Juan Lopez No. 1 MOL JUN 17 (HBFCRW)*

Last time I told myself I would not touch this box again until it hit 3 years. Well, months later, I could not resist checking in to see if things have gotten better.  You see, this is my 10th stick out of this box and the first 9 were all tent poles.

After 5 minutes with a PerfecDraw, the stick is passably smokeable.  The wrapper is velvet.

Aroma at Cold - Cedary tobacco with a zest and acidity

Pre Light Draw - Rather acrid and hot through the nose

1st Third - Toast, those fruit slice gas station candies, Coca-Cola Lime

2nd Third - Milk coffee, cake donut and Coca Cola

Last Third - Mostly toasted tobacco

Score: 86/100. Just couldn’t get the smoke production I like and had to be careful not to overheat it

Bummer you're not getting the love out of this box.  I've had a winning streak with the JL1.  Hoping it doesn't end soon.  They're damn tasty.
