My favorite 601.  Wish they were a little less cost-prohibitive.  Pre-light draw tastes like chocolate cake (I'm not kidding).  Nice unsweetened cocoa flavor that takes on a creamy aftertaste as the cigar burns.  Also, an odd spice flavor that I can't pin down comes and goes throughout the entire smoke.  Missing is the sweet flavor that usually comes with a maddie.  Not a bad thing, just different.  Construction, of course, is absolutely perfect.  *Side note*  I have yet to smoke ANY Pepin cigar that wasn't perfectly constructed.  
But yeah, I love these, man.  I may spring for a box if I win a scratch off lottery ticket or find some money laying in the street.  :D
EDIT:  The "odd spice flavor"...I nailed it.  It's marijuana!  :r:r:r

I love all 601's.  I got the 16 for $45 October sampler from CI. I tried to get another one but they were sold out when I tried.  I was heart broken.

I'm glad I read this review!  
I do not taste the sweetness in these and therefore attributed it to not being very good!  You are right the sweet is not present and that makes it unique!  Not bad!
I do however enjoy the red and green 601 more!!!

not a shill for this site, but these get MUCH cheaper by the box when you join the cigarclub at the partysource.com and get that member pricing.  I just did it on a box of the 601BP maduro robustos.
