Sydney cigar lovers would remember Matt Booth's quick visit to Australia in early 2010 to promote his new line of Room 101 cigars and attend the Sydney Tattoo convention. Among Matt's entourage was Edgar 'One Shot One Kill' Hoill, Room 101's chief photographer who has since branched out to launch his own clothing line.
Room 101 Cigars has now launched an OSOK Limited Edition cigar in Edgar's honour. Both Matt and Edgar were more than happy to blaze up and share a few drinks with Sydney cigar lovers back then and I'm sure plenty of my readers will follow-up this new release.
Matt Booth explains the new limited edition:
Edgar Hoill (One Shot, One Kill), is the Los Angeles based photographer responsible for all of the Room101 imagery you find floating around in the universe. From product imagery to lifestyle shots and beyond, Edgar’s keen eye and mental frame are what give his photography life beyond just a simple image on paper.
I’ve had the honor of working with OSOK over the past few years. During this time, I have come to know him as an individual whose character matches up to the quality of his work. His magnetic personality draws people towards his genius imagery and towards OSOK, the character.
I am honored to call Mr. Hoill a good friend and a brother in this lifetime. He is an original member of the 101 family and we would not be where we are today without him. As he has also been a long time cigar enthusiast, I am proud to offer this limited series bearing his name.
Each of the Room101 OSOK cigars were rolled, and then hand-shaped by one master roller in our factory. The blend, considered to be a medium plus, is built on a chassis of Authentic Corojo in the binder and filler. The oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper adds smoothness, while the combination of Corojo and Dominican Piloto Ligero help further the strength as you move through the smoke.
