Matt Booth has a nack for the outlandish and sometimes the obsered, however, what he does even better is blending tobacco. Once in a blue moon, you might see a small run of something exclusive pop up from Matt Booth and Room 101. Eamples of such cases are Snake Shake, Who Shot Ya, and Cherubs, to name a few. It’s always an experience when Matt teams up with other companies or blenders and produces something that is just downright flavorful. Well, he is at it again! Let me introduce you to the Shepherd by Matt Booth and Pospiech cigars. Many might be familiar with Powstanie from Pospiech? Powstaine is a boutique company that packs that rich, Nicaraguan punch. Owner of the brand, Mike Pospiech, has released projects with Matt before, and their latest launch is the Shepherd. What is it? I am glad you asked.
The Shepherd Cigar is a micro batch limited to only 10,000 cigars. Released in 10 pack bundles, the Shepherd is a 5 3/4 by 50 ‘almost but not quite a toro’ as Mike puts it. He also gives the blend breakdown in the following description:
“This is our second collaboration with Matt Booth.
The wrapper is “really good”
Binder is “strong enough to keep it all together”
Filler is “leprechaun magic with a dash of fairy dust”
Because you’re the weak and I’m the tyranny of evil men. But I’m trying real hard to be the shepherd. Mr. Booth and I both added our signatures to the bands. Because if you believe in it you should put your name on it. ” – Mike Szczepankiewicz
For a limited time, we have the Shepherd available here at OGT. If you would like a glimpse into Matt Booth’s mind, all be it scary, I suggest you pick up a few Shepherds. It might change your life. Perhaps.
