For cigar makers, new projects can take a VERY long time to bring to life. After dreaming up a blend or brand idea, it can take months or even years to land a new project in the wild among cigar loving folk. Right now, I’m just getting my hands on the very first of the Espinosa Muercielago Echo-Hale Daily Edition. This is a project I worked on with Eric Espinosa. The vision was to craft a new version of his powerfully bold Murcielago blend… but what I got in the end was A LOT more than I barg...

I’m not sure if Matt Booth has survived 15 years in the cigar industry or if the cigar industry has survived 15 years of Matt Booth. But we’re here now and we have to live with it. Matt Booth is an anomaly in the cigar world because he happened into the industry when ’boutique’ cigar makers were a very new thing. It was him and just a few other small blenders going up against a handful of mammoth titans of Cuban heritage. Now it’s been 15 years, and Room101 has stayed strong. Tonight, we’ll b...
