Review notes: As a fan of the Juan Lopez No. 1, I had to try the much-talked-about No. 2. I smoked my very first one today, and the best way to describe it is "excellent!" The construction was impressive: dark, oily wrapper with a couple of prominent veins but nothing to take away from the overall appeal. Merely holding the cigar in my fingers was a real sensory treat. The aroma as I lit the foot was enticing. The draw was tight but adequate (could it be because I used a punch instead of cutting the cap?) and the burn was fairly even. My first puff contained toasty, nutty flavors which remained prominent through the first third of the smoke. The second phase tasted earthy, grassy and vegetal with a prominent spicyness. During the final phase, the vegetal taste really came to the forefront, accented by a heftier kick of spice on the back of my tongue. With a couple years aging, I can see this cigar rivaling the likes of any of the Cuban Robusto Big Boys. |

Review notes: This cigar is not well known, but should be! It is very dark and oily, and has a perfect burn and draw. It shows a lot of dark, roasted, earthy flavors with some spice. It has a twang to it as well, which makes it delicious. Age these. They will be even better. |

Review notes: Ordered a box of these after reading the review and rating in Cigar Afficionado. Superb, fine smoke. Big full cigar which reminds me of the Cuban cigars from many years ago. This style is what separated the strong Cuban cigars from the Dominicans and Honduranians. Will be one of my favorites! |
