"Strong but not pleasant"

I very much like the 601 line with 601 Blue Maduro being a favorite and 601 Red Habano being right there with the Blue. 601 Steel is very well built although I did have some uneven burn on a couple, but the main thing to me is it tastes ashy and unpleasant and seems to be made for a strength in nicotine rather than fullness of taste. I am sure some like it, but not for me.

"Excellent"

Great bang for the buck. Well constructed, full flavor profile.

"Underrated"

I was surprised of how well put together this cigar easy, burn was flawless and really good notes.

"Very very good!"

Recieved a 5 pack for free as part of a deal at Famous. These 601 s are excellent. Clean smoke with a punch!

"Excellent value for price and quality of this stick."

Always a fan of 601 line of cigars. The Steel Rod doesn’t disappoint with robust flavors from start to finish with no bite during smoking it. Definitely not a golf stick but more of an evening relaxing on the porch type.

"Impressed"

I generally let the cigars set for 30 days in humidor before smoking. I let this set a week and was not expecting much, boy was I wrong. full of flavor medium to full body, burn was great I was very pleased.

"Growing on me"

After winning a ten pack at auction I let them in thee humi for a couple of weeks. The first 3 of the pack had major burn issues. I couldn t keep the cigar lit past the first third. I was very impressed with what I was able to smoke. Good wood, light pepper, and very slight nuttiness in middle third. I left the other 7 in the humi for another 2 weeks. Burn is now perfect but the nuttiness has disappeared and the pepper has increased. This is a very smooth smoking cigar. Looking forward to more Rods to see if the consistency is good.

"Not so good..."

My cigar from a recent 5 pack was well constructed, the draw about a 6 out of 10, held it s ash very well, did have a few burn issues, and had no taste whatsoever for me.

"Great Cigar"

After going through a couple free 5 packs that I got using a promo code I got with my first order I can tell you these are very reliable and consistent good tasting cigars. Get them when they are on sale, you will not regret it.

"601 Steel Is A Keeper"

The 601 Steel is a well constructed cigar. It is medium to full bodied with good spice and plenty of smoke. There were no burn issues. I would definitely purchase again.
