Room 101 Farce Esteli & RED by Petrus
Room 101's door gets kicked in with hellacious Cigar Page pricing on Room 101 Farce. Farce is the 92-rated, Top 25 Cigar of the Year (2019), and the Farce Esteli blend is all that and a bag o' chips. A medium to full-bodied beefcake, these Nicaraguan gems bring the flavor thunder. Have a gander: these beauties are a lovely medium brown in color, very smooth with a nice sheen. Fire it up and it's crisp and assertive out of the gate but settles down into a clear medium-bodied smoke. Smoke coats the tongue. The ash is gorgeous like fresh packed powder on first run of the day. Farce Esteli brings notes of leather, toast, and earth, with ample spice and a bready component, it's got a creamy complex finish which will have you jonesin' for more.

Megilla & The Truth by Flying Dog Brewery | Cigar Pairing
Megilla is a full-flavored, full-bodied, boutique Nicaraguan gem. If you're a fan of uber-boutique, lower-production craft sticks, this blend is your new favorite. It brings an absolutely gorgeous, oily Habano wrapper that's practically oozing with oils. Dark brown with a dark reddish hue, it's utterly redolent. This wrapper is paired with a Nicaraguan binder and choice blend of Nicaraguan Ligero long-fillers. Loaded with spice plus notes of toast, sweetness, and a BBQ-like aroma. Mouthfeel is textured and gritty (in a good way), and the flavors and complexity builds as it burns. Savory and leathery, it's the perfect balance of spice and sweetness.

Rocky Tree House Double Feature | Part 1
Rocky Patel Sun Grown:
There's nothing better than a well-aged cigar. Age creates character. It creates balance. And few can argue they prefer raw tobacco over a well-aged, complex smoke. Rocky Patel understands this concept, which is what makes his Sun Grown blend so delicious. 7-year-aged Brazilian, Dominican, and Nicaraguan tobaccos create ample complexity while remaining smooth. A 5-year-aged Ecuadorian Sun Grown wrapper adds boldness and a peculiar spice which delivers a flavor that enraptures your entire palate. Earthy, full-flavored, and full-bodied with a hint of sweetness to round out the entire experience, Rocky Patel Sun Grown was created for the experienced enthusiast, but can be appreciated by all.
Super Treat Tree House Brewing Company:
Super Treat is a riff on Treat utilizing even larger kettle and dry hop additions applied to a richer, denser base beer than Treat. It is intended to coax sweet hop candy flavors from a blend of citrus forward American hops paired with our house yeast. Saturated flavors of orange starburst, sweet tangerine, lychee, and unfiltered fresh squeezed orange juice play nicely with a gently carbonated body lending to a beer that is intensely enjoyable and eminently drinkable. Our house yeast provides juicy fruit gum and melon overtones throughout. It’s a Super Treat, indeed!

Free Will by Oliva & Southern Comfort | Cigar Pairing
Free Will comes to you from the experienced hands of arguably the finest factory in Nicaragua - Oliva Cigars, makers of the 95- and 96-rated Serie V and V Melanio. This passion project is a special undertaking. Free Will is rolled with a special Nicaraguan-grown, 'Center Cut' Condega leaf that's harvested at the end of the season. Bear with me for a second because the following detail will help illustrate how unique this limited production cigar is.
Tobacco growers look at plants in terms of cuts - each plant has from 7 to 9 primings, with 2 or 3 leaves per priming, aka cuts. 60 days after planting, picking begins from the bottom up. The bottom third is picked after 60-70 days, middle third 70-90, and top third 80-90. Once picked they enter curing barns. Once cured, they move to fermentation. The first fermentation leads to sortation by Seco, Viso, and Ligero classifications, and it is the texture that drives this classification. Next, all leaves are organized by texture and separated where they continue fermentation together with like textures in order to continue processing at the same rate. Heavier Ligero leaves will take longer vs. thinner Seco and as a rule of thumb, Ligeros have more strength and character largely driven by sun exposure. In general, nicotine = strength and sugar = flavor. Sugar concentrations are always highest in the middle of the plant (centro fino) regardless of the time of year or other factors (driven by root). Nicotine on the other hand is always highest at the top of the plant, although it varies throughout the growing season based on external factors (namely, sun exposure). Free Will cigars capture both the highest sugar and nicotine concentrations by isolating not just those particular leaves, but the particular part of those leaves.
The growing season is December to May – with planting done at various times over the 6 month period. From start to finish there is a 30% variance in the amount of sun light. Hence the 'late harvest' in May enjoys significantly more sun hours as the season progressed. The centro fino yields the thickest texture of the season based on the extra sun exposure, which in turn produces leaves containing max sugar and nicotine to produce a cigar rich in flavor, depth, body, and overall strength.
To give you an idea of how limited it is, this cut represents just 0.8% of Oliva's total filler harvest annually, meaning a max production of just 125,000 cigars per year. The end result is a higher level of nuanced intensity which doesn’t overpower the palate. Complex, deep, rich flavors, including notes of dark chocolate, peanut, earth, and creamy nougat. The finish is intense but smooth, with a decadent maple syrup character. Full in body, full in flavor, utterly unique. Oliva delivers a one-of-a-kind gem that I am confident you will enjoy.
