Room101 has announced that it will once again offer The Big Payback line in a 7 x 70 size.

There has not been a 7 x 70 version of The Big Payback in production since 2016. It will return to shelves next month with an all-new blend that is unique to this vitola, meaning it’s different from other versions of The Big Payback. This blend uses a Honduran Olancho San Agustin wrapper over a Connecticut broadleaf binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic, Honduras and Nicaragua. It is made at STG Danlí in Honduras.

Each cigar is priced at $8.99 and The Big Payback 70s is offered in boxes of 30 cigars.

“It has been my life’s mission to produce a combustible vessel so engorged and far more magnificent than its standard counterpart in cylindrical presentation, and it’s my greatest honor to offer our people such a product that overflows with both girth and grandeur,” said Matt Booth, founder of Room101, in a press release.

Room101 is distributed by Scandinavian Tobacco Group’s Forged Cigar Co. The Big Payback 70s is expected to begin shipping on June 1.

The Big Payback debuted in 2014. At that time, the cigar was made at Diadema Cigars de Honduras S.A., i.e. the Camacho factory in Honduras, and distributed by Davidoff of Geneva USA. The original version was offered in three sizes and made entirely of Nicaraguan tobacco. Subsequent releases of The Big Payback include a Connecticut, Sumatra and a reworked Maduro version.
