My local cigar store received the Papi Chulo (which I’m reviewing today), Roxxo and Monstro. Garrett Calhoun, the infamous,of Davidoff, gave myself and Shawn a sample on his visit to the shop when the shop ordered. I was blown away. Since then I’ve probably smoked at least half a box of the Papi Chulos.

I really enjoyed the Namakubi and find it the best of all the 101 sticks produced so far. While I still think the Tiburon might be the best size, I have no regrets in buying the box of Roxxo and expect that I’ll be enjoying them the rest of this year and into next. As for body and strength, this never got beyond the medium to full range and the nicotine hit was never all that strong. I could easily recommend these, in this size at least, to anyone but the newest of smokers.

I would say this cigar is very complex, and not a cigar that a new or amateur cigar smokers would truly enjoy. I say this because of how difficult all the flavors are to pick up. Some smokers would not get them and think it was a boring smoke, when it is really far from that. The strength is a true medium bodied smoke, and I think any cigar smoker could enjoy it. I will definitely be enjoying these often in the future, and I give this cigar a 93. Excellent job Matt Booth, excellent job!

The stuff being released by Room 101 lately has been really good. The Connecticut was a nice surprise and the Namakubi is a cigar worth losing your head over. A nice flavor profile and perfect burn make this a cigar worth buying by the box.

A few weeks ago I attended one of the first stops on the Room 101 Cigars Cigarmaggedon tour at The Village Tobacconist in Fairlawn Ohio. (Here’s some video Matt Booth (owner of Room 101) shot of me and my friend Dan.) I had a great time, as always, hanging out with the guys and smoking some new sticks. While I was there I was handed a sample of a new cigar still being tweeked by Matt Booth and still in pre-release stage named One Shot One Kill. At least that’s what the band says, so I am guessing that will be the name. This is a pre-release so who knows. I asked Matt for a quote about the cigar or any specifics and here is his response.
Quote Matt Booth: “I refuse your request sir.”
If you know Matt this will not come as a surprise to you because, I can assure you, he meant nothing harsh by that comment and that he’s just being his normal joking self. So with all of that said, this review will be pretty much uninformed and just what I thought of the stick.

The Room101 Connecticut was just an overall wonderful cigar. Velvety soft to the touch , slight veins, good construction, and most important of all a balanced complex spiced Connecticut blend that won’t quit. Don’t wait to try this cigar for you will every moment spend that you could have enjoyed this fine cigar.

“This cigar wasn’t blended to kick anyone’s ass, it was blended to make cigar smokers appreciate the art that went into it. This will NOT be the last one I smoke. Look for a box to appear in a humidor near me. You should probably get some for yourself as well, because you can’t have one of mine.”

The First Third starts with an interesting combination of flavors…wood, leather and espresso, but also a nice sweetish floral note that really set everything else off…there is a bit of spice on the tongue, just enough to notice and comment on…

2011 has proven to be a big year for Matt Booth and his Room 101 line. This year, two new blends joined the Room 101 portfolio. At the 2011 IPCPR, I admit, I really got hooked on the new Room 101 Connecticut. In some ways this release caught me off-guard as much of the attention prior to the trade show was around the other release – Room 101 Namakubi. Booth was kind enough to offer me a sample of the Namakubi blend, and I’ve had a chance to smoke it. The end result is that Room 101 has delivered a 1-2 punch with two great releases as the Namakubi proved to be a great smoke.
