Room101 FARCE Connecticut
The original FARCE arrived as a five-country declaration — a bold, unconventional blend that earned 92 points and a Top 25 Cigar of the Year placement by refusing to follow anyone else’s formula. The FARCE Connecticut is Matt Booth’s proof that the FARCE sub-brand contains multitudes. Where the original FARCE reaches for complexity and power, the Connecticut reaches for elegance and restraint — two different creative philosophies operating under the same banner, demonstrating that Booth’s range extends as naturally to mellow refinement as it does to five-country construction ambition.
Crafted at Tabacalera William Ventura in the Dominican Republic — the same boutique factory that produces Breakfast in Portugal, whose owner’s individual care and rolling precision bring a quality to small-batch Dominican production that larger factories can’t match — the FARCE Connecticut pairs a golden-brown Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper with Dominican and Nicaraguan long-fillers in a mellow-to-medium-bodied profile that prioritizes smoothness, creaminess, and balance over intensity. The Connecticut wrapper’s natural creaminess frames the Dominican and Nicaraguan core in a profile of genuine elegance — creamy, smooth, minimal bite, and perfectly suited to morning coffee, midday relaxation, or an evening wind-down that asks nothing more from the smoker than a comfortable chair and a quiet moment. The FARCE name on the band is the reminder that convention is always optional — even when the convention being broken is the one that says a bold brand can’t also make something beautifully gentle.
Why You’ll Love It
The Gentle FARCE: The FARCE Connecticut proves that the FARCE sub-brand is not defined by power or complexity but by quality and intentionality — a mellow, creamy, elegantly balanced cigar that carries the same Matt Booth creative conviction as the five-country original, expressed through a fundamentally different smoking philosophy.
William Ventura Boutique Precision: Produced at Tabacalera William Ventura — the same boutique Dominican factory whose individual care and rolling heritage define Breakfast in Portugal — the FARCE Connecticut benefits from construction attention that brings the quality and consistency of Booth’s premium releases to a gentler, more approachable blend.
Versatile by Design: Mellow-to-medium, creamy, minimal bite — the FARCE Connecticut was built to fit every moment of the day without demanding a specific occasion or a specific level of experience. The most universally approachable cigar in the FARCE sub-brand, and the most natural entry point for any smoker discovering the Room101 world for the first time.
