Somehow, I allowed myself to be touted on to trying the John Bull cigar. I'm always interested in finding an economical every-day stick so I picked up a fiver to try.
To my poor, ignorant palate, it has all the complexity of.. uh, well... cardboard. The burn was ok and the draw was, too, once I gave it a tune-up with my poker. It put out an acceptable amount of smoke. It just tasted like... blecchh. Nothing.
Anybody interested in trading for the remaining four? Probably not.....

Here's what I'd do, get a "biggish" ziplock.
Add a fat shot glass 3/4 filled with Kahlua, Sherry, or Bourbon and your 4 John Bulls.
Let it sit for a month, add liquid if necessary.
Then take out the shot glass, add a humi pack, wait another week or, and fire one up - might make a good yard gar.
The rest of your idea has some merit, though. After all, what do I have to lose? LOL. :-). (There, I remembered this time, yuk, yuk)
Thanks, Bro.

No problem. Tightwad that I am, I keep looking for that one, under-the-radar blend that wafts me off to Nirvana. I need to wise up and admit to myself that it just ain't gonna happen.
Meanwhile, I'm going to try Kingofthecove's suggestion and try infusing some flavor into these otherwise flavorless mammy-jammers. I'll try to remember to report on the success/failure of the mission.
Good info, Heavy. I know I've tried those in the past but I don't remember my impression of them. I'll have to re-visit them, for sure. Thanks.

I thought they were AJ sticks.... could be wrong.

Good suggestion, Cabinetmaker. I've wondered about those. I'll make a note to myself to give 'em a try. Thanks,

Interesting thought, Gypsy. I'll put these in my "to try" list. Thanks.
