Room101 Namakubi Chingon Ltd. 2024

Kaplowitz · Nov 3, 2025

Mocha Latte (extra shot) | Ginger Snaps | Seasoned Oak Roasts and toasts; gaining depth and complexities throughout. An evolving transition, neither herky nor jerky. Molasses. Pink, green, and black peppercorns. A bit of a mash bill, heavy on rye. Barnyard and saddles. A stout, bracing thing but not bullying. Pumpernickel. Dried leaves (duh) and topsoil olfactory. Goodly smoke out-put. Slow, well-paced burn works on a tick of a wobble. Hair's breadth mascara line. A slightly hesitant draw opens

Room101 Namakubi Ecuador H-Town Lancero

Halfwheel · Dec 19, 2013

I recall trying one or two of the Room101 Namakubi Ecuador's regular production vitolas prior to trying the H-Town Lancero, and while those cigars were good, they certainly seem to pale in comparison to what the lancero vitola offers. The flavor profile is tight, deep and complex with numerous changes through addition and subtraction, as well as frequent transitions and variances in the amount of pepper to be found. The call for more lanceros and other small ring gauges has been frequent from this site , and we have often been told that smaller ring gauges don't always equal better flavors, however in this case that is exactly what it does. The construction is perfect and helps deliver a consistent mouthful of flavors, all while maintaining perfect construction and smoke production. My only knock on this cigar is that it is a limited production: if you like full bodied cigars with a good amount of pepper and strength as I do, you'll want to pick some of these up, which means there will be fewer left for me.

Room 101 Namakubi Ecuador Chingon Figurado

Cigar Aficionado · Aug 1, 2013

A gorgeously rolled, double-tapered diadema that loads the palate with cocoa and nuts. It becomes more toasty and herbal as it burns, building to a cedary finish.

Room101 Namakubi Ranfla 2021

Blind Man's Puff · May 17, 2023 · November 2021

The original Namakubi line was a regular production cigar rolled at the Camacho factory for Room101 that debuted in 2011. The original blend used an Ecuadorian habano wrapper with Dominican and Honduran binder and fillers. Following that original release, there was the Room101 Namakubi Ecuador which came out in 2013. Production of both lines ceased in 2017 when Room101 brand owner Matt Booth announced that he was leaving the cigar industry. That, of course didn’t last long and he made his return in later that year and has been making new cigars ever since. Which brings us to 2021 with the return of the Namakubi in the form of a limited edition: Room101 Namakubi Ranfla 2021. This cigar was reviewed blind (no bands) by a panel of at least 4 reviewers. They did not know what they were smoking beforehand. The scores are an average of all the reviewers' scores with outliers removed. All of our cigars reviewed are shipped to the panelists with Boveda packs to ensure optimal smoking experience. The blend sounds similar to the original on paper using an Ecuadorian wrapper, Honduran binder, fillers from the Dominican Republic and Honduras. However, given the difference of 10 years and production moving to a different factory, I think it’s fair to say this is a brand new cigar. Also changed are the look and feel of the cigar with packaging and bands and size. The new cigar comes in just one size, a a 5 1/2 x 50 perfecto. This new version is also a limited edition with only 101 boxes of 10 being made with cigars in coffins, and another 1001 boxes of 10 made without coffins. Each cigar has an MSRP of $25 ($30 for coffins.) The color scheme has also been changed from the red and black colors previously to purple and silver, a move that was done to bring attention to Alzheimer’s. Also unique to this project, a portion of the proceeds from the sales of the Namakubi is being donated to Keep Memory Alive, a charity based out of the Cleveland Clinic Nevada dedicated to Alzheimer’s research and care.

Room101 Namakubi Chingon

CigarCzars · Dec 20, 2025

Room101 Namakubi Chingon limited-edition cigars are made in the Dominican Republic with a San Andres Maduro wrapper, Sumatra binder, and a blend of filler tobaccos from Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, and Pennsylvania (Broadleaf). These revamped versions of the brand were relaunched during October 2025 in one 5.5 x 60 perfecto vitola priced at $24.99 per cigar. The cigars are sold in 10-count boxes and each cigar is individually encased in blue and white decorative papers. For more information about these cigars, please see thepress release. The sample Room101 Namakubi Chingon perfecto cigar began with a modest peppery flavor. In just a couple of minutes or so, a dry woodsy flavor emerged that gradually became predominate during the next 15 minutes. I ashed the cigar for the first time at the 20-minute mark. At 30 minutes into the smoking session, the flavors were becoming more balanced and smoother. The body was medium-full, and remained that way for the duration of the smoke. I ashed the cigar for the second time at the 45 minute mark, and then smoked it for another half-hour resulting in a total smoking time of 75 minutes down to 1½ inches remaining. During that time, the cigar had a great draw, even burn, and held a long ash. No relights nor touch-ups were needed, and it was really a pleasure to smoke a cigar without experiencing any construction issues whatsoever. To say that this perfecto was perfectly constructed would be an understatement. The sample cigar's flavor was fuller during the first half of the cigar, when the initial peppery taste gradually faded into the background before a mostly dry wood flavor became predominate. However, the tastes then became less intense but smoother and more balanced when smoking the second half of the cigar. Overall, I enjoyed the sample Room101 Namakubi Chingon perfecto from start to finish and rate it with a superior 4.25 points on a 5-point scale. Although the cigar's decorative blue and white wrapping paper does not affect its smoking enjoyment, it does make it a good candidate to give as a gift.

Removing the tissue paper, I find a cigar. Nice bands.Earth, wood, and the slightest hint of maple syrup bring forth the Namakubi’s first strike to my palate. That soun

Room101 Namakubi Ranfla

Developing Palates · Apr 25, 2022 · November 2021

I really enjoyed the Room101 Namakubi Ranfla. I thought Booth did a great job of capturing what the Namakubi was, while at the same time delivering the quality that you get with the new Room101 blends out of Tabacalera William Ventura. It smoked like any good Room101 blend has for 11 years. Packaging is just amazing as well.
