Default 601 Green Oscuro La Punta Perfecto




This 5.5×48-52 perfecto stick offers a very dark brown, almost black wrapper with a slight red hue, a velvet texture and a rock hard pack. It shows minimal veins, tight seams, very even firm construction and offers a barnyard and tobacco aroma. First light reveals an insanely tight draw but big medium-full flavors of deep oily tobacco and white pepper with a long earthy finish. 10 minutes in the draw opens up to a very nice light resistance and smoke output is excellent. Flavors are very deep and substantial with a long full finish. The draw flavors are very woody and peppery with an oily slick on the lips but dry parched mouthfeel. 25 minutes in I had to give it a small touchup, there was a strip on one side that wasn’t burning. 35 minutes in hitting the 1/2 way point flavors shift just lightly, adding a dark chocolate in to the mix. Ending at 1:15 the 2nd half proved to be very similar, only changing the draw back to snug, but not a big problem. I did have to give it another touchup, and the ash on this last half was not as firm as the first, flowering and flaking quite a bit. Video on the site

Thanks for the impressions Bryan. I went through a box of these and loved them. Solid cigar from EO

I smoked of these I received in a bomb (it had the newer, uglier band). I was working in the yard and wasn't expecting much from it but it was a pretty nice smoke.

I was on a kick at one point in my cigar smoking where I thought a cigar wasn't a cigar unless it punched you in the gut and had you curled up in the fetal position crying for your mommy after smoking it. THIS was the cigar that never failed to get me wobbly kneed and fuzzy headed.

Nice review, letting these rest for a while may help with the draw issue.

The tronco is one of my favorite smokes for the price. I did not like the construction on the la punta. Trabuco is a great roll as well.

The Greens are nice, the Blues are significantly more complex and polished IMO. Great review Bryan!

I liked the blue as well. Guess I can't compare it to the Green because I haven't had one, but the blue's a good smoke. As always, good review Bryan.

Love the greens, if you want a kick in the stomach smoke try the Padilla Obsidian Belicoso. I had a hard time finishing my lawn the one day, they got REAL harsh by the end, lol
