The original Room 101 Big Payback cigar was a high-quality premium at an affordable price point to thank, or “payback” fans of the brand. That OG Big Payback stick was a Nicaraguan puro. Room 101 Big Payback Maduro cigars, which are the return of the Big Payback line, take a different approach on a number of levels. Let’s take a closer look.
The first Big Payback cigars were produced at Davidoff’s Honduran Camacho factory. The Room 101 Big Payback Maduro cigars are manufactured at General Cigar’s Honduras American Tobacco S.A. Powering the Room 101 Big Payback Maduro cigar is a core blend of Dominican, Honduran, and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. These work with a Connecticut shade binder and Connecticut broadleaf Maduro wrapper to provide a medium-full strength smoking experience.
Holy smokes, we’ve got a double Connecticut cigar on our hands and in two varieties. The wrapper is broadleaf which goes through a fermentation process to become a Maduro leaf. It’s dark with earthy characteristics and highly complex. The binder is shade-grown. The shade-grown Connecticut is more mellow and smooth and utilized in the milder side of cigars available today.
The outcome is milk chocolate, natural tobacco, leather, and black pepper flavors. Once upon a time, this fan-favorite disappeared from shelves. Now that it’s returned, make sure to get your big payback, because you never know how long they’ll last.
