601 Green Oscuro

This was a gift to me from my friend Dennis.

This cigar was brought back to life with some time in the humidor. It was in great condition and well made. It was a bumpy and oily wrapper. It is a Nicaraguan wrapper and it is a thick Habano tobacco. The wrapper was nice and thick like leather.

The first flavor was earthy and very rich. Had a nice coffee hint and a spice in the aftertaste. It had a hint of toasty flavor as well. This also had a nice rounded flavor. Starting with the earthy flavor, turning to coffee, and ending in spice.

The draw is firm and cool. The burn is also very even. This shows the good construction as well.

This size cigar (La Fuerza, 5.5 x 54) would run between $17-$25. So, the price is steep. This is an A- cigar. The flavors could be more apparent but are still decent. The price drops it though.

Final Grade: B
