601 La Bomba Nuclear

BSB · 02-17-2012, 05:35 PM

Holy Sh*t!

Thought this would be a good one, after the 09 Hoyo DC. I had about an hour to smoke it, I smoked an hour and 15 and still had a 1/3 left. Could not finish it. It KICKED MY ASS! Smooth, great flavors, perfect burn and draw and POWERFUL!
The 1st one of these I tried, didn't strike me like this. If it had, I woulda bought a LOT more of these. I'll look for more.

I tried one, loved it. Bought a box of the Napalm size. Had one the other night, still didn't kick my ass but I made sure to have a full tummy before trying the smoke.

Really rich, chocolaty, meaty, full flavors....fantastic!!

Love these smokes. Just picked up a box a couple weeks ago where one of the big online stores was having a sale for $57 a box. They don't kick my ass but the flavors are so great.

I thought they would be a a$$ kicker for sure....I was kind skeered to buy one..

kelmac07 · 02-17-2012, 11:46 PM

I'm burned three of these and wasn't impressed.

maninblack · 02-18-2012, 04:20 AM

All hype in my opinion. Not near the ass kicker they were saying it would be.

This^^^
I like the 601 Greens a lot more personally.

Anyone remember the Mombacho Thermonuclear?

BSB · 02-18-2012, 10:01 AM

Like I said, I wasn't impressed by the 1st. This one was "special," I guess.

Islayphile · 02-18-2012, 03:14 PM

I'm a 601 whore (Blue, Red & Green), so needless to say I was anxious to get my hands on these...

I was underwhelmed in both flavor and power.....it wasn't bad, just not exciting.

TJtorpedo · 02-21-2012, 07:07 PM

I'm burning a Nuclear right now, and so far I have to agree with what's been said so far. Prefer the blues and greens for sure. And the schtick of the Bomba being an asskicker...well, I think the green packs more of a punch and are much more flavorful.

BSB · 02-21-2012, 10:54 PM

Seems like they are pretty inconsistent. I've smoked 2, one stellar, one MEH!

Ratters · 02-21-2012, 11:31 PM

Wow, I've had well over ten and not a bad one in the bunch. As for strength, I haven't noticed them being particularly strong, but I find them hitting all cylinders in flavor department.

TJtorpedo · 02-22-2012, 07:28 PM

I plan on getting a couple more singles and see what happens. The Nuclear I had last night finished up decently, and it began to get more flavorful at the half-way point.
