According to their mission statement, “Espinosa Cigars is committed to creating cigars of superior quality.” Their 601 Maduro is proof positive that Espinosa Cigars backs up their words with finely crafted products. The 601 Maduro is a Nicaraguan puro that is made of perfectly aged, long-filler tobaccos, and wrapped in a rich, dark oily broadleaf maduro wrapper for a full-strength smoking experience. A full-bodied, hand-rolled cigar, the 601 Maduro has a well-balanced flavor profile that consists of sweet tobacco and is highlighted by an enticing aroma. Once you smoke the 601 Maduro, it won’t take you too long to realize why it was awarded the #6 Cigar of the Year spot by Cigar Aficionado in 2009.

Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.
Strength

Full
Wrapper Color
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper
Nicaraguan
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Nicaraguan cigar wrappers are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Wrappers grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro wrappers are all produced in Nicaragua.
Binder
Nicaragua
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.
Filler
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
La Zona
La Zona is Erik Espinosa's cigar factory located in the foothils of Esteli, Nicaragua. The factory is also the headquarters for Espinosa Cigars in Nicaragua.

Noah Just ordered a box of these. Curious as to the date (Or at least reads like a date) on the bottom side of the box. Is this a rolled on date? Or a best by date?

Posted 8/24/2020

NeptuneCigar.com Hi Noah, if you see a date stamp it is not a best by date. It is likely the boxing date or rolling date.

Pete S.03/07/2023About: 601 Maduro Box Press Robusto 5"1/4 * 52

Perfect for when you don't have time for a 56.

Carlos D.03/06/2023About: 601 Maduro Box Press Prominente 5"1/2 * 56

I enjoyed this cigar. It was a total full body to me, but it was nice and smooth.

Kaihe T.12/14/2022About: 601 Maduro Box Press Toro 6"1/4 * 54

Full-bodied and flavorful. Peppery segments and savory taste. Great burn, draw, and construction. Very consistent with each stick.

George P.12/03/2022About: 601 Maduro Box Press Toro 6"1/4 * 54

Erik Espinosa is known for making great cigars. In my opinion, this 601 Maduro Box Press Toro is the one that put him on the map. In case you didn't know, 601 stands for the date when he first launched his line, June 1st. This cigar starts off with a medium-full body strength. A nice spicy note and nutty flavor are also present from the get-go. The draw and taste are awesome so far. The burn is perfect. At the halfway point, the strength picks up to a full body strength. The nutty notes are still present, and I am definitely not complaining. The spicy notes pick up a bit right around now as well. Upon retrohale, you can pick up a nice cedar note. The burn and draw are still going great. Towards the end of the cigar, all the notes mentioned, along with potent full body strength, is still present. The consistency is awesome, and I wouldn't be surprised if its partly due to this stick being a 100% Nicaraguan puro. This is one cigar you should try if you want to go old school. A nice oak whiskey like Johnnie Walker Double Black would pair nicely and hit the spot just right. Enjoy, my friends.

My husband said they were a little dry. The wrapper was peeling off but the taste was still good . The box before was excellent

al l.04/06/2022About: 601 Maduro Box Press Robusto 5"1/4 * 52

One of the most enjoyable maduro cigars I have ever smoked. If you like maduro cigars this one is a must have.

Pete S.09/26/2022About: 601 Maduro Box Press Prominente 5"1/2 * 56

Burns good down to just before wrapper then slows.

Jim L.04/25/2022About: 601 Maduro Box Press Prominente 5"1/2 * 56

Nice smoke on a Sunday afternoon on the porch

Frank V.03/08/2022About: 601 Maduro Box Press Toro 6"1/4 * 54

Great tasting stick !

James G.02/27/2022About: 601 Maduro Box Press Robusto 5"1/4 * 52

Great construction. Perfect draw for me (very slight resistance). Amazing aroma and smoke volume. Didn't look oily like others have suggested, but I don't see this as a positive or negative. Full, good tasting flavour. There seemed a slightly high, slightly unbalanced amount of pepper in the first third leading to a bit of roughness, but was still good. I suspect 6-12 months in the humidor will sort this. Nevertheless, I can still recommend.

Jim S.02/06/2022About: 601 Maduro Box Press Prominente 5"1/2 * 56

Great cigar, nice m-f profile and draw. Prominente is the perfect shorter stick for the cold Chi winter.

