Room101 Releases Details 11th Anniversary; Announces The Big Payback Connecticut Returning
After teasing it this summer, Room101 has released details of its 11th Anniversary cigar, as well as announced that it is bringing back the Big Payback Connecticut.
The Room101 11th Anniversary is a Nicaraguan puro with a maduro wrapper and comes in a 6 x 54 torpedo vitola. Pricing is set at $10 per cigar, before taxes, with 1,000 boxes of 20 cigars being produced by an undisclosed factory.
Room101 is also bringing back The Big Payback Connecticut while updating the blend and switching factories. It now uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and filler and is produced by Fabrica de Tabacos Joya de Nicaragua S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua. The previous blend used an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over a Mexican binder and Dominican filler, and was produced by the Camacho factory in Honduras.
It will be offered in three sizes, a 5 1/4 x 50 robusto, 6 x 54 toro, and 6 x 60 gordo, with pricing between $6.50 and $7.50, before taxes. All sizes will be offered in bundles of 20 and boxes of 40 cigars.
Both of the lines will be released in mid-December.
Room101 made the announcement via Cigar Aficionado. Matt Booth has thus far not responded to requests to confirm the accuracy of that report.

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 Major League Baseball, 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.
