Room 101 Doomsayer Maduro

When you want a bold, full-flavored smoke without stretching your budget past the breaking point, the Room 101 Doomsayer Maduro has you covered. Matt Booth launched this line at the 2019 IPCPR show as a step up from The Big Payback, rolling it at Tabacalera William Ventura in the Dominican Republic with an Indonesian binder and a filler of Nicaraguan, Honduran, and Pennsylvania Broadleaf leaf under a dark maduro wrapper.

The flavor profile leans into wood and cedar upfront, with cocoa and dried fruit riding steadily underneath. A layer of black and red pepper keeps things interesting from the first third all the way to the finish. At around $7.50 a stick, it's an easy one to keep stocked in your rotation.
