Johnny O's

[Zen Smoker222]

Huh interesting for sure.

Smoke it. It's cheap. Johnny Os are custom rolled cigars. EA bundles = economically advantaged bundles. EA bundles are cheaper because they are either missing a few cigars out of the 25 ct or they have darker wrappers.

No, the EAs are from a different roller. I asked John. There's nothing "wrong" with them, he just uses EA as the "brand" for this second roller.

Wow those Churchills are super cheap so EA is just like a lesser roller.

^ correct. Regular factory-type rollers for EA, and a "world famous" roller for the others. In theory the tobacco is picked from the same stock.

I like the World Famous stuff a lot, haven't tried the EA actually. I've been thinking about picking some up soon, like Lagito #2s or something.

I'm not convinced these are CC's in my experiences

Is cuban tobacco used to make these?

The Laguito No. 2s I got were really good, as were the piggies. I was able to limit myself to two of each fresh, so the rest are aging.

And to be honest, I think folks should worry less about where the tobacco is from on these, because it's impossible to know for sure. The point is they're not too expensive, they taste good, and they're interesting--shaggy/closed feet, less common vitolas, etc.

 

[BigFoot]

Hate to admit it, but I gotta agree with scittles. Amazing price, some great vitolla. Who the hell cares where there from, if they taste good smoke em. I myself am waiting to Ike the ones I got because there more than likely in there "sick" stage. I will be placing am order next time around and try some fresh.

I agree that it doesn't matter where they come from, but from my experiences with them, they taste and have very similar characteristics of isom tobacco. No expert here, just my 2 cents...

I disagree with your disagree after a few years down they definitely have CC characteristics. Room aroma flavor etc.

 

[hdroadglide]

They're rolled in Cuba. What other leaf would they use ?

 

[Knickerbocker]

you guys have me wanting to try him out now.

 

[JimmyC]

Been on the fence for a while now... may order a bundle when it gets warm enough to smoke some fresh.

These days I'm down to 1 or 2 sticks a week. Ugh..... cold temps bite.

+1. Way too many positive comments here for me to even try and resist.

I've got a bundle on the way. I want to try them fresh but is their a beetle problem with these "farm rolled" sticks ? Should I immediately put them in the freezer before I give them a try ?

For once I'm going to say FREEZE!!!! There has been losts of info lately on custom rolls coming out with beetle problems. One person just lost a couple of bundles of WF Monsdales to beetles that were rolled last fall. Btw IMO JOs to me seem "ruff" till the 2-3 yr mark. Even when fresh FWIW.......

Yep if they taste good I will be all over them for the price. I do agree I really like all the pics I have seen searching the web. Cigar pass has a huge list with all/most viotola's and prices.

 

[nanilla]

I really like these, they are even better with a few years on them.

 

[whodeeni]

IMO they're definitely real. I had a friend that damn near lost his mind after
smoking the EA Churchills once they dried out. He used to have a brush foot
natural lancero/lonsdale. I was gifted two of those from Vegan a long time ago.
That was the first time I tasted 'butter' in a cigar, and i've never tasted it since....

John is a good man in my book.
