JL#2 20/21 WOW

[Bill Hayes]

Maybe it was the fact, as the most locked down city, gaining some freedoms to meet up with mates, but the JL#2 never fails to deliver for me. As I sat huddled from the wind in the public park in the middle of Caulfield Race course and ate hillbilly ban mei (pork sausage, pork crackle snacks, coleslaw and bbq sauce in a roll) after my JL#2 and Adroit Theory Imperial Stout, I realised why I love this cigar so much. Like the one a week earlier, it was rustic yet not bitter. You know you're smoking a cigar which is what I prefer. It delivered toasted notes with a hint of leather and dried fruits. And the unmistakeable Cuban twang that I find mostly in old school Partagas, some BBF, early Behike and Siglo 6 and JL.

I like your style. I too occasionally go for the cigar-on-a-bench-with-a-beer look. But I need more tweed to truly compete.

Completely agree with "knowing you're smoking a cigar". I like to taste a bit of straight tobacco regardless of other flavours.

Current production of JL2's are legendary. Smoking well young with a lot of great aging potential. Definitely stocking up on 20/21 box codes.

You're a lucky man. The DJINN stout is awesome and so are the Ghost IPA's and just about everything else. Cheers

I will have to try those, have had some of their other imperial stouts/IPAs over the years and loved them. They have a ridiculous amount of beers. Haven't been to the brewery since before Covid, I'm overdue!
