Rocky Patel Premium Cigars announces release of EO Brands 601 Connecticut and 601 LaBomba


June 29, 2011 (Bonita Springs, Florida) The Rocky Patel Premium Cigar Company announced today the release of two new premium cigar lines from EO Brands – 601 Connecticut and 601 La Bomba.

“We are very proud of the 601 brand,” said EO Brands President Eddie Ortega. “The 601 Red, Green and Blue offer distinct, different styles of full bodied cigars, and we wanted to round out the 601 product portfolio with a milder cigar – but still offer something with a little kick. The 601 Connecticut has a nice, spicy start and finishes smooth and creamy. The consumer that wants 601 quality in a milder cigar is going to love 601 Connecticut.”

The 601 Connecticut comes with a beautiful Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and Binder/Filler from Cuban seed from Estelí and Jalapa regions of Nicaragua.

The Connecticut comes in four shapes: Robusto – 5x50, Toro – 6x50, Torpedo – 6 1/8x52 and Churchill – 7x48. These cigars are currently available at retail, and they cost between $7.50 and $8.00.

“With the introduction of 601 La Bomba, we wanted to deliver a cigar that had an extreme level of flavor and taste for the fans of 601,” added Ortega. “We’ve worked on this blend for over a year, and we’re very happy with the explosive power that La Bomba delivers.”

La Bomba comes in four shapes: Atom-5 1/2x46, Napalm 5x52, Nuclear 6x50 and Atomic-6x60. These cigars will be available at retail on July 1st, and they cost between $8.00 and $9.00, and they come in boxes of 10.

In other EO Brands news, EO is launching a new shape in their very popular Murcielago brand. The new Toro Grande is 6 ½ x54, and can be found where ever the Murcielago brand is sold.
