Just received a 601 Black on Monday from a PIF decided to try it today. So I just want to share with you what I think and see if I got it right.
Why not try reviewing a cigar for a change.
I happen to like some great Cigars by Pepin but I think this one is not on my shopping list.

The wrapper is a much lighter wrapper then I'm used to, I think it’s a Connecticut wrapper. The smell is great, it lit well, and burned well most of the time. It did go out once, not sure if it just went out or I got distracted on the phone for too long and didn't puff.
The draw was pretty loose which I like but the smoke didn't leave a very strong aroma.

Then the main thing that got me a little disappointed was for most of the time smoking it i just kept on feeling spicy spicy, spicy, that’s it. Until finally a little after half way through it did started feeling the Spice smoke and buzz, kick in. Not over done but fairly ok.

Bottom line: Not very disappointed at the end, but it took a little to long for me to get some real flavor I think.
I do have to say, I don’t enjoy a cigar that punches you right from the start but this one is just for the person that likes spicy I guess.
Thanks for reading.
