601 Blue / 601 Green

Mr B · 03-05-2009, 11:32 AM

Hey guys, I have a question for the 601 Blue lovers. How do you like the 601 Green?
I love the Blue, but the 1 Green I got in a sampler is still resting. What are your comparisons of the two?
Thanks all.

Blue > Green

Both are good but the Blue has more depth.

I like the Blue the best, but both are good. I think the Green is much spicier.

NCRadioMan · 03-05-2009, 01:05 PM

The green is stronger and more complex, imo. I don't really care for the blue.

I love most maduros but the blue is flat!!!

I smoked one green and remember thinking it was so strong I had trouble enjoying the flavor at all. It was a beautiful looking figurado but just not for me. If it was between the green and blue, I say blue, but personally I think the reds are better than both.

Also, the black label is a fantastic milder smoke. I tried one last weekend since the reds were getting a little too strong for my taste.

I've only had a few of the blues and liked them. I love the green though... especially the coronas.

Pat1075 · 03-05-2009, 01:34 PM

love them both for different reasons the spice and complexity of the green especially the la punta. But the blue was my go to for a while. I liked the spice and chocolate flavors.

tenbaseg · 03-05-2009, 04:04 PM

I like the blue the least of the line. My order: green, black, red, blue.

Green, to me of course, is much better.

I didn't really enjoy the Blue.

TheRiddick · 03-05-2009, 06:57 PM

Blues are my least favorite. Red, Green, Black, Blue.

BORIStheBLADE · 03-05-2009, 07:06 PM

I liked the Blue more tan the green. Maybe the green I smoked needed some rest though??

jonharky · 03-05-2009, 07:26 PM

I like the green but I haven't had any of the other ones so I can't really compare

duckmanco · 03-05-2009, 07:40 PM

The green is a more potent smoke that absolutely delivers in the flavor, its so rich and tasty..... and I can say the same about the blue accept the blue is more chocolatey/cocoa-y if that makes sense. You cannot screw up with either one, and these are especially cheap from a place I know no one here likes for valid reasons, but for 3.00 a stick for 601's its worth it. thompson cigar

Mr B · 03-05-2009, 11:07 PM

Right On guys. thanks for the replys and opinions.

Ratters · 03-06-2009, 12:12 AM

Green is better than Blue. Both are good. Red is best.

TomHagen · 03-06-2009, 12:14 AM

Greens rock!! Much more complex/dynamic flavor profile.

I also found the Blues somewhat flat, but an enjoyable smooth maduro nonetheless...

MedicCook · 03-06-2009, 12:14 AM

I think I am going to have to get some of these so I can join the discussion.

awsmith4 · 03-06-2009, 12:22 AM

I found the greens to be flat, full of body but no complexity. I liked the blues for a maduro but like the red the best.

But after reading all these posts I will revisit the green. Does vitola seem to matter with the greens?
