Room 101 Master Collection help?

MUNKY · 11-19-2013, 09:40 PM

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.

big_jaygee · 11-19-2013, 09:50 PM

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.
