With our Corona Cigar Contest coming to a close, it was about time to get another one in motion. This time, we were fortunate enough to receive a free box of Room 101 Cigars courtesy of Camacho and Room 101. The box up for grabs is the 11/18 size which goes by the 702 area code. (more…)
Today is 10/1/09, and the Room101 Conspiracy is in full effect. It has been a long 18 months, and here we are! Room101 cigars are now shipping to retailers nationwide, and launch events will begin poppin’ off across the globe. A special thanks and much respect to all that helped make this possible, to Christian Eiroa, and to the Camacho Cigars famliy. GET MADE!
Christian Eiroa of Camacho Cigars, unboxes the new Room101 cigars minutes after they land at Camacho’s Miami warehouse. Room101 Cigars will be available at select retailers nationwide on 10/1/09. For more information about Room101, please visit: http://www.room101cigars.com
So the long awaited Room 101 Cigars will soon be out. There are and will be multiple launch parties throughout the US. Be sure to check out Events and News for local dates or visit Room 101’s Site or Facebook Page for more details.
Room 101 Cigars is the brain child (or love child) of Matt Booth and Camacho Cigars. “It’s an extension of my luxury lifestyle brand and a collaborative effort between myself and Camacho.” –Matt Booth. With such names behind it you can’t but hope it will be great. Matt Booth said in an interview at the IPCPR Trade Show that “It’s a collective of things that I dig, and I love smoking cigars.”… “It’s just another facet of that; it’s just something from my life; it’s my personal meditation cigar smoking.”
I heard good things about these smokes from those who went to the convention and I was dying to try them. Unfortunately they haven’t really begun to show up at shops around the country but I was lucky enough to have a few sent by request. So I thank the good people of Camacho cigars for these un-banded samples. They included a kick ass t-shirt and bandanna along with the smokes. >>Click here to read the full review

When this new Camacho cigar was announced, the immediate reaction I had was that it was just one more stick that was being promoted to death that would never live up to it’s billing. (“The Room 101 Cigar collection will be a blend of attitude, culture, celebrity, and some of the world’s finest tobaccos” screams the press release…)
The fact that the Room 101 cigar is a joint project with Los Angeles jeweler Mat Booth (who owns the Room 101 jewelry brand) only intensified the feeling in my gut. On the surface, it seemed to be a cigar that was made ONLY for promotion (*COUGH* Opus Lost City *COUGH*), with the cigar thrown in merely as an afterthought…
