+1 please let us know ASAP when you have a chance to smoke the WF Lancero...I am very interested in your review on that stick!

Keep you guys updated

I received a bundle of lanceros a few months ago. Flavor wise they were spot on but I did have some problems with extremely tight draw on quite a few, combined with soft spots in other places.

Thanks for the info.
I sent a message to John on another forum several days ago. I haven't heard back from him yet. I just got the Perfecdraw and think I will get a chance to use it from what I'm hearing about the lancero.

My first Johnny O. 

Very happy with it. 

 

[Optic101]

Had the Flying Pig today. 

Construction feels ok, draw very loose  

Very light at start, difficult to separate flavors which are there. 

Over time strength and flavors increased up to full at the end. 

Quite complex with mixed flavors. 

At the beginning it reminds me of a HDM DC, closer towards the end a RyJ Ex4.

Ready to smoke now.

Is it just me or do the caps look really rough.

I've personally capped cigars better than some of those. And I cant roll cigars to save my life, I've tried. The tobacco sticking out of the feet of those 66s seems quite stringy/stemmy as well. That is a bundle of RUSTIC looking cigars.

I've smoked and enjoyed a number of gifted Johnny O's. I have nothing against them and I am not trying to disparage them in anyway, but I would not be happy receiving bundles that looked like that. Even with the leaf quantity/quality issue Cuba is dealing with right now, there are so many solid cigars to park your coin.

Those look rough as hell.

there are plenty of other options available from John that display quite the advanced level of craftsmanship...I assure you...

I agree! I don't have a ton of experience with them, but the ones I have smoked have been closer to the photo in this post than the previous two. I've had a couple of the very small "flying pig" type vitolas that smoked very well. But if I was in an LCDH looking for cigars to buy, I would pass on the two bundles above.

I grabbed a few bundles when I was in Florida about 5 years ago. Overall construction was very good except for a few plugged corona extras.

I’ve never been disappointed with the vigias

[El Corojo]

I had the same experience, from some WF Lanceros, I got a few months ago.  They tasted great though!

Indeed a bit on the rough side.

Great smoke though !

Yeah I’m gonna wait for a while. Seems strange to me. Never seen quality like that from J-O.
