The Room 101 LTD Namakubi, an offshoot of the Room 101 brand, was inspired by Japan’s Samurai culture. According to the tale, after Samurai clans battled, a freshly severed head from the losing party would be prepared on a wooden tray then tagged in a regimented manner and presented to the leader of the winning clan. Thankfully, the attractive Namakubi black satin boxes only hold cigars. The boxes are artfully decorated with red lettering conceived by brand owner Matt Booth. There are five sizes but the standout was the Roxxo, a 4 inch by 48 ring short robusto that scored 90 points, the only cigar in the line to break into the 90-point percentile. The cigars come 20 to the box, with 1,000 boxes of each size, save for the Papi Chulo, which is packed 50 to the box and is limited to 400 boxes. The Namakubis are made by Camacho and distributed by Davidoff.

As with most of Room 101′s recent releases (Connecticut, LTD Conjura, and LTD Namakubi), I was fairly impressed with this blend. Burn issues aside, the OSOK Filero is well constructed (and those burn issues were probably caused by the young age of the cigar, as I smoked it pretty soon after receiving it), well-balanced and a flavorful blend that works perfectly in the vitola it is made in, and I LOVE the size. I am VERY interested to see how different each of the other larger two vitolas are and how the profile will change. If you love smaller cigars, this is going to be one you want to try out.

In need of a last-minute holiday gift for that special cheesy biker in your life? Well, you’re in luck. Guy Fieri, the animated Food Network star with the signature spiky blond tips is venturing into the jewelry world.
The Food Network’s “food dude” hosts the show that makes you gain 5 pounds just by watching (“Diners, Drive-ins and Dives”), has his own cooking show (“Guy’s Big Bite”), sells his own line of cookware and sauces, and now, just in time for the holidays, a jewelry line.
“This stuff is off-da-hook. It’s some killer bling. There’s a dog tag, cufflinks, a bracelet — the works,” wrote Fieri on Opensky.com, a website that sells the jewelry.
Pieces in Fieri’s line include chunky silver items adorned with black-and-silver stars. Fieri designed the line for Room 101, a company that makes biker-ish-style silver jewelry and leather jackets and was founded by Matthew Booth.

The Namakubi is one of my favorites from Room 101 because it is such a versatile smoke. I can smoke this cigar any time of day and pair it with almost any libation. From a morning coffee to an evening Scotch and everything in between, the Namakubi will surely appeal to a large segment of cigar smokers.

Cigar manufacturers have constantly raised the bar, pushing the limits of blends, and Camacho did just that when they created the Room 101 Namakubi. It’s a hell of a cigar. One big characteristic was the flavor as it produced an experience unlike any cigars on the market today. Each year cigars like this one raise our expectations. This full bodied flavor bomb is sure to satisfy the most experience cigar smoker as well as introduce any novice to a world of great cigars. I would by again and it’s box worthy for sure.
