Room 101 Farce Robusto: hay scents are perceptible before lighting it up. The opening brings to the palate roasted aromas.
The first section delivers notes of cellulose, together with the roasted notes of the opening and a touch of vegetal. Strength is medium (3/5).
The cigar take off in the middle section, with rich aromas of cedar wood and coffee beans. In the background, the vegetal notes are confirmed, together with some spices, among those the black pepper stands out. Strength increases a little bit (3.5/5).
In the last section there is not much else going on. Flavors are confirmed and the strength doesn’t change till the end of the smoke (3.5/5).
Overall, the Room 101 Farce Robusto is a cigar capable of delivering a nice and balanced smoke. It take quite a bit of time to really show its complete aromatic palette and the first third doesn’t perform good as the other two.
