Others come from the underground—raw, unpredictable, and somehow all the more alluring. El Diablo Del Desierto , created by Purple Sky Cigars , falls firmly into the latter. Purple Sky was formed by three unlikely cigar makers: Hector, once an ex-dealer turned spiritual seeker; Tommy, an ex-addict with frenetic energy; and Paul, a jokester with warmth and wit. Together, they turned their chaotic pasts into a mysterious brand inspired by Breaking Bad . Their mascot— El Diablo —is a figure spotted on murals and whispered about in the Southwest, always with an air of myth. When I first heard about this cigar, I expected a San Andrés wrapper (Mexico’s classic export). But instead, I was floored: a Mexican Habano wrapper , something I had never encountered. What followed was a smoke unlike any other—strange, complex, unforgettable. Delivered by hand from Mexico (in exchange for Bitcoin, no less), this release is shrouded in myth and mystery. Yet the truth is undeniable: it’s a masterpiece that shouldn’t exist, and it may never be made again. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with black pepper, cedar, dried apple chips, vanilla, and leather , wrapped in cola syrup sweetness. Retrohale explodes with baked cinnamon and warm apple pie notes. A strange yet delicious sweetness lingers, like whipped meringue or sugar cane. Second Third: Heavy cedar dominates with dried fig, candied almond, and simple syrup. Vanilla runs through it, balanced by buttered bread and charred wood . Retrohale delivers candied ginger, cola, and spice . Final Third: Intensifies into butterscotch, caramel, Red Hot candy, cumin, curry-like spice, turmeric, and charred cedar . Musty leather and woody undertones frame the finish, leaving a savory, sweet, and fiery crescendo.
