PuroDan Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 My friend Heath hooked me up with one of these sticks this morning. I must say it was my first fresh rolled experience. I always held back and had reservations about custom and fresh rolled cigars. This stick changed my mind. Very pleasant experience. I wanted to eat the stick it was so good. I will sum it up as this. If you like Reese's peanut butter cups you will like Johnny O's fresh rolled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper669 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I have a sampler resting in the humi, no robustos though. The only on I've smoked so far was a Mag47 and it was pretty good. Damon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodrigodeanda Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'm pretty new to smoking cigars but I'm guessing you guys are talking about customs? If so were can one find them? As for now one of my best buddies (who is a cigar smoker too) is in Cuba and will be spending a couple of days in Havana, I guess it would be nice to give him some tips on where to find good customs there. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Rodrigo, Johnny is not in Cuba so your friend will not meet him but there are rollers in some hotels and LCDH's. Search here in the forum and you will find recent threads talking about them.

I already sent him some roller's names in Havana, I just didn't know from Johnny and from the things I read here I saw his cigars are really appreciated. Thanks for the answer. PM on the way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polarbear Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I've smoked his Belicosos, Flying Pigs and 1966's All great after a bit of a rest They're quite harsh and bitter after the first month or two of rolling but really open up after a couple of years rest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1fastmach1 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I wanna try the Johnny O robustos. I had one that was gifted to me that I love. It wasn't a robust though. It was quite a bit larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franko Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Juanita's 60rg foot close is the best:).... Been wondering on Johnny's 1966 tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuroDan Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Bartolomeo has also mentioned the 1966. I figure I can't afford the Cohiba 1966, so maybe I pull the trigger on Johnny's 1966 :-). I told my friend Heath today that this stick kinda reminded me of the Cohibas I smoked in the 90's minus the major spice factor. These sticks are chocolate peanut butter bombs, with the twang of Cuba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgop Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 They're quite harsh and bitter after the first month or two of rolling but really open up after a couple of years rest This Pretty much Johnny's own exact recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuroDan Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 This Pretty much Johnny's own exact recommendation. I should have stated mine was had some humi time down, hit one harsh section in the final third but it finished like a good Cuban should. Left me wanting more.

polarbear Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 It's hard for me to justify buying them because of this fact. By the time they land down under they're usually at least 6 weeks old so I can't even enjoy one before stashing the rest. I did try and smoke a flying pig that was around 5 months old... not an enjoyable experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleDD Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I have several hundred sticks that have just crossed the year mark and can't wait to see how they have progressed. I am fortunate to get them within a few weeks of rolling so I can smoke them fresh. Fresh is a whole different experience and I highly recommend trying it if you can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
