    Goodbye Room101

    The Room101 line of cigars will no longer be.

    MATT BOOTH & ROOM101 LEAVE CIGAR INDUSTRY

    I've always enjoyed most of the Room101 collection; both because they were good cigars and for the creativity and flair.
    Time to seek out and stock up on some favorites.

    This seems to be another victim of the FDA meddling in the Cigar industry.

    I also believe his jewelry has taken off and has been picked up by Nordstroms.

    I'm with you!! Time to stock up.
    It's a shame to see a very good and we'll priced cigar go away.

    I'm afraid there will be more to come.

    I agree. Unless things begin to reverse, I think we will see more as the 2 year application compliance deadline approaches.

    What are your favorites from Room 101? I don't believe I've tried any.

    Alan, I have smoked several of the Daruma Mutante Lancero, both the silver label and the gold. Both are good smokes, but not mind blowing IMO. Will I smoke more of them? Yes!

    I hadn't smoked many Room 101, 3 I think, and they never did it for me. However its always sad to see a business close its doors not due to market forces, but government forces (most likely) as the driver for the decision. Hopefully you bums can scoop up some good deals on the remaining inventory still floating around.

    Both Namakubi's & both Daruma's. Most of the Namakubi's are figardos and are all pretty good. The Daruma Lance is the best to me.
    The Big Payback Robusto is a nice $5 cigar as an everyday smoke. Nothing special, but nice.
