601 Habano Robusto by Don Pepin
I've got a few pepin's in the Humi, You hear a lot about them, so i've picked up a few.
Recently, I have tried 2 of the 601 series, i have others in the humi.
Last night I sparked up a 601 Habano Robusto.
At Havanna's they tote this cigar as a Full Bodied.
PRELIGHT
This is a very nice looking cigar, it has a slick looking wrapper, that may be a bit big, but it's subtle, the gold sits nicely on the red. It had a pleasant aroma, almost spicey... i found out why later. The prdraw was easy, and seemed like I was getting ready to enjoy a nice smoke.
I used my XiKar cutter to clip the cigar cap, I love my cuts with it..
I took a pre-light draw and the initial flavors were as spicey as the smell!
THE LIGHT
I lit the cigar very easily with 2 matches, the head quickly toasting and lighting, it caught evenly and easily, and the draw was very easy and full from the start..I could immediatly taste some nice spicey, pepper, maybe some other stuff. The ash was burning a clean white, with a very even ring tone.
THE FIRST THIRD
The first third of the cigar was great! I was captivated by the ammount of spice I could taaste, one of the first times I really tasted that much spice in a cigar, and tasted so clearly, the aroma pleasant mixing the air around me. After an inch or so, a mellow tobacco flavored started to blend with the spice, but the key was still spice.
THE SECOND THIRD
More of the same great spice, burnin like a chapion, must have gone nearly 2 inches before ashing. Ash strong and white, smoke just the right temperture, the cigar burning perfectly even.
THE FINAL THIRD
The spice still kicking, I smoked this guy to the nub, almost burning my finger tips, guy next to me said i needed a roach clip.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Yummy spice!!!
Appearance- 12/15
Draw- 9/10 Smooth, and tastey.
Burn- 10/10 Never had to worry about it.
Ash- 8/10 Excellent. Solid throughout,
Smoke- 8/10 Full, even, great smoke
Flavor- 18/20
Uniqueness- 8/10 (I havent smoked enough cigars to really judge this one)
Finish- 14/15
Total=87
