Corona Chair-Holder's review: Daruma Edition from Room 101 LTD


 




Size:          4x42 Papi Chulo
Blend:        Honduran & Ecuadorian Habano
Notes:       Cedar with hint of Chocolate and earthiness

This new Room 101 entry blended by Camacho Cigars which is one of three lines of their Far East Warrior theme: Namakubi, Hollywood, and of course the Daruma.   

If size matters, than this short medium to full body cigar demonstrates that good things come in small packages, because it’s chalked with consistent, cedar and chocolate notes with some earthy tone.  The Daruma Papi produces a solid white ash and can hold its weight in long burn for an hour sitting.

The price ($6.00 at the Corona Smoke Shop) is worth its weight in gold.  In general, many cigar enthusiasts may scoff or underestimate the little shorties anticipating a quick smoke or simply may feel they’ll disintegrate the papi chulo in one draw.  

If you want a consistent and flavorful smoke as a prologue to your evening, then this is worth trying. On a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being exceptional), I give it a 4.5.
