Cigars can't be returned once shipped. Damaged or wrong items replaced or refunded. Returns
The 601 line traces back to E/O Brands, the company Erik Espinosa co-founded with Eddie Ortega, with the blue-banded 601 Maduro launching in 2006 and going on to become the line's best-known release. When E/O Brands was dissolved, Espinosa took 601 and Murcielago with him to Espinosa Premium Cigars. The 601 Blue 20th Anniversary is a limited edition announced ahead of the 2026 PCA Convention & Trade Show and shipped to retailers in May 2026, marking two decades of the line with roughly 4,000 boxes produced.
A dark Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper — the same varietal used on the regular 601 Blue — over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos. Built as a 6 3/4 x 56 parejo finished with a distinctive oval press, a format the line had never used before. Hand-rolled at AJ Fernandez's San Lotano Factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua. Box count: 10 cigars.
Full-bodied and rich — dark chocolate, espresso, black pepper, and earth with a maduro sweetness over a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, and a long finish.
Alcoholic: a cask-strength bourbon or an aged rum. Non-Alcoholic: a dark espresso.
An after-dinner cigar for the seasoned smoker. Allow 60–75 minutes.
