CIGARFOX: Room 101 Cigar Review


Born in the City of Angels, Hand Made in Honduras

Matt Booth, the creator of luxury lifestyle brand Room 101 partnered with Camacho cigars to create the bold new Room 101 line of cigars.

Room101 has been featured in top lifestyle, fashion, and specialty magazines worldwide, and has made appearances on major network television so you know that this brand really has alot of CLASS.

Room 101 is not only a cigar company it's also a manufacturer of custom smoker accessories. Products offered are Made to Measure Suits , Custom Made Knives , and yes the original Jewlery line.

Lets talk about how Matt actually got into the cigar business , one night at a Las vegas after party , at the time matt was working on a smokers accessory (cutters, lighters and even special humidors). Cristian Eiora presented the idea of creating a cigar to accompany these accessories or vice versa. Sooner than later Matt was touring the Camacho facility in Danli Honduras , Matt was given the “cigar 101” by Cristian explaning the process from start to finish , Matt was blow away by what actually goes into making a hand made cigar and from then on changed his views on cigars forever. Matt’s Jewellery and other room 101 products are all unique in their own way. For instance the way he named the sizes of the cigars . He named each cigar after an AREA CODE , , 305 is Miami, , 404 is Atlanta, codes 213 is Los Angeles, 702 is Las Vegas, 808 is Hawaii and 323 is Hollywood the city of angels . Now these cigars are a new comer to the Cigar business being released at the 2009 IPCPR in New Orleans, but let me tell you I know they’ll be around for a while , not only because there backed up by Camacho but simply because they taste GOOD. Nothing better than a cigar that you enjoy right, like I’ve said before every cigar has a story and this is Matt’s story . I Met matt in December of 2009 this was when his cigar was still “fresh of the press” we talked for a good twenty minutes about fashion and jewelry then we got to cigars he explained to me how cigars is a lifestyle and so is Room 101 , Matt puts his heart and soul into his business and I truly respect that , someone that works hard at something to make sure its a unique experience deserves credit , and credit goes out to Matt Booth BIG TIME . more credit i must give to matt is for being a proud supporter of the wounded warrior project



The cigar



the Band on this cigar is very interesting has that edgy Los Angeles look to it , the wrapper is oily and slightly veiny wich also gives it that edgy look, what makes this cigar interesting as well is the 3 seam cap, what makes this cigar so special is the wrapper which is a SEMIA 101 and the only cigar to contain this wrapper is the room 101 cigars hybrid Nicaraguan/ Honduran wrapper, this to me is a very unique feature. This cigar let out beautiful pre light aroma of coco chocolate with a beautiful tobacco scent , the first third had some very evident earthy notes with peppery undertones ,followed by a few hints of some black cherry type flavours , the second third turned into a Cocco chocolate , espresso type flavours , just beautiful, the final third became more bodied but still stayed in the medium range some earthy , pepery coco notes were present,





Summary

all in all I really enjoyed this cigar alot , the ash was flaky but it remained strong , the draw was perfect , aside from the first third the burn was also flawless , lots of great coco , peper, espresso and earthy flavours in a beautiful medium bodied cigar with great presentation , and a cool story to follow why not try something different for change thats the 101 on ROOM 101 CIGARS .
