Johnny O EL robusto

Have had several of these over the past week (and I'm normally a variety guy who smokes 3-4 times a week), which may clue you into how awesome these are.

Tannic and slightly ammoniated opening

1st
Creaminess (flavor and body)
Ginger, grassiness, coffee bean and a pleasant cake-like note
Very complex and very high quality tobacco
Finish is sweet and lemongrassy, turning to pepper

2nd
Sometimes marshmallow and soft - other times peppery, but not harsh. Just a testament to some excellent ligero.
Profile is complicated - all flavors present in 1st are interplaying and the profile doesn't sit still, puff to puff

3rd‎
Quick shift in profile
Soft exotic woods
Harmonious mix of honey, cream and green grass
Nicotine kick - significant for a Havana, but not for the Padron, Opus and Liga crowd
Cake-like finish with chocolate and a pleasant sour counterpoint to accentuate the‎ rest of the profile‎

Overall, very happy to have a bundle. Dreading any future sick period that may develop, but regardless, a grand slam from Johnny!

I am really enojoying these EL cigars from John.  I usually never smoke the same thing two days in a row, and I have found myself smoking these just day after day.

I find them medium bodied, with a creamy youth, slightly grassy, slightly nutmeg-y, which reminds me a lot of some of my other favorite cigars.  I've ordered a few different types a few different times and each time I've gotten what I expect as far as the provenance.

He has always been quick to respond and quick to ship.  Super convenient.  He's becoming my regular go-to :)
