601 cigars come in so many colors – and they’re all killing it! Whether it’s the 93-point blue label, the 93-point red label, or the world-famous La Bomba… it just doesn’t matter. 601 has become a name people can trust for fantastic smoke and lush draws that go on and on with a variety of flavor profiles. So, when they bust out fresh blends, our lighters perk up and stand at the ready to toast the next bomb cigar to come off the capable hands of the rollers down at La Zona in Estelí, Nicaragua.

601 Orange Label cigars use a quality bunch of Nicaraguan long-fillers for the tobacco foundation of the blend. Then, there’s an irresistible Brazilian Cubra rosado wrapper. This may be a new leaf type for you, but there’s nothing too complicated going on. It’s a Corojo hybrid that is offering up some healthy competition to the mata fina leaf we all know and love. Some say it pulls the flavor profile more in the direction of Cuban tobacco. But given how many times we’ve heard that, we’ll simply leave it up to you to decide.

What is undisputed is the peppery, cedary smoke with hints of cream and citrus that you’ll be enjoying once you spark this one up. It’s a fine flavor and yet another quality member of the kaleidoscope of colors you now can choose from with 601. This is one of our sleeper picks for companies to go with if you could only have one. There’s really a lot going on with 601 cigars, and a wide variety of flavors to enjoy.

And now, there’s one more!

(Actually, two. Yellow Label Maduros go right along with this as a sibling cigar. But who’s counting?)

This 601 Orange Label L.E. Toro cigar is made in Nicaragua. Outside, you'll find a Brazilian Cubra Rosado wrapper. Inside, the binder is Nicaraguan, and the filler is Nicaraguan. This is a Toro cigar with a length of 6.00 and a ring gauge of 52.
