"sold out! no doubt!"

one of the best i ve smoked. bought a 5iver and i have smoked them all. so smooth from the light-up, draws easily.. stays lit and burns with a firm ash through the fist half. creamy, cool white smoke. burns a good hour, and every minute is bliss. very mellow, despite the dark color. delicious in the mouth, you ll be licking your lips, teeth and gums. top of the watch list.

"What are you doing, Rocky?!"

The quality of these sticks seems to be going down lately, with really ugly wrappers, variations in thickness, and a flavor profile leaning more toward aged, damp wood than cocoa. Will not give a new rating at this time.

"Cocoa goodness"

Was having a crappy day so I fired this up to feel better. Medium-to-full body, medium flavor, light-to-medium nicotine. Not much complexity but very flavorful and smooth, all the way to the nub. Draw is a little tight. The ones I ve dry boxed in the past seemed to have been more memorable. 94 points from Cigar Aficionado, 91-93 points from me.

"A favorite!"

I love all the whole 601 line. Excellent construction and burn, creamy, earthy, sweet maduro goodness. I can t say enough good things about this stick!

"Full with flavor"

Great cigar, I always share 601 blue with my friends in New York and Puerto Rico.

"601 Blue Prominente - excellent!"

Don't know what more to say ... had the 601 Blue Prominente, along with some good scotch while watching the Baltimore Ravens beat the Broncos in the playoffs. Very good game, excellent cigar ... smooth, drew well, even burn, rich flavor. After a wait, I followed it up with a 601 Yellow band La Bomba Napalm, while watching the NFC game. Excellent again.

"Excellent full bodied flavor"

Consistently smooth draw, no hot spots, excellent flavor, exstremely well made. Very sturdy cigar.

"Dont miss out"

It is an amazing smoke great construction, flavor and smell it is boxed press so the burn gets wonky as most box presses do. all and all great smoke don't miss out on this great smoke..

"Merry Christmas to me"

I got these as a Christmas gift from a very good friend of mine. I had not tried these as of yet, but he knows that I like the strong stuff. I usually smoke Joyo de Nicaraguas but I'm not a big Maduro fan. I have to say that the first one I got out of the box was very good. It had one hard spot that made the stick run a little bit, but I removed that hard spot and moved on to having a great smoke the rest of the way. I may be a little premature in writing this review, but I am looking forward to smoking the next one.
