A JO Esplendido

[Magnaflux777]

Hello Folks,
Wanted to do a short review of the JO Esplendidos. The Esplendido has been one of my absolute favorite Cuban cigars and I smoked them from time to time until prices went nuts. I will have to say that the construction on these is perfect and the wrappers look very smooth with no veins at all. The burn was fantastic and the ash held on for a nice ride until it was to long. The tastes i had were the omnipresent barnyard/hay, graham cracker, light spices some hints of honey and a smattering of orange peel. I smoked this one down to the nub and the rest will most likely follow suit as well. If you want a cigar that has some fantastic tastes, burns well and has plenty of smoke the Esplendido will fit the bill each and every time. If Johnny has some Esplendidos you should grab some as you will NOT be disappointed. Thanks again folks and hope you all enjoy your Cuban cigars in good health.

Hello Folks,
I smoked one about4 days after I received them. I gave one to a friend who smoked his that night and said about the same, a great smoke, nice ash and plenty of sweet delicious tastes. Put the remaining sticks in the humidor and can only imagine how good these will be in a few years as they are already amazing cigars. Thanks folks and hope everyone has a great day.

Not sure how many you got, but understand that JOs can go through a "sick" period where they are not as good, but when they comeout of it, they are fantastic from what I remember, been about 10 years since I bought any JOs fresh
