601 Bunker Buster FUBAR Release Scheduled for June 21
There’s another 601 Bunker Buster heading to Smoke Inn.
On June 21, the South Florida retailer will release the 601 La Bomba Connecticut Bunker Buster FUBAR, a follow-up to the 2014 601 Bunker Buster. The new release is a 5 1/2 x 56 box-pressed perfecto that uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut over an undisclosed binder and fillers from Estelí and Jalapa, Nicaragua. It is rolled at the La Zona Cigar factory in Estelí.
“There’s a term used in the military,” said Erik Espinosa Jr., vp of Espinosa Premium Cigars, in a press release. “One that I’ve become accustomed to through the many hours spent smoking with the fine men and women of our armed forces: FUBAR. The word starts with the letter ‘F’ and ends with the meaning, ‘Up Beyond All Recognition;’ I’ll let smokers connect the dots.”
The new release is packaged in boxes of 10, with each cigar individually placed in a paper coffin with one of four designs.
Pricing is set at $9.50 per cigar and it is limited to 500 boxes.
Update: The original version of this story indicated the cigar was limited to 5,000 boxes, not 500.
