601 Connecticut and 601 La Bomba

EO Brands put out some good news a few days ago for its fans, as it announced the release of its 601 Connecticut and 601 La Bomba lines. Both are now available for purchase, and both had been in the works for some time before being officially released. One was made for those seeking a milder smoke, while the other packs a mighty punch.

The 601 Connecticut features a filler and binder of Nicaraguan Cuban Seed tobaccos from the nation's fertile Esteli and Jalapa regions. The highlight of the cigar is its Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. Eddie Ortega, President of EO Brands, discussed the Connecticut line in the official press release: “We are very proud of the 601 brand. The 601 Red, Green and Blue offer distinct, different styles of full bodied cigars, and we wanted to round out the 601 product portfolio with a milder cigar – but still offer something with a little kick. The 601 Connecticut has a nice, spicy start and finishes smooth and creamy. The consumer that wants 601 quality in a milder cigar is going to love 601 Connecticut.”

The 601 Connecticut is offered in four sizes: the 5 x 50 Robusto, 6 x 50 Toro, 6 1/8 x 52 Torpedo, and 7 x 48 Churchill. The cigars range in price from $7.50 to $8 per single, depending on size.

On the opposite side of the strength spectrum is the 601 La Bomba. Ortega had this to say about the power of La Bomba: “With the introduction of 601 La Bomba, we wanted to deliver a cigar that had an extreme level of flavor and taste for the fans of 601. We’ve worked on this blend for over a year, and we’re very happy with the explosive power that La Bomba delivers.”

Look for La Bomba in one of the following sizes: the 5 x 5 Napalm, 5 1/2 x 46 Atom, 6 x 50 Nuclear, and 6 x 60 Atomic. Each comes packed in boxes of 10, with a suggested retail price of $8 to $9 per single.
