Thoughts? Snagged a box on accident... never been into room 101 but I don't necessarily dislike them...

Didn't know there were any floating around.....Great cigar --- not quite worth MSRP, IMO, but pretty awesome if much below

I love a lot of Room 101 stuff. Have heard good things about these ones but don't think I have had one. Looks like a great price.

little perfecto?

Good deal, as long as shipping wasn't a big factor. My favorite size. I love that wrapper and it is a bit muted on the bigger vitolas -- the small rob is good, also; not to say the honking perfectos aren't...but that ecuador habano wrapper is one of my favorites

not a huge fan of de, but I've always liked the uc in that size... one of the first good (non-gurka) cigars I remember smoking when I first started so it's probably a sentimental thing...

I have had two (different vitolas but can't remember which) and was unimpressed, especially considering the rave reviews.

At under 4 a stick I'd likely try another.

I am fond of Booths Room 101. The Namakubi was pretty dang decent in my book.

Namakubi's just arrived... lit one up... much stronger than expected... 1/3 of the way in, and I'm a fan thus far...

I'm almost disappointed :)

I thought I'd get an offer to buy nine for cheap.



I can only guess that jj and gummy were speaking of the base line, not the Ecuadors. Never heard from anyone that disliked the Ecuadors. But, of course taste is subjective....everybody else's anyway. Mine's great.

The first Namakubi PCs were one of the best cigars I've had. Tried some since and it was chasing dragons....decent cigars

#13 is correct. Missed the ecuador part in the post or maybe didn't know there was an Ecuadorian version or both.
