Juan Lopez Seleccion No. 2

The Juan Lopez Seleccion No. 2 is one of the most fair priced Robustos in the Habanos range and a bit of a hidden gem among true connoisseurs.

Introduced in the year 1870 and still a success to this day, this well-balanced vitola surprises with notes of Cuban earth paired with a hint of vanilla. With a 50 ring gauge, it sits comfortably in the hand and makes a very high-quality impression.

From the first puff, smokers of this Robusto can expect a full, intense Cuban aroma. The woody notes are enhanced by a unique drying process used for the harvested tobaccos

The Juan Lopez Seleccion No. 2 is well-made and features a coarsely ribbed, oily wrapper.  The pre-light aroma is quite earthy and spicy.

The draw is easy, and the burn after lighting is flawless. The flavor is quite nutty and robust right from the first few puffs. The first third starts off shyly flavourwise then it develops into a creamy smoke. The ash cone is good and ranges from light to steel gray. In the second third, leathery and earthy aromas emerge, rounded off with a hint of vanilla.

This vitola has everything a Cuban cigar enthusiast could want. The smoke, with its dominant character, fills the room with a unique aroma. Towards the end, the ash turns slightly yellowish and deep wood tones appear, giving the whole thing a somewhat toasty taste.

A proper daytime cigar
