Gordo · 75–90 min smoke · The modern 6×60 — a big-ring crowd-pleaser. Cooler, smoother smoke from the mass of filler, but it marries slowly and wants extra rest.
At the counter · Needs a wide-gauge cutter; toast the broad fully and evenly, then keep a deliberate pace — the thick ring runs cool but smokes long.

Cigar press, enthusiast communities, and your own log — all in one place.
“The 601 Blue 20th Anniversary is right near the edge between 'good' and 'very good,' with perhaps its most unique trait holding it back. The cigar's overall flavor was an extremely well-executed version of the sum of its parts.”Read on halfwheel
