I can understand that some of the people are not comfortable with the way some cigar companies are going. I too have seen the “kid rock” look vs the “Guayabera traditional” guys at the IPCPR. I have to say that I was against it but, it does get the younger smokers in the shops. After awhile they get more of a sense of smoke about them and they more on from the Acid cigars to Fuente and Padrons. As for Camacho they make Baccarat which is a sweet cap cigar. So its not too out the way that they would do this one. Camacho going worldwide with Davidoff will be more of a challenge than anything.
As for Room 101, I have smoked two of them and think that they are a pretty good cigar.

Being 54 years old and smoking cigars for over 25 years I have noticed a disturbing trend of some cigar mfgrs. getting ready to “pass the baton” to their offspring, that the emphasis is being misplaced on things other than what I look for in a fine quality cigar. The first thing out of the mouths of Camacho when describing the Room 101 is “lifestyle” etc. Cigars themselves are a lifestyle. I have smoked several of these good cigars and while they are good they are not worth $180 a box. Symbolism over substance is not the way to go.

I tried them in Sturgis at their vendor display. They are good cigars and Matt is a really cool guy. He gave away some merch alonside the sale of his cigars. Cool company!

It’s great being me! Oh and I was not upset that I didn’t get the cigars, I was just upset that Camacho did not follow through. Legend-arios are a bummer of a cigar.

I think I am most upset that Camacho never sent me my black label cigars.

To each his own, but it sounds to be you have a secret crush on Christian. If you don’t like the image of the brand, then don’t smoke the cigar. Seems pretty simple to me.

Checked out the website Anti Me. Ok, Gaudy silver and gold jewelry. What the hell does that have to do with cigars? I don’t know how Christian and this Room 101 guy met (maybe friends?) but it seems like an odd pairing. Camacho ads used to be about cigars, now it’s about the lifestyle. i.e. (Christian in his titanic moment on a yacht looking sexy.) This pairing just seems like a attempt to gain some of the younger market that a few companies have already taken. CAO, Drew Estate, NUB etc………

If you read any deeper on the Room101 brand you might understand that 101 is not for the hipster generation. You might want to take a look at http://www.room101silver.com and see what it’s all about before you drink your haterade in the morning.
