By way of a description, Room 101 has this to say about Doomsayer cigars:
“The end of days is upon us. Nothing is barreling down on life as we know it, and we stand in its path powerless… In light of certain and final DOOM, I do not offer any solutions nor salvation. I offer you escapism in the form of a value premium cigar.”
Gee, thanks, Matt! We’ll gladly sail off into oblivion for an hour or so. Can we have a drink, too?
In recent years, many have prophesized the end of the world. And the world as we knew it has ended in many ways. Fortunately, we’re not in the business of having to solve the many problems plaguing our land. (Even the people IN that business are barely getting things done…)
No, like Matt Booth, founder of Room 101, we’re in the business of helping people deal with life. Room 101 Doomsayer cigars are yet another part of our strategy to help you escape life's problems and drift along in smoky bliss.
Can we say this is one of the prettier cigars on the market? It’s offered in two versions: Passive and Aggressive. The Passive version sports an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, while the Aggressive blend takes a Maduro leaf as its outer layer. That Habano leaf is the most beautiful shiny copper color – irresistible once you clap your eyes on it.
But if you prefer mystery, the Maduro wrapper is of unknown origin. Booth is always playing games, that rascal.
The long-filler blend of the Room 101 Doomsayer cigars has a lot going on. There’s Honduran, Nicaraguan, and Pennsylvania tobacco in the mix. This is all held together by an Indonesian binder. Sound like a kitchen sink cigar? Well, what else would you expect at the end of the day? The total chaos of life is reflected in a stogie-pulling leaf from every corner of the globe. Fortunately, the blending team knew what they were doing, and each tobacco worked pretty well with the other.
The complex profile shows a note of dried fruit in both versions of the Room 101 Doomsayer cigar. The Aggressive Maduro winds up going more in the direction of cocoa and cedar, however. In contrast, the Passive Habano offers up black pepper and sweet oak. We’re not going to choose a favorite. Both are pretty nice and surprisingly good for the price point. But smokers can likely find their preferred stick in the name if you need a hint.
Does the Apocalypse make you feel like donning a Viking helmet and fighting? Grab the Aggressive.
Or does it make you feel like opening a vein and laying back with some tunes? Go for the Passive.
It’s the end of the world as we know it, and we feel fiiiiiiiine…
