Some cigars come from polished factories with generations of prestige behind them. 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.
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.
