Cigar: 601 Red Robusto (5 x 50)

Cost: Don't remember

Drink: Coca-Cola (the best cola)

Appearance: This has a Habano wrapper on it. The wrapper was silky. The appearance gets a 9/10 .

Taste of the cigar: This cigar is peppery with some sweetness to it. I also picked up a slight touch of cocoa.

Construction: Held an average ash. The draw was a little loose, but I find this with the entire 601 line. I don't mind this. The cigar required no touchups even with heavy winds.

Strength: This was a medium-full cigar.

Summary: This cigar was decent. I found it kind of one-dimensional. I prefer the 601 Blue. I give it a 7.9/10.
 
Ha, my partner and I had these today as well but in churchill size. The draw was tight, but not unpleasantly so, and the flavor was good, though the finish was extremely short. Not a bad stick!
 
I smoked one of these babies at work last night. I thought it was a fairly decent smoke. The construction was terrible. It started unraveling almost as soon as the fire touched it. I'm hoping it was just that one because I just ordered a 5er :whistling:
