Room101 Who Shot Ya in Toro by Room101 Cigars

COVID-19 Day 846:
From a generous gift from Curran Fouts aka @pdxTravels, this collaborative creation of Pospiech Inc, and and Room101 is this mystery blend in the Room101 Who Shot Ya… my First Tme.

Aside from the “Sophomoric” marketing” of this Room101 Who Shot Ya, I enjoyed it. The draw was perfect and the tobacco flavors were pretty unique to me mainly of smooth and tasty black pepper. The retrohale echoed those flavors with a slightly spicier version of the black pepper… so far so good.

I’m guessing this will be a fast burner since I’ve had it dry boxing for a couple of days.

At the halfway point I had to correct a wonky burn as one of half or side or the wrapper was having a hard time keeping up with the other… the tobacco flavors are remaining pretty consistent… delightful deep rich tobacco flavors are heavy on the black pepper. The retrohale is mellowing out and not as spicy this time around.

At the last third, the heat is starting to affect the black pepper flavors toward the bitter end of things… this was a pleasant smoking experience overall. The only this is, there was another flavor in there that I couldn’t put my finger on.

I doubt I’d seek this one out again because of the cost, but if offered, I’d smoke it again.
