Room 101 by Camacho Cigars
Posted By ironmeden on January 21, 2010
So you want to find out how stupid a state tax department can be? A few years ago Elvis and I invested a small amount of money to find out if it would be worth opening a new cigar shop. During this process we purchased a tobacco license from the state of Minnesota. This license when the store is open gives us the right to purchase tobacco. Since we never opened the store, we kept the license but never used it. We still had to send in monthly statements to list how much tobacco we purchased, which every month was $0. Today we receive word from the state of Minnesota that we are being audited for our tobacco license, which expired the first of the year. So the state of Minnesota is wasting somebody’s time to audit a tobacco license which was never used which they have proof of mailings every month of a total of $0. They are spending hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars to audit $0. Please don’t tell me that any government official has out best interests in mind!
Room 101
The Room 101 cigar is a creation of Matt Booth of the infamous Room 101 with Camacho Cigars. For more information on the Room 101 line of cigar go to Room 101 Cigars.
Wrapper: Semilla 101 (Honduras) This wrapper is an exclusive seed created for the Room 101 cigar grown by the Eiroa Family.
Binder: Honduras
Filler: Honduras and Dominican
The wrapper has a medium brown shade. The wrapper has a bumpy appearance coming up from some parts of the wrapper. There are 2 bands both with a black and silver color tone. I like the simplicity of the design. The size I’m smoking is the 305 which is a Robusto size.
I punched the cigar and lit it with my Colibri triple flame lighter. The first flavors I get are of a sweet vanilla, but right behind that is a slight bitter aftertaste. A strong wood note stands out. The cigar produces a lot of smoke.
At the 1/4 mark the cigar has a hint of spice. The bitterness is still prevalent, but doesn’t take away from the enjoyment of the cigar. The wrapper does start to have a burn issue. I touch is up slightly. It still gives off a lot of smoke.
Halfway through, the burn is still a problem, again I touch it up. Its still exhibiting the strong wood flavor.
At the 3/4 mark the cigar ramps up in spice. My tongue is on fire at this point.
Overall the cigar is good but there really are no other flavors then the strong wood flavor. The spice in the cigar is quite surprising at the end. I give this cigar a 3 out of 5. Rating:
