EO 601 Green Label Cigar Review

December 10, 2007

I reviewed the EO 601 Oscuro Tronco shorty after the RTDA 2007 Trade Show, recently I got a box of the La Fuerzas in the mail from EO Brands and I wanted to give this cigar another go to see if the latest productions held up to the same quality as the cigar I got at the show. Upon examining the box I’ve noticed they are putting a date on the box. I really like this added touch, this way you know the exact age of the cigars you’re buying. The box date on mine was 6-OCT-2007, so look for another review of these in October, 2008 as I see how the cigar responds after a year of aging.
