Room101 - area codes?

[sean]

Maybe this is a big "no duh," but I was wondering if anyone knew the significance of the Room101 vitola names? All I think of is area codes:

213- Original LA Area Code
305- Original Miami Area Code
323- Newer Area code for Hollywood/Silverlake
404- Atlanta
702- Vegas
808- Honolulu/All of Hawaii

All Matt's favorite places? Or maybe a migration history?

Just geekin' out... let me know if I am off base.

Found this thanks to the google machine

The original release was a medium-bodied cigar, with each particular size named after the area code of a famous city within the United States, including 213 (Los Angeles) and 305 (Miami). The new Conjura (meaning conspiracy) is a more robust blend marketed towards those who like fuller bodied cigars.

Thanks, I couldn't find that... infernal google machine. But i'm still not clear as to what the selection process is for the area codes...

No clue... smallest vitola is LA 213 and biggest is Honolulu 808 so bigger the area code larger the cigar? I smoked few 808 and 702 last year but I can't remember much about it. I guess that means they weren't terrible nor outstanding?

I personally prefer the room 101 ltd. I actually have 3 boxes of each size in my coolidor. I can't get enough of them.
