    Room 101 11th Anniversary

    The golden floral face tells you the who...but...you won't need that pretty face to remind you you're in Room 101 after the first puff.

    The initial puffs have a complex and cool-to-the-taste handshake of flavors that signaturizes a lot of the brand. The minty-toothpaste of the Chief Cool Arrow is there, but less than that stick offered. There's a nice pepper that slightly burns the nose. There's other stuff there, but I cannot recall what, but I also wasn't trying to grasp it all, because I just simply wanted to enjoy the blissfulness of what the 11th Anny had to offer.

    ----------

    Alan, this is your cut off, and mine too. All I will say, is that this how I want to remember it, and I was going to wait for a revisit to post a review. I'm going to reserve the rest of my first experience till after you give me your full report, or for when I get the chance to return - which I hope is very soon. 20201230_172821.jpg

    seeing how you seem to be into Room 101 what do you think of Assylum. I find them similar profiles.

    It's been probably 6 months since my last Asylum, so I cannot remember. What sticks in particular are similar from both brands?

    I have not had a room 101 since Matt's first go at it but I always found the core lines to have similar profiles. For asylum I would stick with the Straight Jacket or Medulla Oblongata in comparison to room 101's current offerings. If you are feeling feisty and want to compare big boys the Big Pay back vs Asylum's core line both in 60's are a good fight.

    Just picked up two fivers original Room 101 - Fudo Myoo and San Andres. Can't wait to dig into those.

    Loved the Asylum MO, and will try to burn the one I have soon. Never did get my hands on the SJ, but hopefully I'll get it on my next bidding run. There's also the Lobatomy and Insidious lines that I'd like to try.

    60 RG is too beefy for me, man.

    Getting way off track, I know - but any thoughts on the Pandamonium?

    Well, since TJ threw this glorious thread off track...have you had the Dragon's Milk, @Tombstone ? The New Holland Dragon's Milk stout is fucking delicious, and that stick sounds good.

    Never had it, but that Pandamonium is one beefy looking bitch.famoussmokedragon (1).jpg

    If you can find a dragons Milk snatch them all up. They have not been made in years and they aged great! They are a bit pricy but man its good.

    Insidious line is good but they have sweetend tips. Does not bother me but some people it does.

    Have not had one yet. Looks good but the B&Ms I frequent are a bit lacking on this brand.
