I recently received a cigar from a friend (Thanks again), that I have never had the experience of trying...a Juan Lopez Seleccion #1.
Prior to lighting I admired the cigar, to its "perfect" cap, then its wonderful construction and finally its perfect colour (Colorado Claro); the cigar was very well made to say the least.
Next, I clipped the end and took a pre light draw, to see what I was in for. The draw clean and free, and that point I knew I would have no troubles.
Upon lighting, the first three or so draws were extremely rough and tannic. At first, giving me a feeling of disappointment and then without notice quickly diminishing.
The first part of this cigar was extremely woody, then turning to a sweet woody flavour with a hint of honey. By the second third it transformed yet again to predominately woody flavour with a hint of floral and leather notes (quite minor) and then the final third was semi sweet wood and clean tobacco (which was present throughout but mainly hidden) with a hint of pepper and spice.
This cigar was an extremely go

Agree with everything from the Thomas review here. Very good value for money I think.

Nice cigar for the price, better than some more expensive ones I've tried. Very smooth but not underwhelming. Well made, good draw and creamy smoke that lasted 50 minutes. Has a delicious wood aroma and taste with the menthol-ish undertone I adore, no peppery spice and very slight bitterness. If you like softer cigars you've got to try this, it's one for beginners to enjoy on special occasions, and I may turn to if I fancy something lighter.

For the price you get a decent sized smoke with a really nice sweet flavour. No complexity or anything special but cheap and nice tasting. An essential and versitile humidor filler

Very nice smoke for under a fiver. Smooth, earthy and a bit of a spice kick the whole way through, definitely buy these again.

Juliany Maduro Robusto Cigar - 1 Single

Looks fantastic and smells great. Tastes very fresh all the way to the end, quite floral and grassy. Wish there was more flavour for a maduro this dark but it's still a nice simple smoke. Draw and burn were perfect
