Eddie told me himself in December...

The new band is ugly sure, but I assume they're probably cheaper too which is fine by me, since as both Rocky and Eddie mentioned, they're passing the cost savings along to the consumer and lowering the price per stick by several dollars.

Have you tried the 601 Green? I think they have a similar flavor profile of the Red but more full body, a little stronger. My favorite of the 601 line.

the greens are my favorite of the line

The Blue 601s have not had any changes made, except for the band. They will be back to the old bands soon.

601 Blue is one of my all time favorites. Smooth, luxurious, and lots of smoke volume. Notes of coffee, cocoa, nutmeg (or cinnamon?).

I talked to the RP rep for our area, Austin Moore, and he said the cigar bands are going back to the old style....thats a blessing.

Now everyone will complain how they liked the new band.

I hated them, they gave the 601's a "bundled" look to them. Very cheap, and misleading.
