Johnny O's fresh rolled

[eswary]

Robos and shaggy foot LBMF's are pretty solid IMO.

Smoking a Mag 47 from summer of 2014 as I type this and I've got to say time has been kind to this stick. Fresh it was chocolate, wood and bready like a cross between a Montecristo and Upmann. Now it's opening up to reveal some crazy flavors. Same base profile, but now notes of cream, spice and fruit scattered through.

Can't wait to try more from this time period. I've got a few different vitolas scattered throughout my humis.

Haven't touched mine in a long time, I will revisit this weekend.

3/16 Johnny O Sub....tasty and cheap

[irratebass]

These are definitely on my bucket list to try, people rave about them.

I bought a bundle of Robusto Extra back in Feb. The couple I had ROTT were outstanding.

[papatrips]

Picked up Mag47 and Behique 52 bundles last year. Love them. Had to dry box them for a few days.

I also noticed that even after 6 months of getting them they had not hit a sick period. I have since buried them so that they can age a bit. I have also tried the 1966s thanks to a great BOTL and they were fantastic.

I will order more this summer.

The images of the Flying Pig are HUpmann Butifarra format, I have one in the WF format that is 6 1/8 X 52 with a pigtail. John

Just contacted you John about some Johnny Os! Can't wait to get my hands on some!

Just finishing a Robusto from 2014. My first Johnny O. Very good cigar.

those all look beautiful. Johnny's are some of the best, especially at his pricing. Have some 2nd hands from 09/10 and also my own sampler bought from him in 13'. All are smoking terrific.

[stogieluver]

I've had a small sampling of Johnny O's and have liked them for the most part, but I have had a few that I had to pitch due to tight draw. Not to disparage John, but whoever is rolling these needs to know there are draw issues, and as a custom roll I wouldn't expect to have that issue. But, I'm no expert on custom rolls as I have very limited experience with them, so take my comments with that in mind.

[JohnnyO]

Most of the draw issues are because the cigars are coming wet out of Cuba. Dry boxing fixes this. John

Nice sticks. There's something special about a pile of well-rolled bandless fresh ones.

So only 2 motnhs rest?

[garbandz]

Not sure but they could be from December, maybe 3 months old.

I dry them down quickly and pack them in a cedar cedar cab in the humi.

    Usually I try John's customs often as they age ,and seldom do they make 2 years.

 

[Jimmy_jack]

Dry boxing a couple now. Can’t wait to smoke them. I’ll report back.

Good info. I’m lookin to try a bundle. Probably won’t last very long in my humi if i like the first one ROTT ?

[Buck14]

Good Luck with the new Johnny’s!

I got 3 fiver samplers of the WF style in December 2017 and have maybe tried 6 of the 15 sticks and have been pretty underwhelmed so far. One of the sticks was decent but they all seemed to get putrid when you get around the halfway point. I do get Cuban aroma (smoke smell) from them but taste, construction, burn issues are all prevalent and too a lesser extent draw. 

My remaining sticks are buried in my humi and maybe I’ll try one again toward the end of the Summer. 

At this point they resemble Davidoffs in all aspects except for cost (thank god). That sorta moldy, rancid hay taste with all the issues above are what Davidoffs for me are known for - and perhaps Johnny’s at least so far.

[garbandz]

too soon. these need to dry down a lot and rest.

the drying part is critical............
