The second of Room101’s retailer exclusive Ichiban Series will land at Cigar Realm in Ashland, Va. next month.

The Room101 Ichiban Roxxo, a 4 x 48 petit robusto, will be released on April 1, with Room101’s Matt Booth on hand for the event. Pricing is set at $7.35 per cigar or $69.96 per box of 10 cigars.

“This will be my second visit to Cigar Realm in the last six months and based on what I saw, I don’t expect them to have the Room101 Ichiban Roxxo for long,” said Booth, in a press release. “Scott and team have been great partners of our brand for some time, it is an honor to be working with them on this project.”

It uses the same blend as the Ichiban Tiburon—an Ecuadorian habano wrapper, Nicaraguan criollo 98 binder and Nicaraguan corojo 99 fillers.

Ichiban was launched earlier this year. Eight retailers will be selected to receive a single size of the blend with each retailer receiving 1,000 boxes of each cigar. Smokin’ Joe’s was the first retailer selected.

Room101 is produced at Oettinger Davidoff AG’s Agroindustria LAEPE S.A. factory in Danlí, Honduras and distributed by Davidoff of Geneva USA.
