky bourbon. Whether you’re watching the race or simply enjoying the quality of the craft, this cigar is truly exceptional.”
Diesel Founder’s Collection Raceking will be available in 10-count boxes as a 6 x 52 Toro. Each cigar is expected to have a suggested retail price of $15.99 before applicable taxes. Only 2,300 boxes are slated for release.
This cigar is expected to ship to retailers in May 2025.
