Great Review Shawn! I had one of his robustos this morning and I know what you mean in regards to nubbing the hell out of those cigars!

They really are just lovely, glad that many seem to share this opinion :)

Too bad you couldn't have smoked it farther down...Seems like you wasted quite a bit :stretchgr
I really do have to stop being so wasteful :rolling:

Great review! I've only had a couple vitolas, 2 were great, one was so-so (maybe starting to get sick?). I'd love to hear someone who's smoked a lot of them give brief descriptions of each (how they differ, which are stronger, etc.). That would be cool.

Can't afford it, if it was the new one you wouldn't be seeing the camera in the reflection lol
Okay, I lied. I just bought a new camera but you can still see me in the reflection lol.

This would be both insightful and very helpful as I would like to buy a few of these but have no idea where to start

Stop taking pictures of a shiny ashtray! I'd imagine any camera would show the reflection in that mirror like surface.

Also, a good place to start is a sampler!

Let us know your thoughts when you finally get to enjoy it. I've heard with Johnny O's that they're either good FRESH (1st 6 months), or after about 5 years of sleeping.

You are smoking faster, hahaha one hour and a half to smoke 6"1/2... I took like 2 hours to smoke my robusto last night, hahahaha I'm out of practice, haha.

Nice review!

Great pics and review. Smoked the lancero version a few days ago. I think it was a couple of years old. Very tight draw but the flavor and complexity were well worth the effort. The cinnamon, vanilla, nuts, etc. mentioned in this review thread were all there with a different dominant flavor profile every couple of puffs. Unusual to have such a complex smoke in such a narrow gauge vitola.:grin:

I had a J-O Coronita today, and it was great! A tanginess and some great spice with a delicate sweetness.
