I'm not very good at reviews or distinguishing flavors to the detail others can, but I'll offer the following in the best spirit.

Johnny-O! Flying Pig aka Butifarra (5 X 55) - dark colorado
Fresh and ROTT so it felt a little soft, but solid construction. Nipped the cap with my Palio.
The initial light offered hints of soft cedar. There is a subtle sweetness. Over the bulb opened spices of white pepper. Also caught hints of a slight nutty spice.
Ash held well for the first third, breaking shortly after the photo taken.
Shortly after the ash broke it did require a touch-up.
The soft cedar further develops/strengthen and nutty spice continues, but also offers a creaminess.
Due to the freshness and developing a nice tar, reaching the final 3rd it becomes a little more difficult to keep lit. Still offers a creaminess, but the semi-sweet nutty spice continues. Cedar develops and becomes more complex.
Medium bodied but medium-full flavored for sure. Flavor has more nuance and is not an in-your-face blast. Never became bitter but I do smoke slower than most. Good hour and a half to finish.

The risk was worth the reward. Found the cigar very enjoyable. With age can anticipate the flavors to further develop and become more complex without gaining any strength. Will definitely dry-box for a min of 6-8hrs next time.

A couple brothers since have compared it to a WOAM, but I never got that flavor profile. To me it was completely different. The Butifarra's from what I could find through Google looked similar to the H. Upmann, and the flavor profile to me was more similar to a richer HU than a WOAM. Another BOTL suggested notes from a Punch DC. But I'd agree with medium-bodied offering hints of toasted macadamia nut and cream.

These where from the Economically Advantage line. Would be interested in the comparison to the Factory line offered now.

Have seen some interest in the Johhny-O's recently.
Still have a few of these resting.
