April 11, 2012 — As a follow-up to the highly rated OSOK limited edition, Room101 & Camacho are proud to announce the newest member of the 101 core line, Room101 San Andres. This latest installment is wrapped in a natural San Andres wrapper, which is grown by the Turrent family in Mexico. Medium in strength, this new blend is a departure from the taste profile normally associated with the existing Room101 lines. Moving away from the use of Dominican fillers, we focused on using some of the best raw material that the El Corojo farms had to offer. Ultimately, our choices narrowed and we decided on using Corojo and Criollo for the guts of the blend. The end result was more than we bargained for and as a result, an incredibly complex and diverse new addition was born.

Available in (5) formats, including the popular “Papi Chulo” (42 x 4), the Room101 San Andres is now shipping nationwide.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for MLB.com, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
