BLACK FRIDAY - Room 101 Farce Connecticut Robusto Cigar - 1 Single (End of Line)

Date Added: Thursday 16 October, 2025 by Barry

Absolutely beautiful looking cigar, slightly oily to the touch with a stunning mocha coloured, smooth wrapper, combined with the beautiful looking bands makes for a really understated but classy looking cigar. Incredibly packed, feels heavy in the hand, quite a tight draw, initially cut with a single V, I needed a second V to open it up, even then smoke output is thin...needs 2 or 3 draws to get decent amounts. Very smooth, slightly sweet, slightly creamy upfront followed by roasted almond, black pepper and some gentle leather and coffee. Ash retention is around an inch or so and quite flakey, burn is slightly uneven but no corrections needed. Amount of draws needed for decent amount of smoke leads to slight overheating. Decent enough, not sure I'd have another.

Room 101 Farce was definitely one of the more unique smokes I’ve had as a beginner. It’s marketed as a complex, medium-to-full-bodied blend, and that complexity really came through. On the first few puffs, I got this interesting mix of earth, pepper, and a subtle sweetness, almost like dried fruit. The flavors shifted quite a bit as it went along, which kept me on my toes. At times, there was cocoa and espresso; other times, more wood and spice. The construction was solid, though I did need one touch-up on the burn. The draw was easy, and the smoke output was thick and satisfying. I can see why people say this cigar has layers—it felt like it kept evolving, which was exciting but also a little challenging for someone new like me. It’s definitely not a one-note cigar, and I think that makes it worth trying if you want to push your palate. The strength built toward the end, with more pepper and richness, but it never got overwhelming. Overall, I enjoyed it, though I’d say it’s better suited for when you’re in the mood to pay attention. Rating: 7/10

Recieved as part of the monthly subscription. Not fantastic and deffo not worth 20£. Very loose ash and draw wasnt great. Could have been a bad stick but as my only time trying have to go by it. Wouldnt go for it again.

Got this cigar in my monthly subscription, lovely smoke, nice wrapper, even burn, paired it with a tamnuvulin whisky, lovely tastes of nuts to start with then into a sweet caramel taste, with pepper notes at the last quater, the best cigar Ive smoked to date, nice smoke not too harsh, highly recommended
