Room101 Cigars 213 (Corona) Review - Crystallization!!


Room101 Cigars made by Camacho

Born in the City of Angels
Hand made in Honduras

      Before starting the Room101 Corona (213) review, I want to announce here that something happened today and it really surprised me.

One of my Room101 213 is starting to crystallize!!

      It's very rare to see a cigar is start to crystallize and somebody say that the crystallized cigars are the best of the best. I asked my friends from a cigar forum (Havana Cigar Club) to check out, and they are pretty sure it's crystallization. 
      I didn't put it in a expensive humidor but only keep 70/70. It was put in my travel humidor (Yes, a travel size because my humidor is in seasoning now!) and a humidifier was put in too. That's all! So, only reason for crystallization that I could think about is that the Room101 Cigar has its potential to be the best of the best!  

Look at the small white spot!
White Spots are over the body of 213

      Okay, Let's back to the review and some pics!

Cigar: Room 101 by Camacho 
Size: 44 x 5 1/2 (The 213 / Corona) 
Wrapper: Semilla 101 (Honduras) 
Binder: Honduras 
Filler: Honduras & Dom. Rep.
Strength: Medium to Full

      It's a perfectly rolled cigar. It is medium to full body, very consistent  and full of nice leather and cedar flavor. 

Never need to be relight!

      At the 1/3, light leather note and spicy woody dominant flavor are in this 213. In the 2/3, cedar and oily flavor came out and spicy gradually died down. (I especially enjoyed this part). At the final, the flavor of oily and cedar continues to the end.

      Overall, it's a wonderful cigar and I had a great 30 minutes. I would love to try another 213 in anytime.

      Somebody say that the Cuban cigars are the best and better than non-Cubans but I can not agree.

      This Room101 213 is competitive in every way to a Cuban. In my opinion, it's  actually better than many of Cuban cigars. I never tried a bad one from Room101 Cigars, but I've tried many Cuban cigars which were not well-rolled. 

      In short, Room101 213 is a great cigar and could be enjoyed for everyone (not for under 21) in anytime.
