601..Nice but not as good as Tatuaje.

Geez, I hate to continue using you as a guinea pig Chuck :grin: but how did the 601 compare to the Pepin blues or blacks?

What color was the band?

 

[cvm4]

You live vicariously through Chuck.

The band is Red. I hate to talk about a cigar until I have had three. This was a little harsh in the first quarter then mellowed out with some nice sweetness. Full bodied cigar that kept getting stronger. I enjoyed it but had an empty stomach. Would have been better after a steak.

The red is the Habano wrapper.

I will smoke one in a few days and see how it compares to the Pepins.

I had my first Opus X, a xXx. Pretty darn tasty.

 

[Headbanger]

Padron Londres maduro driving home, was eh. Must need more time.

 

[Rich K]

Mmmm....good choice, quadratic. The xXx is quite an awesome beast.

No cigar for me today though.

And David? Sorry to hear things aren't going so hot -- I hope they get better.

I'm in the middle of my first Black 601 (the Ecuadorian Shade) and it's not as good as the Red 601, but it's ok.

Perdomo Reserve #3 (shape is like a Short Story) w/ a rosado wrapper. Very good smoke - lots of creamy, cocoa flavors.

Would you compare it to anything in particular?

It's similar to other EO brands, but you can't compare it to anyhting Pepin rolls. I think he's just blending tobacco the EO has so it's not comprable to a pepin or tatuaje or anything elase like that.

Over all it's a tad spicy for the first couple of minutes and then mellows out to a very nice smoke. The Black Label has a nice floral/vege taste to it where as the red is a little more earthy.

They are pretty good cigars if you judge them on thier own merit instead of hoping to get another pepinesque cigar.

I think your right Rob. It was good but not great on the Red.

 

[jmatkins]

I had a AVO Domaine midmorning. What are you guys smoking?

 

[tobby4]
