Room 101 Doomsayer Aggressive

I grabbed a 5 pack of the Room 101 Doomsayer Aggressive about a month ago and I felt today was as good of day as ever to light one up. The Doomsayer comes in two variants; "aggressive" features a proprietary Maduro wrapper while "passive" features an Ecuadorian Habano leaf.  Both versions are filled with tabacco from a massive list of locations (at least for cigars) and hit all the typical tabacco growing locations except for Cuba and The Dominican Republic. Regardless of the version procured, the only size that was produced is a 6 x 55 Toro vitola. The "aggressive" may not be the easiest stick to find but I am fairly certain you can get them for around $10 USD per smoke.

The Smoke: This was smoke #1 of 3 on the first day of my annual week vacation I take during the United States Thanksgiving holiday. This one was enjoyed late morning after I completed a bunch of task to help my wife with the, also annual, Thanksgiving pre-preperations. 

The Room 101 Doomsayer Aggressive has a beautiful brown Maduro leaf that is very oily. This cigar looks smooth out of the sun but when it is in the light there is some toothiness that the wrapper displays. This one feels solid in my hand and also feels well constructed.

The cold draw provides some light sweetness and faint wood. Lighting the cigar just makes the sweetness more pronounced. There feels like some very faint chocolate and caramel. The body of the cigar is light early in the smoke. As the smoke progresses the body and profile grow but it never reaches being full bodied. The smoke gets slightly more complex as it ages with the additions of light black pepper.

The construction and burn rate are impeccable. Neither wane during the almost two hour smoke session. The smoke is light and never becomes harsh in any way. The draw remains good through out the entire session as well. 

I found this cigar beyond enjoyable and perfect for a morning smoke. Some may find it a bit too mild for their liking but I think that is this one's greatest feature. It provides a great smoking experience with plenty of flavor while never becoming harsh or unenjoyable. I just wish I had toothpicks in the house so I could nub this one.

The Score: Buy a 10 pack
