Juan Lopez Seleccion No.2 “MEL DIC 16” (SBLVRW)

[Gamehawker]

This is the second Juan Lopez Seleccion No. 2 “MEL DIC 16” from a box I got about 3 years ago. The first one I smoked did not impress me that much and that was about a year and a half ago.  I was smoking this cigar in my garage roasting coffee before the Super Bowl tonight. 
 

The first third was nicer than I remember from the first cigar. It had slight flavors of orange and chocolate and has a slight espresso twang to it. The draw was perfect and a medium strength. 
 

The second third continued with the orange chocolate notes but it was a little more intense and it continued with the medium strength. 
 

The final third continued with the increase of orange and chocolate flavor and the espresso flavor increased too with the strength picking up to. 
 

I took my time with the cigar and finished-it in about 80 minutes. 
 

I am glad these cigars have improved and I look forward to another one soon. 
 

I pick the KC Chiefs to win tonight.

I have the exact same box code and the exact same experience. I smoked four or five in 2019, three in 2020. Yes, for me, they're still building in character too according to my (palatial) preference.
