Juan Lopez Seleccion No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Friday 03 June, 2016 by Staff

Reviewed by Jack Schonhaut ( October 2000) The three cigars I had were all 4 7/8 x50 with a smooth firm feel, light brown EMS color, perfect cap and a foot that looked like it was cut by a laser It was a sunny Saturday afternoon when I took the first vitola outside with a dram of Springbank 25 year old single malt. The cut was clean and it lit without and problem. A puff was all it took to start a nice stream of smoke. An easy draw, a nice breeze and a fine scotch. The only thing missing was any flavor from the cigar. The taste wasn't harsh, it wasn't mild, it just wasn't. The ash grew to around two inches before it fell off. In fact the remaining ash held until I finally put the cigar down with less than an inch remaining. There still was no flavor to be found. Vitola number two went to bat the following Saturday accompanied by a dram of Bowmore 22 year old Islay malt. Another perfect cut and light. Another plume of smoke after an easy draw. Another disappointment, no taste. Victim number three was smoked the following afternoon accompanied by a cup of black coffee. Sad to say the outcome was the same as its predecessors. These were fine looking smokes that just didn't deliver.

Well I would start by echoing the description at the top of this page.Definitely not to be underestimated and some great,full flavour.Starting off with some lovely fruity biscuit type flavours which slowly give way to dark chocolate with an underlying,subtle vanilla.This a ballsy,full on cigar with just wonderful Cuban tobacco characteristics.If you'll bear with an analogy for a moment,comparing it to another full flavour Robusto,The BRC.The BRC will turn up at your dinner party in a tuxedo,be very nice and polite and always conduct itself with the best of decorum.This cigar will turn up in it's denim and leathers,sit down,speak it's mind and tell you exactly what it thinks.And you know what,you'll want to listen and listen again!! If you haven't tried one you really,really must!!

Did not enjoy this cigar. Very uneven burn and went off TWICE.Wrapper did not match filler burn.

These are an excellent smoke. I bought three recently from CGars and all were superb and in excellent condition. I smoke the first on the banks of Loch Lomond after finishing an excellent dinner. The rest I smoked at my local with a glass of Jack Daniels. They taste sweet and yet have an hint of spice. I found these reasonably mild. Set to become an regular addition to my Humi written by MrY

Enjoyed my first one of these after medallions of lamb and a passionfruit souffle at Jules Verne in the Eiffel Tower. I was very pleasantly surprised with the smooth, buttery, almost toffee-like sweetness of this medium bodied robusto. So much so, that I bought a box the next day. written by The Mantis

I love this cigar, one of my favorite Cubans. It is a very pleasant smoke, not too heavy, a good one for a relaxed afternoon with a good cup of coffee and a little rum on the side. written by Michael
