Smoked this one a week after going through the freeze process...appearance is flawless...big cigar...gorgeous dark wrapper commonly found on production LEs. Started off extremely strong and pungent ammonia. 3 puffs in it settles into dark chocalate. Earthy and full bodied throughout. Construction is perfect...no touch ups needed...heavy in the hand but draw is great. I find it very similar to Johns talisman...thats not a bad thing at all.
I also bought a version of these from AOC...its not the same cigar and i can say that with confidence...no comparison.
If you are going to park your coin on an expensive custom its JO all the way in this case...
