601 Blue Box-Pressed Maduro is an excellent choice when searching for a rich, medium to full-bodied cigar that tantalizes the palate with a natural sweetness. Bold and complex, this cigar is packed tightly with Cuban-seed Nicaraguan long-fillers, producing a thick and creamy smoke that offers a spicy-sweet aroma. The Nicaraguan maduro wrapper adds a natural sweetness to the blend, creating a perfectly balanced cigar as the box-pressed shape allows for a slow and even burn. 601 Box-Pressed Maduro offers a long finish, and is an excellent choice after a hearty meal.
