Johnny-O ELs

Post by Bigkahuna »

Just tried my first bundle of JO ELs. Wow. Just wow. Tons of flavor and smoke. The aroma is spot on and I mean spot on. Even fresh there is almost no harshness at all. These will absolutely go on regular rotation for me. Also, immediate shipping and all around great BOTL.

Sorry. These were the 55 Anniversaries. Dark oily wrappers and the aroma is spot on.

...these 55's sound interesting, but man arent they like 59 ring gauge?

My question is, how is the smoking experience with these in such large ring gauge?  Figured they'd take years to age to a smokeable point, or do you really like first few months??

JL - the 55 is a powerhouse of a cigar right now...in my opinion 3-5 years will be optimal...but if you like strong with that gritty earthiness that you find in a lot of ELs...you would probably like it fresh.
