Description
The Room101 17th Anniversary is a full-bodied toro measuring 6 x 52, the latest cigar in Room101's annual Anniversary series. It is a Nicaraguan puro, with a Nicaraguan wrapper, binder and filler, and it was made for Room101 by A.J. Fernandez at his factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, using tobacco he grew himself.
Wrapper and Blend
Every leaf in the 17th Anniversary is Nicaraguan. Room101 founder Matt Booth worked with A.J. Fernandez on the blend, and Fernandez supplied all of the tobacco from his own farms. Room101 has not published the specific regions or primings, only that the cigar is an all-Nicaraguan blend. It is a fuller cigar than the medium-bodied 15th Anniversary that came before it.
Format and Size
The 17th Anniversary comes in one size, a 6 x 52 toro. A 52 ring gauge is about 0.81 inches across, a classic toro proportion that gives a full draw without the bulk of a 60-ring gordo.
Strength and Flavor Profile
TRP lists the Room101 17th Anniversary as full in strength. Its flavor notes are black pepper, baking spice, dark chocolate, roasted espresso, earth and cocoa. Early reviews describe a peppery, spicy start that settles into dark chocolate and roasted espresso over an earthy base, strong but kept in balance.
Line History and Production
Matt Booth founded Room101 in 2009, and Scandinavian Tobacco Group acquired the brand in 2022, with Booth staying on as creative director. The Anniversary series began with the 10th Anniversary in 2019, and each year's cigar gets its own blend rather than repeating an earlier one; Booth calls each release a snapshot of where the brand is at that moment. There was no 16th Anniversary, so the 17th follows the 15th, which reached stores in February 2025. Production is limited to 2,500 boxes of 20, and the cigar began shipping to retailers in August 2026.
