Resting time: 1 month


Prelight: sweet cedar, rum, wet barnyard hay and leather, firm to the touch, tipple cap

1st 1/3
Lots of smoke and perfect draw, coca powder, espresso, tea leaves, sweet cedar and sweet undertones Right at the end, a light cherry note.
Has a chewy texture with very little pepper or spice.

2nd 1/3
The burn line is very well behaved and the Room 101 is getting much more creamy smooth
The sweetness now dies down a bit and notes of spice and wood appear.
Other flavors come out also of coffee, leather and earth.

I'm getting a slight note of citrus but quickly alludes me
I now notice the citrus note more on the retrohale and easy to do, being a very smooth cigar
The Room 101 is a solid medium in strength.

Final 1/3
An added note of chocolate is a surprising welcome coming close to the end


The Room 101 reminds me a lot of the RoMa Craft Tobac Aquitaine EMH, RoMa Craft Tobac CroMagnon EMH, Drew Estate Subculture My Uzi Weighs a Ton, Man O' War Ruination Robusto #2 and the Alec Bradley MAXX 'The Fix' but………. better in all aspect of flavor, strength, aroma, complexity and a balanced finish and that's saying a lot for the company mentioned.

Love them so much I ordered a box of the Sucio (7 x 48) there that good

Smoke time: 1 hr 45 min
Score: 10 out of 10

Better make sure you have storage space before you try the Mutante, then. Love these. Thanks for the review.
IMHO, these just keep getting better as you decrease the RG. Monstro is the only one I haven't tried after my first. I thought that it was muddled...at least compared to the others. Besides, it's bigger than I generally like, anyway. That PC and Lance are fantastic cigars.

Mutante (7 x 38) is my favorite. I probably have a box and a half of them.
