Juan Lopez Seleccion No1 OPS/DIC/14 (CGDLRW)

[BuzzArd]

Have not pulled a stick from this box in months. Maybe over a year....   And I started to reach for “just another Punch Punch” but thought I’d snoop around and see what else I came up with.   Bingo!   These need attention. 

Right of the bat a very nice at cold fresh, sweet tobacco and grass smell.   Upon lighting an intense floral aroma burst forth.    This cigar would have given any Fonseca No1 I’ve ever had a serious run for the “most floral” award.  And that character was forefront throughout. Honey was present initially as well.   So much so it was probably dead even with the fresh rose scent throughout the first third.   About the half a bready flavor arrived with perhaps some roasted cashews or Hazelnut character, very nicely intermingled with the ever present floral aroma.   Perfect burn. This one i nubbed and wished I’d had another today for my drive.   No real matter, as I probably have 1/2 the box left.  

If you don’t know Juan, get to know Juan.  Fantastic cigars....

One of the absolute best cigars in the Habanos portfolio. Under-appreciated and largely unknown.

These really are terrific.  I plan to post my own review of the same stick this weekend, but may need to just repeat what you said.  Your experience has been the same as mine, except I have been getting loads of creaminess in the latest and less floral than prior boxes.  Notwithstanding the changing profiles, I've enjoyed every single one I've had.
