MrGTO Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I'm sitting here easing thru a BMU SEP 13 JL2 out of a box I've tossed to the way way back of the coolidor. I have disliked this box since I bought it, but I figured I would give it a try again. I'm tasting sweet grass like a Cohiba in the first 3rd. I had to ask if this is something that others have experienced?

This cigar is anything but boring and one dimensional! Cheers! Bill
CigSid Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I love JL 2's as well... I am smoking out of a 2004 50 count cab, and they are amazing... On some of them I get a sweet hay from the first few puffs, then its caramel, molasses and rich tobacco... The no 1's are great as well.

I had to ask if this is something that others have experienced? Seeing that more and more so. Only for the first 1'/2 inch. Also some citrus notes.
maxcjs0101 Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 The JL no.2 has not impressed me so far. A good looking cigar but i only got a one dimensional smoke. Mine was from a 2013 PSM/BMU box if i recall correctly.
madandana Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Smoked my 1st one last fall with Rushman in Grand Cayman. I've never been so intrigued by a smoke, overwhelming flavor profile..... I just couldn't put my finger on the flavor. Never have I had such strong notes. I've now got 2 boxes of my own to smoke through to see if I can't identify said flavor.
MrGTO Posted August 21, 2015 Author Posted August 21, 2015 Thanks for the input. I was really impressed by this cigar last night. The Prez was right the grass held on for about an inch then faded. I thought it came back a time or two but it became a more full body smoke at the end. I'll definitely smoke another this weekend.
alpyigit Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 If you like CoRo, you will like JL2. Half the price also.. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

phlee Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 One of my favourite cigars. Agree on the similarity to Cohiba
skalls Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I got a pe box from our host and thoroughly enjoying them. Had I not destroyed my budget this month I would have gotten another box of them this week. Those looked gorgeous.
egoo33 Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 i prefer the no 1 over the no 2 but have rarely been let down by the 2 but havent had that flavor profile but ask 10 people youll get 10 different answers, hope it treated you better this time around
MrGTO Posted August 22, 2015 Author Posted August 22, 2015 I am smoking another JL2 at the moment and am glad I didn't give up on this box. I think I like these now. Nevermind the double fisting.... 2
