601 Blue Box-pressed Maduro

You know, I really tried to like these. They were tolerable, decent even. But I don't get all the hype. I'd rather have an El Rey del Mundo Robusto (the tissue wrapped maduro), it is sweeter and tastier to me and definitely not as bitter and harsh.

I believe I have had the El Rey you are talking about... its a decent stick also... but I would say the 601 Blue has a creamier, thicker smoke...

The El Rey I had, (yes it was tissue wrapped) was ok at best IMHO, I didn't pick up any sweet flavors? maybe the one I got was bunk but where I would give the 601 Blue a 5/5.... I'd give the El Rey 3/5 at best...

Once again, Just my humble opinion, but that's the wonder of cigars, different strokes, Different Folks...
