Room 101 LTD Conjura

This week's review is of the Room 101 LTD Conjura, which was released at the 2011 trade show. This is the first release in the Limitado series from Room 101. These are made in the Camacho factory in Honduras and are composed of a Rosado wrapper, Honduran binder and a filler made up of Nicaraguan and Honduran tobacco. To be honest I really wasn't a fan of the original Room 101 blend but am putting my opions of that blend aside and giving this line a fair chance. I am smoking the 4 3/4x50 size for this review. 

The Room 101 Conjura has a slightly rounded box press to it and a medium shade flat brown wrapper. The overall construction looks solid. The prelight shows a perfect draw with flavors of strait aged tobacco and cedar. It reminds me of the aging rooms in the factories in Nicaragua. Once lit this cigar starts off smooth and creamy with plenty of cedar and some vanilla bean. There is an earthy character on the finish and a little bit of dryness as well. I poured myself a glass of Zaya rum to go with this cigar after getting a little further into it to see if it would draw out the vanilla flavor a bit more, which it has. I don't frequently pair a beverage with a cigar I am reviewing but this one just seemed to need a good drink with it. The ash held on until just under the secondary band, this is definitely a well made cigar. 

At the halfway point the flavor profile is pretty much identical to the first third. The room aroma is very cedary, but not a sweet cedar, more savory if that makes sense (same in the flavor profile). As I get to the end of this cigar not much has changed except maybe just a tiny bit of leather in the profile. 

The Room 101 LTD Conjura was a pleasant cigar. It didn't have a very complex flavor profile, a few key flavors like the cedar, earth and vanilla so if those sound interesting to you then I think you would enjoy this cigar. I don't need every cigar I smoke to change flavors every 5 minutes but I was kind of hoping this one would change up a bit as I smoked it. At $7-8 would I buy another one? Probably not. Not because it was bad or anything, there are just other cigars that fit my palate a bit more than this one.
