Johnny O ~ Cazadore Pigtail ~ Jan 08

[badwhale]

Smoke: Johnny O ~ Cazadore Pigtail ~ Jan 08
Drink: Water
Tunes: Cinderella ~ Heartbreak Station

Wrapper: Johnny O
Binder: Johnny O
Filler: Johnny O
Draw: Medium to tight draw (changes to medium – light later)
Burn: Good
Misc: Goes for about 60min

Pre-light: Reddish Colorado shade wrapper. Triple cap with pigtail. Musky tobacco scent. Lightly veined & great construction. Forgot to record the prelight taste.



Light: Easy. Medium to tight draw.

1st 3rd: Nutty, spicy sweet tobacco. Melds into a nice buttery sweet tobacco, so you have several pleasant flavors blending nicely.



Ash: Medium to light gray. Stacked nice. Holds for about 1”



2nd 3rd: Similar to the 1st 3rd. The draw varies from the med-tight to medium-light while I smoke. Woodsy, and toasted nuts, sweet tobacco and spice. Mellow and buttery lest the spice.



3rd 3rd: Tip was getting a tad tarry, so I clipped about 1/8” off. Better now, and back to the profiles described above.



Overall impression: This is a (really) nice smoke.

Thank you, SLCraiders!

Thanks for the review. You think the tar buildup was due to the tight draw? Sounds like a great cigar other than the draw. Was it too-tight construction or did it need to be dry-boxed?

Out of curiosity have you heard any thunder lately? Seen any lighting? Tomorow's Friday... just sayin.

I suck at ping pong. Just thought I'd let the world know

I don't think it needed dry boxed. The draw opened up later. I don't know what led to a bit of tar.

I keep having these extremely scary nightmares about losing at ping pong and my wife is laughing at me. I think I need to back down from the challenge.

Too bad about the tar.

How about a bundle split soon...I have no Johnny O's left.

Oh, and Will, those kind of nightmares are scary....if you were planning to play someone that doesn't suck.

I'd be down, I think [looks in wallet, and a bunch of moths hit badwhale in the face]
