America's #1 Online Cigar Auction
first, best, biggest!

I'm curious about these also. If Matt Booth is still involved with Room 101, will he insist on the same blend and same quality as the original release?

I thought the Ichiban line came out several years ago??
Maybe this is a cbid, et al exclusive..........”smells” like a budget cigar to me...

This alone will make me avoid the entire brand: "Titanium rings, gold jewelry, fine threads… Just a few of the reasons Room101 is synonymous with luxury and elegance. Many celebrities have been seen sporting Room101’s jewelry or burning their cigars, and now you can be among them." F**king lame.

Matt made his bucks in the jewelry business and then decided to start bending and selling cigars. Some of his original ones were (and still are) amazing. No doubt some people bought them - at pretty high prices - just for the status or because of the name and the fancy -and sometimes goofy - boxes and bands, but that didn't change the fact that many of them were outstanding. After the several mergers and consolidations of the companies he used to roll and distribute the cigars he left the business as he felt he no longer had the control the wanted to maintain.

Now he is back and has come out with several blends I have not yet tried but which have gotten good reviews. It would be interesting if he is truly behind these bundles and came up with a quality product without the extra bells and bling.

One of us needs to break down and buy a bundle and report, but right now I am buying as much of the old stock (Cool Arrows and MCs Roxxos) as I can afford at the MB3 place!

Ha!
They are so lame/horrible, that they’re funny...

They are awful for sure. Everytime I seen a video with Nick Labigtitty or what ever his name is, I just wanted to reach through the screen and slap the piss out of him. What I always found funny about them was you never see a bad review. I always felt like someone needed to give Labigtitty a shaggy rag and some mineral spirits to wipe the DooDoo off his lips. It is like if he kisses any more ass on these brands, blenders that they sell, his lips was going to turn into Chihuahua turds.

I had my first Uncle Lee Cigar a few weeks ago and it was great. I can't find them anywhere.

I am wondering about the cheap bundles...

.
Chief Cool Arrow is still available, and at $4-$4.50 apiece depending on vitola (when they're on sale with free shipping).

Better than Uncle Lee, by most accounts.

Soon the Chief will be like the Lee is now, completely unavailable forever.

Load up now while you still can!
.

I wished I had bought 3 or 4 boxes back when they was available. The old ichiban I could get at my local B&M up until about 6 months ago. Now they gone. He still had some of the namakubi which was a while back. Not sure if he still has any of those left or not. It is not often I get to go now. Sucks not being able to drive lol.

I love the Chief. I never got to try the MC3 Roxxo. Not sure I ever will get to but who knows.

San Andrés wrapper..... pass

You sent me an OR Ichiban in a n00b trade, it was great and very unique. Never had the uncle lee or the namakubi but, I do have some MC3s and your address!

On another site the ichiban Connecticut bundles the description reads

"One of smoothest Shade-wrapped bundles in the business, Ichiban's blend starts with a golden Ecuador Connecticut wrapper. These handmades are rolled dense with Dominican long-fillers that combine with the Connecticut wrapper to produce a premium experience that's both easy-going & wildly enjoyable. With notes of cedar & sweet hay prominent up front, there's a light spice on the finish and even a hint of vanilla in the fray. Grab a bundle and try Room 101's latest release today!"

I have yet to try em so who knows. I can't seem to find much else on them. My google has been broke for a year or two now.

I can't receive any mail at any address no more. The postal service revoked my mail privileges. Two days ago I got an order through the mail. Yeah, if you ever order a "Real Doll" make sure they nail the crate extra good. The mail man freaks out and reports you when the lid falls off and the doll falls to the ground. Especially when he sees that it is a half human half goat doll and her mechanical voice is looped in the "Do me Baaaaaaaaaaby" mode. He was trying to wrestle the 115 lbs in the middle of the street to hurry up and get it back in the box with all the neighbors watching. It was bad enough until one of the neighbors teen kids went to help him. The kid seen the shipping label and yelled out "This MFer got this thing used from Goodwill!" I guess he felt all the onlookers thought it was his and it made him feel nasty. So yep, they took away my address and, I am not allowed to own any farm animals now.

Now, that there ^
That is a professional grade mooch...

Ha!

Well regardless of long or short filler, you gotta believe these are some sort of seconds or left over tobacco from other blends just on the price and the fact that its a bundle from the guy whose M.O. was incredible boxes.

That doesn't mean they are bad at all, and, if Matt has a good-quality budget cigar, that would be a great thing.

Who's going to buy some??????

Yes sir, that would be a fantastic thing. I wish I could buy some but things being as they are and all. I hate this limited budget chit with a passion lol.

I also note a few other troubling items

-There are 101's "new" blend, the Farces here on Cbid in bundles of 20, again not like Matt or 101 to have discounting going on while still in active business, part of his whole cache' is the high-end exclusivity thing.
-There have been no updates to 101's Facebook page since last November.
-Likewise the 101 Cigar webpage has not been updated in a long-long time with still saying "coming soon" on the "where to buy" page.
-And the "Events" page only has past events from LAST Summer.
-Nothing regarding Matt or 101 on Twitter in a long time.
-I have messaged them several times with no response.

Could it be that 101 is going away AGAIN and this was a way to cheaply clear out the tobacco stock they already had????

They definitely did not go through any pains of boxing and making pretty bands for these new releases... you may be on to something there, midmofan.

What I want to know is did anyone wash it. Meh, not that it matters NOW but just wondering if I need to go get tested?

I know what you mean about a High Pressure Job. Them damn old ladies always chew my ass out when I give em the buggy with the wobbly wheels at Walmart when they come in the door. Causes me to stress and have stomach ulcers.

I forget to give the kids the smiley face sticker and they leave crying with Mama cussing me.

Manager chewed my ass out because I didn't look at the receipts and someone walked out with a 4k TV. When the alarm went off I didn't pay it no attention cause I just thought it was DrafterX walking backwards in the parking lot. Beep Beep Beep. You know.

I'm not sure how clean he got it, but I know Vincent tried to wash it... here's a log of the conversation:

Me:
F***, Vincent, what did you do to his doll?

Vincent:
I was dryin' it with my hands.

Me:
You're supposed to wash it first.

Vincent:
You watched me wash it.

Me:
I watched you get it wet.

Vincent:
I was washing it. But this stuff's hard to get off. Maybe if I had Lava or something, I coulda done a better job.

So, that's how it all happened... hope that test comes back positive, or negative, whichever one is better!

Zep will clean it up...

That's helpful for the easy in easy out option...
