Room 101 Master Collection help?
 

So yah I grab new candy when I see it. I grabbed this one and when I lit it up the end went up like a sparkler. I mean quick for about an inch, lots of popping sound like pop rocks and crackling. Well besides being pissed I decided to investigate. I need help, when I opened up there was more wood in this thing than in my fireplace! I mean hard as hell wood. Is this normal or crappy quality control? I know I'm still many moons away from experience as you all but I thought I would ask. Just pissed with the fresh paint taste as well. Am I off base or reason to be upset?

I have smoked a few BOXES of room 101 cigars and never a problem. Sucks that it happened.

i like Ogre have gone through more than a few of different Room 101 blends and i have only had one problem (Room 101 Daruma Papi Chulo failure to stay lit and an off taste). sorry to hear you had a bad experience with that one.

Oh man that looks nasty. I haven't heard too much negative stuff about room 101 smokes. Probably just a bum stick/box

Check out the video linked. Bryan from Cigarobsession has an issue similar to yours with an El Rey Del Mundo Oscuro.

Yuck

That sucks. I have high hopes for that stick. That being said I've never had a bad 101.

I had my first Masters Collection today and thought it was good. I didnt have any issues and it actually had almost flawless construction.

After seeing this post was contacted by Dylan Austin of Davidoff, he expressed his displeasure and sent me this package

Room 101 ashtray
5 replacement sticks
Personal note!
