Description
Leaf by Oscar Big Johnny is the biggest cigar Oscar makes to say the very least! To begin with, the Oscar Valladares Tobacco & Co., is located in Danli, Honduras beginning operations in 2012. The Factory was founded by Oscar Valladares, his brother Hector Valladares and Bayron Duarte. Since its inception, Oscar cigars have become more popular year after year with newcomers and seasoned smokers alike.
With attention to detail, the sweet Nicaraguan wrapper encases a binder and filler made of premium tobaccos from Honduras for a well-balanced smoking experience. It’s important to note the binder and filler are the leaves in the highly rated Leaf by Oscar Maduro blend. At 8 inches in length with a stout 66 ring size , the Big Johnny is a medium-strength giant you will want to take your time with.
To sum up, Leaf by Oscar Big Johnny is available in 16 count boxes and 5 packs just in case you’d like to give them a try. But beware, these bad boys are hard to find at times. Stay in touch with us at The Cigar Thief and we’ll let you know when we have them.

The first thing you need to know about the Big Johnny is that it’s absolutely MASSIVE! Checking in at 8 inches long by a 66 ring, this huge cigar will take between 3-4 hours to smoke so you’ll have to settle down somewhere and get comfortable.
While I’m not a fan of these types of cigars, there are legions of fans that love them. Rated 91 by Cigar Snob magazine in 2016, this well made, medium bodied, Honduran made Gigante is slow burning with a great draw. Throughout your lengthy journey, heaps of natural tobacco taste will envelope your palate with aromatic smoke accompanied with flavor notes of dark chocolate, cocoa beans, brown sugar and molasses. This is a very smooth and enjoyable cigar if you have the time to smoke it and a mouth strong enough to hold it!
