Quick Smoke: Room 101 Master Collection Two Papi Chulo

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

This little smoke, weighing in at 4 inches long with a ring gauge of 42, has a Criollo wrapper, Honduran binder, and Nicaraguan and Honduran filler. It opens with spice and then features the hints of vanilla and the leather often associated with Honduran tobacco. The spice drops off in the second half and the cigar becomes deeper and warmer. At $8, Papi Chulo is expensive for a small smoke, but this limited edition is interesting and well worth a try.

Verdict = Buy.
