601 Habano Oscuro (Green Label) La Fuerza

The 601 Habano Oscuro Green La Fuerza cigar is rolled in Esteli, Nicaragua and blended by the master Don Pepin. The Habano Oscuro wrapper is a deep dark chocolate brown with thin veins and a small amount of tooth. This is a Nicaraguan puro and is the most full bodied blend offered by 601 cigars. The cigar is smooth and firm holding up to a good squeeze between the fingers. The scent at the foot of the 601 Habano Oscuro Green cigar reminds me of a Guinness with that deep full bodied heartiness to it. The draw with a guillotine cut is good without being loose and offers a small bit of resistance. The flavors in this 601 Habano Oscuro Green cigar include black pepper, dark, rich, roast coffee. There seems to be a bit of salty ash-like flavor in the mix as well to balance out the pepper. Speaking of ash, the ash on this cigar is a bit flakier than the other cigars in the 601 line but it wasn't terrible. The burn line tends to flare a bit here and there but it mostly corrected itself along the way. The 601 Habano Oscuro Green is a great cigar if you love the bold peppery spice of Don Pepin.
