I was with CMHICKSUSMC when he smoked his first 101... It was pretty terrible, tasted like straight metal. But then i tried the 305 and i was blown away! If youre gonna smoke a regular 101, 305 is the way to go!Right now a Room101 "305" robusto....saw them at the B&M and remember CMHICKSUSMC say good things about them...good smoke so far...
