601 Black Robusto

tuxpuff · 06-11-2009, 07:05 PM

Size - 5 x 50
Shape - Robusto
Wrapper - Ecuador
Filler - Nicaragua
Binder - Nicaragua

Had this one today while checking out the flashchat for the first time. It's very cool BTW! The smoke sports a very smooth wrapper. Great roll with no soft spots. Nice tobacco aroma on the wrapper with chocolate aroma on the foot.

First third - Initial blast of almonds and general toasted nuts. Pretty quickly turns into a very smooth and creamy smoke with primarily tobacco flavors. Draw is initially tight but it loosens fairly quickly. Small hints of cedar and licorice. Staying very smooth with some nice sweetness.

Second third - A deliciously smooth some with lots of complexity. Leather, tobacco, and sweetness prevail. A small amount of peppery spice on the aftertaste. Burning very well.

Last third - Quite a pronounced sweetness on the lips. Still maintaining the superb burn. The slightly spicy and very mocha flavored aftertaste is increasing now. Finishes with flavors of tabacco, espresso, and leather with a long spicy mocha aftertaste.

Overall a very good smoke. Complex flavors with a nice solid burn, even on a windy afternoon. Recommended!

Nice review. :thumbup

These are the one 601 I don't particularly care for. I'm a huge fan of the Red and Green though.

Outstanding review, makes me want to smoke the 601 black i have right now. 601 is quickly becoming one of my fav smokes out there. The red is one of my top smokes.

This is my favorite Connecticut wrapped cigar.

Thanks for the great review!

I've only smoked 1 Red & 1 Black. Anyone care to differentiate between the different CAO "Colors"?
Didn't mean to Threadjack, just "Curious".
Thanks!

Thx for the review! Never had any of the 601 line but I may have to change that soon as this sounds like a tasty smoke

Thanks for the review, I love the 601 i think i will have to try one of these.

This is one of the only connecticuts I can smoke still.
We were talking about this stick over the weekend and comparing it to the Oliva Conn.
To me this stick wins by a mile. The spice of the 601 blend is mellowed by the smooth Conn wrapper creating a great smoke with 2 personalities.