Excellent cigar! Strong, but not overboard, would call it full flavored. Construction is immaculate and it cuts precisely. Easy flow of abundant smoke; it was rolled well. Very enjoyable cigar, easily 90-92 rating!

Great cigar....Maduro at its best. Full flavor with coco powder and chocolate.

al m.09/01/2019About: 601 Maduro Box Press Prominente 5"1/2 * 56

Great construction nicely compact with plenty of flavors of coffee cocoa and spice flavorful from end to end

Lewis D.06/26/2019About: 601 Maduro Box Press Prominente 5"1/2 * 56

It started off with really good spice and a bold flavor right after it was lit. Those flavors faded too quickly and the rest of the cigar was even flavored. I wish it had kept up with the initial kick. The 601 habano for me is a better deal and I don't plan on getting this one for a long time, not at this price.

chris d.06/03/2019About: 601 Maduro Box Press Robusto 5"1/4 * 52

Starting to be one of my favorite cigars

Phillip J.01/18/2019About: 601 Maduro Box Press Robusto 5"1/4 * 52

This is a very good tasting Cigar. It has multiple notes which includes a non over powering sweetness. Also it pairs very well with spice rum on ice or with a hint of coke soda.

Fernando G.12/15/2018About: 601 Maduro Box Press Robusto 5"1/4 * 52

Paul R.09/19/2018About: 601 Maduro Box Press Prominente 5"1/2 * 56

Bought a box to try since it had a 91 rating. It had a even burn with a mild taste. I didn't find it to have much of an aroma. Would buy again if on sell.

John H.09/16/2018About: 601 Maduro Box Press Toro 6"1/4 * 54

Great after dinner smoke. Pairs well with some bourbon. Also great customer service from Neptune, as usual.

The 601 Maduro is very pleasant smoke. The draw is alway consistent and the taste are all the way thru. I believe it's one of the cleanest burning Maduors on the market A+++

I haven't bought this cigar for awhile, I was missing out. This cigar does everything well, and is priced at a very good price.

This is the best cigar Espinosa has made.

Mitchell M.09/16/2017About: 601 Maduro Box Press Robusto 5"1/4 * 52

Beautiful stick with the blue and gold over the dark and oily maduro wrap. Excellent easy draw. Some uneven burning but would self correct. Cold draw tasted of coffee, dark chocolate, and earth. Smoke was similar with less earthiness and a more pronounced chocolate and dark tobacco flavour. Very pleasant smooth taste with lots of smoke and a solid medium to medium-full strength, leaving me a nice little nic buzz by the final third. Really enjoyed this one. Looked great in my humidor, felt great in my hand, burned decently, and tasted great. Would recommend and would buy again.

Josh G.04/25/2017About: 601 Maduro Box Press Robusto 5"1/4 * 52

Not bad for a box press.

Jose V.04/20/2017About: 601 Maduro Box Press Toro 6"1/4 * 54

Jeffery Scott B.03/09/2017About: 601 Maduro Box Press Toro 6"1/4 * 54

Never heard of this cigar before coming to this site. Missed the review in Cigar Aficionado. Excellent Smoke, wish they made a larger one, and Neptune asssues the best there is always fresh. Never a problem. If you like a Fuente Maduro try this Blue Label 5 Stars Easy!

damien h.03/01/2012About: 601 Maduro Box Press Robusto 5"1/4 * 52

nice

R R.12/19/2011About: 601 Maduro Box Press Prominente 5"1/2 * 56

I'm not a box pressed fan, but if I was, this would be a cigar to consider. Excellent construction, draw, and ash. Though I wouldn't buy a box, I'll keep a few on hand to enjoy from time to time.

Mickey T.09/18/2011About: 601 Maduro Box Press Robusto 5"1/4 * 52

This was my 1st 601 Blue and I have to say it was an absolute delight to smoke this beauty that I am a little saddened that it was my only one. I only had to relight it one time which was a bummer, but it happens. The appearance was dark and oily a very good thing. I used my punch instead my cutter I prefer the punch to cutting which makes my draws so much better and with the 601 this was no different, this had an amazing draw. The burn as I stated above I had a little issue with, but only one re-light so that was ok by me. The aroma could be described as chocolate mixed with a leathery woodsy taste, but really got me was the smoke smell, after I exhaled I sniffed at the lingering smoke and swear I smelt nuts or almonds. It started out tasting very strong then it got more mild, maybe I was just getting used to it, but the strong taste came back before it ended. I would very much buy a box of these.
