Nice haul Sean! Them Johnny O's definitely have piqued my curiousity.

Jealous :disappoin LOL
Haha thanks. I smoked my first ROTT and it was awesome. It was a bit moist yet the burn was perfect and the taste was amazing except a little bit green, need some serious aging. PM me if you want John's contact info.

That was my experience as well. Some like, some don't, as with any cigar. Glad you liked :)

They are pretty much air tight so there is not much humid that can leak. It is the same principal as with long time aging, you dont want any "nw air" getting in and that is why I and most collectors I know put 2 ziplock bags on a box after it has settled for 2-3 months to make sure nothing gets in or out.

I have always heard and thought that they had to "breathe" while they were aging. Is this not true. Or do the ziplocs give them enough air to do so?

New air is anything but optimal for aging. Some people will say the opposit but you will not find a collector that agrees with them. I check my long time aging cigar one every 2 years, just open the box and have a look. But the Jars, they will not be opened untill I am going to smoke them and that will be in years!
