601 Maduro 20th Anniversary Toro 6"3/4 * 56

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.

The standard Toro shape is 6 inches by 50 ring gauge.

A box pressed cigar is a cigar that has a square shape. Originally, this shape came from the practice of packing round cigars tightly in cardboard boxes which are then compacted using a manual press. The cigars are thus pressed into each other and become a "squarish" or semi-square shape. Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.

This cigar is 6"3/4 inches long, or 171.45 mm.

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.

The cigar ring gauge corresponds to the diameter of a cigar, this cigar has a ring gauge of 56, so his diameter is 56/64 inches or 22.35 mm.

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).

Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.

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.

The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.

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 is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
