Room101 Big Payback 70’s (7×70)

Matt Booth has never been shy about his feelings on ring gauge. When he brought the Big Payback 70s back after a long absence, he called it his life’s mission — “to produce a combustible vessel so engorged and far more magnificent than its standard counterpart in cylindrical presentation.” That’s Matt Booth. And the cigar delivers on every word of it. The Big Payback 70s is a 7×70 built on a blend unique to this vitola — a Honduran Olancho San Agustín wrapper, a leaf from one of Central America’s most celebrated tobacco regions, draped over a Connecticut Broadleaf binder and a three-country filler of Dominican, Honduran, and Nicaraguan tobaccos, all rolled at STG Danlí in Honduras.

The result is a medium-bodied smoke that burns cool and slow for hours, delivering earth, dark fruit, baking spice, roasted coffee, toasted cedar, and soft pepper across a long, evolving profile that only a 70-ring gauge can fully deliver. This is the format for the smoker who doesn’t want the session to end. Clear your afternoon. You’re going to need it.
