601 Oscuro Trabuco Review

601 Oscuro on thegarshop copyBefore I get into the review, here’s the stats on the 601 Green Label. The Trabuco is a 6 1/8 x 58 and it’s from Nicaragua. It is wrapped in a beautiful Nicaraguan Habano Oscuro wrapper and is filled and binded with Nicaraguan tobacco.

Now for the fun stuff, the smoke. The first third of the 601 Green Label is super strong and very full bodied to the point of you don’t want to smoke one on an empty stomach, which is true of all the cigars in the 601 line. The flavor profile of the Green Label is spicy but definitely has notes of cocoa and coffee. It has a lot of flavor for a big cigar.

The second third remains very strong yet it is very smooth for a full bodied smoke. The spicy flavor remains into the second third, but the cocoa and coffee notes diminish greatly. The burn on this smoke is great and the draw is easy.

The Green Label finishes very smooth, yet never lacked strength. The spiciness remains throughout the entire cigar, while some sweetness comes through in the end. Overall the 601 Green Label is an awesome full bodied cigar, a solid 4 ½ out of 5 flames cigar.

Until next time, Happy Smoking!

Arturo Fuente Hemingway Classic Sun Grown Review

Fuente on The Gar Shop copyThe Hemingway series is one of Fuente’s premier lines that are special because it’s one of the few smokes that are rolled in the old school perfecto shape and up until now have come in either a Cameroon natural or maduro wrapper and uses Dominican filler and binders. The Hemingway Classic is a 7 x 48 Churchill and its sun grown wrapper is almost maduro dark.

I will say that I have had a lot of experience with both the Hemingway Classic natural and Maduro, which is one of the best constructed cigars I have ever smoked. What’s new about the Sun Grown is that in the first third, it is a lot stronger than the maduro and the smoky sweet flavor is more prevalent than in the other two versions.

About half way through the cigar, the smoke transitions to a mellow spicy flavor with some smokiness akin to burning cedar. The draw is tough in the beginning of the smoke, which is common for the perfecto shapes, but by the second third it is nice and effortless. The burn of the Classic S.G. is impeccable, a common trait among Fuentes.

Now the last third of the Classic S.G. was mildly bitter, which was disappointing, but overall still a good smoke. It burned great and the draw was effortless past the first few puffs. Overall I would give the Hemingway Classic Sun Grown 3 out of 5 flames.

Until next time, Happy Smoking!
