Juan Lopez Seleccion No.2

[rcarlson]

Does anyone have experience with the 2010-2011 Juan Lopez Seleccion No.2? I have a group that's interested in a sharing a cab. I know nothing about them. The FOH video review was a little dated and left me ambivalent.

Hi Tigre,

I've really enjoyed the last box I bought (SAO JUL10). Highly recommended. Here are my notes of last summer about it:

"A dream-come-true cigar. Wonderful taste: cedar and vanilla in the first third; leather, dark coffee and bit of honey in the second; leather, dark coffee and pepper in the final. 95"

Keep in mind that I'm partial to this brand and this particular vitola!

Best,

Michel

Def a cult folloeing

I split off my cab of mid 2010 cab of JL2, and it was very well received. I personally think it has no flavors, but a lot of NA smokers like them.

I have found this cigar to be inconsistent. Some boxes outstanding, others disappointing. I would be very careful to acquire a boxcode that others can vouch for, or better yet, ask Rob to select a good box for you.

[cottierm]

You've got it, I think. Ask Rob to pick up a box for you.

What are your thoughts?

Hello,

I am almost through a box of 2010's and I have two boxes of December 2011's in the humi. I happen to love the Juan Lopez flavor profile and the JL2 in particular, which I find to be a little richer than the JL1.

Thank you,

Curtiss

Buy Buy Buy !!! Never had a bad one

[rcarlson]

Thanks for all the opinions guys. I feel like I MUST give them a try. I'll report my findings!

[JCDizz]

The ones I have are from DIC 11' and have been great so far! I am very happy I picked up a box.

[riderpride]

I'm nearly done a box from Aug '10 that are delicious. This box aside, I have only experienced a couple singles, so I cannot comment on the consistency.

Cheers

Maybe I've just been lucky with JL, but what I have had (#1s and #2s), have left me wanting more every time.

[rcarlson]

Thanks for the additonal input guys. These are sounding like potential "hidden gems."

Hate to be the voice of dissent but I have never had one that did anything for me - fresh or aged

[edlye]

You're not alone in that opinion. I'll stick with the JL1 from the seleccion line.

Doh!

Up until 2004'ish these were one of my FAV's. But then HSA changed the blend

I have a cab of 2006 that I STILL can't touch. Beginning to wonder if this batch will EVER be approachable...

However, If (and only if) Rob says recent stock are smoking well, then I'd be willing to give them another chance.

Got a box from LFTH, 2011 code. The look and smell AMAZING, but I haven't burned one yet. Very soon, though

[rcarlson]

Vini Vidi Vici. I hate to report that the JLS No.2 (DIC 11)were a huge disappointment. Nothing interesting about them at all (that I could detect). Well constructed. Good price. But I think I'll move on to greener pastures and leave the rest of these for my friends. I don't believe aging will do much for these yawners.

[ramon_cojones]

Had my last one and too tight to enjoy (again), so many duds in that box I'm hesitant on every getting some again.

My question is how many dec 11 boxes are smoking great?

I dunno, but a trusted source (not Rob) was bragging on the late 2011s. I am at a loss to understand why.

[CigarmanTim]

I love these. Fresh or aged... to each their own.

[Chunks96ss]

I'm thinking of getting a box of these as my first CC box purchase
