I think I finally made up my mind. It would be the Johnny O gifted to me from BigT.
go ahead and fire that dude up! I can always give you another one if you get another "last cigar"...
I'm waiting for A special occasion to enjoy this one. Besides, I've been A little under the weather this past week and I'm afraid it might lesson the experience of such A noble cigar. Rest assured though, it will be smoked soon.

Rodney, if you don't get to it real soon, and I'm mean within days, don't smoke it for at least 8 - 12 months as it will be in it's sick period and will not taste very good at all. Thing with Johnny-O! cigars is that they are rolled frsh so you have only a little time after you get them (originally when BigT got them) to smoke them, ususally 10 - 14 days or so. Then you will need to let them rest for a minimum of 8 months ( I suggest longer ) before they will start smoking good again.

Thanks for the heads up. I now may indulge tonight. There's no way I can wait for that many months..........Thinking................Yep probably will.
Well none of my ISOM's have reached maturity yet so I'd have to wait and sneak them in sometime. I guess right now I'd say the Padron 64 Rick just sent me.

I finally decided to smoke this great gift today. What can be said for this cigar? Lets explore it shall we. I started at 12:15 and finished at 1:20 It was A finely crafted cigar. Heavy but not overly so. A stale straw and earthy smell. After firing the foot I was met with A fine toasty aroma and A smooth draw hinted of A relaxing experience to come. A lite grassy taste was the first thing I noticed. As the burn progressed the aroma had A light wispiness to it. Sublime. The flavors built as the strength intensified until by the midway point it A burnt caramel and slight cocoa coated A oily palate. Again sublime. The aroma was amazing for the entire smoke. The finish was dominated by A strong old fashioned tobacco and caramel aftertaste. This cigar was never bitter even though I smoked it till my fingers burnt. This is A cigar that I personally rated at 95. A must try if I have ever smoked one.
