Room101 has launched a limited edition release known as Red Rocket. It’s a project that was done in conjunction with Wilbraham, Massachusetts retailer Sir Louis Cigars.
The blend was developed at Tabacalera William Ventura in Tamboril, Dominican Republic. It features a Mexican San Andres wrapper, an Indonesian binder, and tobaccos from the USA, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic in its filler. Presented in ten-count boxes, the Red Rocket comes in one size—a 6 x 52 Toro. Pricing is $13.99 SRP/cigar. Production numbers for the Red Rocket have not been disclosed.
In a press release, Matt Booth commented, “Hunter and Matt at Sir Louis Cigars embody the very essence of brand partner that we work best with. They have always afforded our brand the highest levels of attention and I felt they would be a great place to delve further into partnership by taking things to the collaborative/co-branded stage of the relationship.”
Sir Louis Cigars Proprietor Hunter Marosits added, “This collaboration represents a convergence of weirdness…our unique approach to retail and the premium cigar lifestyle fits perfectly into the Room101 ethos. We are the freaks of the industry. This blend and packaging showcase our mission of total inclusion for all cigar enthusiasts worldwide.”
While it’s a retail collaboration, the Red Rocket is being distributed nationwide through Forged Cigar company.
