Default 601 Habano Oscuro Green label

This is a cigar that was gifted to me along with another 2 and a red label.
this had some age and was cared for very well before it came into my hands.

Note the light dusting of plume--in the light it was beautiful and sparkled. and this cigar turned out to be just like this--beautiful and a sparkler.

I tasted good aged tobacco and a slight pepper flavor...very smooth and tasty. Really hoping this will change up a little.

Nice pepper very muted in the background, very smooth. hitting the half point brought about a big change in the flavor. started to get a large spicy earthy smooth taste-- the spice had a great taste to it, it was so smooth.

I nubed this one. I did not find this cigar strong at all. I got no hint of N any where in this. I don't know the age of this cigar but I tend to think this cigar goes though a big change in the flavor compared to when it is young.

I want to pick up a box and set it aside to age for a couple of years. This was a great, smooth, tasty cigar.

They came out just about 2 years ago so they are still young. Definitely not aged. They say these are the strongest of the 601's but, like you, I don't think so either.

Kevin, in the pics, I couldn't get over the fact that you're driving around in some kind of Ford. So, what is the car?

Thanks for the reveiw. I may have to try oone of those sometime.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Todd,

I sold my Ford f150 for the 2nd semester tuition at bible college. When I finished school the Lord provided a gifted vehicle to me a Ford Areostar van.
I really have always disliked vans---God has a great sense of humor.


Oh I was parked outside my mothers house waiting for her to get home.
Blessings of God on you my fellow minister of the Word.

I dig the Biblical Word Search too!

The things we do to enjoy a cigar! I sat in my car one cold day with the heat on full blast and KLOVE on the radio. My wife couldn't believe I was just sitting out there enjoying the music and cigar!

She actually came out and said 'Ok, what are you REALLY doing out here!'

Thanks for the review!

Thanks for the comment.

I've bought the green for people in the past, and heard of the strength---never experienced that though. They could be my 1st serious box purchase when back at work---they were that good---and I am that impressed.

Thanks for asking about me my brothers, and for the kind words about the review.

I love the Green corona. The good/bad part is they only come in a box of 40. I get a little antsy when I get less than 10 though!!

Nice review. The green is my favorite of the bunch, though I really like the red and the blue, too. The blue label is my favorite maduro. Still haven't tried a black.
