{"product_id":"room-101-johnny-tobacconaut-maduro-gordo-6-0-x-60","title":"Room 101 Johnny Tobacconaut Maduro Gordo (6.0\" x 60)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Room101 Johnny Tobacconaut Maduro Gordo is a full-bodied 6 x 60 from Room101's Johnny Tobacconaut line, the darker version of a blend the brand first launched in 2015. It is a Nicaraguan puro dressed in a dark maduro wrapper, and it is rolled for Room101 at the Tabacalera AJ Fernandez factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWrapper and Blend\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoom101 describes the Johnny Tobacconaut Maduro as a Nicaraguan puro: a maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan filler, all of it supplied by AJ Fernandez. Where the earlier Tobacconaut releases wore a light Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, this one goes the other way, with a dark, oily leaf that gives the cigar its deeper espresso-and-cocoa character. Room101 has not published the specific farms or primings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFormat and Size\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gordo is the largest of the three Johnny Tobacconaut Maduro sizes, at 6 inches by a 60 ring gauge, just under an inch across. The wide ring keeps the burn cool and slow, so expect well over an hour of smoking time. The line is also made as a 5 x 50 Robusto and a 6 x 52 Toro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStrength and Flavor Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe list the Johnny Tobacconaut Maduro Gordo as full in strength, and Room101 calls it fuller-bodied than any earlier Tobacconaut. Its flavor notes are earth, espresso and dark cocoa. The maduro wrapper carries most of the espresso and cocoa, with the earthy Nicaraguan filler underneath, and the big ring gauge spreads it out over a long, even smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLine History and Production\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohnny Tobacconaut, the spacesuited astronaut on the band and the bright yellow box, first appeared in 2015 as a limited Unobtanium release from Room101 and picked up a following among collectors. The line came back in 2023 with a Connecticut-shade wrapper, and in April 2026 Room101 founder Matt Booth announced the Maduro, calling it the most appropriate evolutionary step for the series. Shipping to retailers began in June 2026. The cigars come in 20-count boxes and are made by AJ Fernandez, who also produces Room101's Anniversary series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho It Suits and How to Enjoy It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a cigar for maduro fans who want a long, full-strength smoke, and for anyone who liked the original Tobacconaut and wants to see where the blend went. Coffee pairings: Espresso, Dark roast, Mocha, Cold brew, Café Cubano. Spirit pairings: Bourbon, Dark rum, Tawny Port, Cognac, Rye whiskey. Rest it in a humidor at 65 to 70 percent humidity; the thick maduro wrapper takes well to a few months of age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory: Tabacalera AJ Fernandez, Estelí, Nicaragua\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging: boxes of 20; sold here as singles, 5-packs and full boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease: regular production, shipped June 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoom101 Johnny Tobacconaut Maduro FAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the Maduro different from the original Johnny Tobacconaut?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe earlier Tobacconaut used an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper with Nicaraguan filler.
