If Matt Booth was back last year, he’s really back this year, starting with his own booth—last year he was in the Caldwell booth—and not just a recently released full line, but that line’s first extension.

It took me two days of dropping by Booth’s booth to get to talk to him, but I finally did and got the rundown of new stuff coming down the line.

Room101 Farce Connecticut

In mid-May, Matt Booth fully released Farce, his first solo line since departing Davidoff. Now, he’s releasing the Farce Connecticut—or FarceCT if you prefer—the first of what could likely be two line extensions.

I have been smoking cigars since 2005 and reviewing them as a hobby since 2010. Initially, I started out small with a 50-count humidor and only smoking one or two cigars a month. Not knowing anybody else that smoked cigars, it was only an occasional hobby that I took part in. In March of 2010, I joined Nublive and Cigar Asylum, connecting me with many people who also shared an interest in cigars. Reading what they had to say about brands I had never heard of, I quickly immersed myself in the boutique brands of the industry and it was then that cigars transformed from a hobby into a passion.
