are you drinking that Dark Rye with it? If so, what do you think?

It works together so far. I did have to relight about midway through but figure I ignored it a little long being it is still wet. I don't think it overpowers it at all, and more compliments it right now.

I also thought the Dark went well, with the robusto .

my first Johnny-O. Burned very well, draw was easy, picked up strength as it went along. Nice smoke now, but I can see tremendous potential in the future.

If you enjoy the PSD #4 you should like the JL #2, imo.

Not much of a JL fan myself, but Recent production is reportedly stellar.

If you wait it out they often go on sale for $160-$165, I prefer them over the PSD4 but do enjoy both

JL#2 slightly lighter than a PSD#4 with more of a woody profile than the stronger leather notes of the PSD#4. Both are excellent.

Taste test. Not surprisingly I liked the '14 better but only slightly.

I’m considering ordering some cigars for the first time in 10+ years. Since C-Bid no longer carries my (old) favorite brands, I was hoping to ask someone here what’s the best way to obtain ISOM’s? It used to be ordering via HK, but as I says it’s been a decade or more since I paid attention to that sort of thing.

Also, brands. I used to love PSD #4’s & RyJ #2’s & 3’s, but what about lesser known brands that are similar in flavor to what I mentioned?

Thx

Don't know what it is, given to me by another BOTL.

Tag says J.O. E.L. LAG#2 6-13

I'm digging the flavor but draw is super tight. Still burning evenly though.

LFdC.

And, I'm not sure I'd call them lesser known, but the current Trinidad vigias and LGC MdO4 are smoking phenomenally well right now. Very different profile than the Partagas and RyJ you mentioned though.
