601 LE Macho

MiamiE · 12-05-2010, 03:54 PM

Purchased this stick today at Sabor Havana Sunset.

Beautiful band and Habano wrapper, although it is not my favorite tasting. After cutting with my Palio I get a strong cedar taste. Toast the foot and off we go.

Initially there is a slight hit of pepper. Nothing crazy though. Big time cedar moves in with hints of chocolate. Pretty much stayed the same way the whole cigar. Lots of cedar with hints of chocolate. The Macho has a "cubanesque" feel and taste to it. Could be the Habano wrapper. Overall I enjoyed it and for $7 I will be looking for more!

I kind of like it. I know most hate it.

I will have to give one of these a try. Thanks for the review.

Nice dog.... oh crap, sorry. I meant nice review.

What a ugly looking band, but I know you don't smoke the band. They need the old ones back.

kelmac07 · 12-05-2010, 07:03 PM

Now on the hunt to find one of these...thanks Erick.

Great review, been wondering about these - haven't seen them locally yet. And +1 for me on hating the new bands...

Not a fan of the band, but doesn't matter. If I know I like it, then ship em naked for all I care. Nice review and I will be looking out for these. 601 green is my favorite Pepin out there in the price range.

Just a heads-up - This stick won't be available nationally. It's an LE made for a friend of Eddie and Erik to celebrate the release of a book that was recently published. Sabor Havana is the only B&M who carries these. IIRC, it was a very small run ~ 375 boxes (or so), 10 sticks per.

I just smoked my second one of these last night and, to me, they are a terrific stick. Maybe the best 601 to date.
