Room 101 is releasing its second line of the year, Daruma Gold, a follow-up to 2013's limited-production parejo line. The previous Daruma, which had an Ecuadoran wrapper, received a wide range of scores in its vertical tasting, from 90 points down to 86. Daruma Gold sports the same binder and filler leaves as its predecessor, but the wrapper has been changed to a Mexican San Andrés leaf.

·"I really enjoyed this little guy! From it's appearance, construction and flavors during smoking, it was very enjoyable. Would I care to have another- heck ya! I just wish it was bigger!" -Robert (NavyPiper)
The long discontinued Epoca brand has been resurrected by Nat Sherman and is scheduled for a late spring release with a new blend and new identity. The original Epoca was a clear Havana cigar, meaning it was produced in the United States before the embargo and used imported Cuban leaf.
"I really enjoyed this cigar. Leather seemed to be the underlying flavor yet never overpowering. The progression through the thirds was balanced with each of the flavors coming to the front for a moment. In the end, I was left with a smoke that kept my interest and allowed the flavors it offered to mesh perfectly." -Gregg (McGreggor57)

·"I enjoyed just about everything about his cigar. The construction, burn, flavors and appearance were all excellent. I would buy a five pack and, if I get the same experience, pick up a box. A great medium/full smoke that I'd recommend to others." -Brian (B-daddy)
“This was a very good experience. I would have liked a little more complexity and less harshness at the end, but I think with some age these will be great. There were some good, solid espresso and coffee flavors with a good kick of spice, so if those flavors sound like something you would enjoy, I would definitely recommend this cigar. If the price is right, I would pick up a box.” -Emmett (rhetorik)

·“This cigar was so good, I would pick up a box of these in a heartbeat, two if it’s a limited edition. I’m guessing from the look and feel and the spice flavor profile that this is a Sumatra wrapper, my favorite. I’m not sure I’ve ever scored a cigar this high blind so I’m excited to see how the other reviewers see it. If everyone else had the same experience, this could be the highest scoring cigar ever, and it would deserve it. Kudos to whoever made this.” -Emmett (rhetorik)

·"This stick is worth considering a box purchase on. Overall, it provided an excellent smoking experience. Great flavors, nice complexity and well constructed. If you're looking for something full flavored and full bodied, this is a great option." -Dave (mdwest)
