Lovely cigar! A nice quality band gives a hint of the quality of this corona. The cigar was firm and well made and the draw easy with a burn that only slipped from even for a minute or two, to then return to being flawless all the way down. Pleasant amounts of smoke with a predomination of hot toast aromas and flavours. Great after taste. A really lovely smoke and one I shall certainly be buying again.

Best beginner cigars around. Interesting flavours through out but not over powering. Burns well. Built well. Always worth it.

Last week I sampled the new Juan Lopez Superba RE16. Today I wanted to make a nice review of the regular production Juan Lopez No 2.
Juan Lopez No 2 is in my opinion one of the best Constructed Havanas. It has a lovely wrapper. (I Love them when they come with a dark wrapper) The construction in flavour is amazing.
The first part of this robusto 124mm x 50 is extremely woody (The regional edition one smells like nuts, this one smells sweet and woody) the first flavours are extremely lovely wood, and very sweet brown sugar notes.
The second part is very mellow on my palate, I can recognise a few small notes of almonds.
The third part is getting much more full bodied. Flavours are becoming very rich in sweet notes, some smooth white pepper notes, a bit spicy on my palate but just a little.
The draw is lovely. I cannot find any problems in this cigar. Wonderful smoke.
I would like to recommend trying this cigar with our two Stalla Dhu whiskies, if you like to combine flavours. For the first sweet part of the cigar, try our Stalla Dhu Islay; you can combine the sweetnes

Not a bad smoke was expecting a bit more after reading the reviews, didn't really live up to the star ratings that it has been getting, however the Draw was ok and ash stacked up nicley but felt the flavour was a bit lacking and not as smooth as i would like Not really my kind of smoke.

First JL ever. Not too shabby to look at but not a thing of wonder. The flavours started straight away with the usual cubanesc wood and spice. I want to say I picked on up on some milk chocolate but that would be a smidge fanciful but there was something in th way of pleasant confectionery somewhere towards the end of the first third. So, woody, spicy, choclatey (maybe) but then definite wood and some, not entirely unpleasant, bitterness. This cigar is far from one dimensional! It is definitely not the best at anything but it does have something that soooo many cigars don't achieve; it takes you through a flavour journey that twists and turns, it keeps you thinking. For this alone, I think I'm a fan. I would recommend and buy again. An ageing box would be an interesting project.

If you're lucky enough to get one of these without quality issues, then for under a fiver you will get the taste of a Montecristo No.4 at less than half the price. True, they are not as pleasing on the eye, but you get a real taste of Cuba on a budget. I've sampled about a dozen so far, however when I got a 5 pack I had to throw 4 out of 5 away due to terrible construction and a draw that was plugged so badly I went blue in the face! It almpst feels like a game of Russian roulette when you get to the checkout. Good luck.
