General Cigar Co. has announced two new releases from Room101 Cigars: Big Payback Extra Fuerte 70s and Johnny Tobacconaut Maduro. The releases expand two existing lines within the Room101 portfolio and are scheduled to ship in 2026.
Big Payback Extra Fuerte 70s
Room101 is adding a new format to The Big Payback line with the introduction of Extra Fuerte 70s, a full-bodied cigar in a larger ring gauge format. The cigar is handcrafted in Honduras and features an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, a Nicaraguan Estelí binder, and a blend of Honduran, Nicaraguan, and Dominican fillers.
Big Payback Extra Fuerte 70s will be offered in a single 7 x 70 format, packaged in 20-count boxes. The cigar carries a suggested retail price of $9.79 per cigar. The company stated that the release is scheduled to begin shipping to retailers in April 2026.
Johnny Tobacconaut Maduro
Room101 is also reintroducing the Johnny Tobacconaut line with the release of Johnny Tobacconaut Maduro.
Originally introduced as a limited release in 2015, the line returns as a full-bodied Nicaraguan puro developed in collaboration with AJ Fernandez. The cigar features a maduro wrapper and is described by the company as a darker expression of the original concept.
Johnny Tobacconaut Maduro will be available in three vitolas: Robusto (5 x 50), Toro (6 x 52), and Gordo (6 x 60). The cigars are packaged in 20-count boxes, with suggested retail pricing ranging from $10.29 to $12.49 per cigar before applicable taxes.
The company stated that the release is scheduled to ship to retailers in June 2026.
