601 La Bomba Nuclear

If you thought you knew strong cigars, think again— 601 La Bomba is sure to join the ranks of the strongest cigars you’ve ever smoked. These Nicaraguan-made firecrackers were blended by Erik Espinosa and each features a fuse-like pigtail trailing down the cigar from the cap. Hand rolled in Esteli, Nicaragua, 601 La Bomba boasts extra-dark Nicaraguan Habano wrappers and spicy interior leaves from Nicaragua, culminating in a legitimate powerhouse of a smoke with big, bold notes of leather, espresso, red pepper, and a slight hint of molasses sweetness on the finish. A word of warning: smoke slowly, and after a sizeable meal.
