Payback

The Big Payback is a signature creation from the creative mind of Matt Booth of Room 101 Cigars. This line was developed as a thank you to the loyal fans and supporters who have been part of the brand’s journey. The concept is simple: to offer a premium, flavorful, and satisfying cigar at an incredible value. The Big Payback delivers on that promise, providing a high-quality smoke that is both accessible and delicious.


Here at Stixx Cigar House, we are proud to present the full spectrum of The Big Payback line in a formidable Gordo size. For a milder experience, enjoy the smooth notes of coffee, cream, and milk chocolate from the Payback Connecticut. If you prefer a richer profile, the Payback Maduro offers complex notes of cocoa, leather, and licorice, while the Payback Nicaragua delivers a full-bodied journey of spice and earth.
