601 black

03-16-2009, 08:19 AM

I've tried the toro and Churchill sizes of this stogie and am quite pleased. I am a big fan of nicaraguan tobacco and the black comes in as another winner. Magnificently made smooth flawless wrapper. Great construction and draw. Consistant full flavor throughout with that slight spice and nicaraguan pop. No big flavor change between vitolas. A truly enjoyable smoke 3.7 legend rating.

IMO, the black label is one of the best Connecticut wrappers on the NC market. This is by far the best offering from United Tobacco (601), however I would recommend that you try the Robusto, it was quite a bit more flavorful and spicier than the Toro or Churchill.

From the tinder box site....

"The 601 Black is handmade in Esteli, Nicaragua by Pepin Garcia exclusively for UnitedTobacco. They comprise an exquisite blend of aged Nicaraguan tobaccos topped with a beautiful rich and oily Ecuadorian Connecticut Wrapper."

(Just so folks know the cigar is not a "legend" brand.

Thanks, Dave....I don't know that much about NCs, and I was confused by "Legend" in the thread title.

I'm always confused when "legend" is in the thread title.

I love Mondays!

This thread scores a 1.1 on the legend scale.

It was there. It got deleted.

What is this a banter thread?

Legend, I do believe adding the additional information in the title would help with confusion on the cigars. I kept looking up legend brand but didn't see them. I'm such a cigar newb.

I have one of these somewhere, had no idea what brand it was.

Yeah, the 601 on the band isn't a dead give away.

03-16-2009, 11:53 AM

Ahh thought it was the 601 blend my bad!

Great stick. I agree what was said about the robusto. Lots of spice/pepper and it's a powerhouse. It's not a mild connie stick by any means.
