Popular Post cigaraholic Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2022 It’s been fun and rewarding following this cigar’s progress over the years. I was a huge JL PC smoker until my dear friends at HSA took that away from me. Fortunately a decade ago I took Rob’s advice and jumped on the JL #2 bandwagon. I bought a box of #4’s when they were released and was smart enough to try them early. It was a good cigar, but there was a big flavor of something I liked but couldn’t nail down. Reminded me of tasting a great young Sauternes, sleeping beauty. So I did what any crazed cigar lover would do...ordered more boxes. For me it took about 7 years for this cigar to let me out of the waiting room and into the office, it’s been worth the wait. Cigar is nicely filled at 14.2 g with a smooth dark colorado wrapper. The foot has an exotic floral aroma, draw is fine with a sweet woody toasted tobacco and Cointreau flavor. A cigar you could just suck on all day and be happy....I almost don’t want to light it👻 Opening puffs are tangerine and creamy oats that turn into orange spongecake. A little walnut comes in, then it’s honeysuckle and toasted tobacco with middle eastern spice. Cigars don’t get any better than this, fantastically rich flavor. Time for a little glass of Cointreau with this ride! It’s medium bodied and as rich and delicious as I could want. Makes me feel very lucky smoking such a beautiful cigar. Cointreau is perfect, adds some earthy licorice flavor and turns this cigar into an orange creamsicle. Very lucky to have a bunch more E ticket rides with this cigar to come. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCCubano Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Nice review! I bought two boxes from Czar when they came out. All gone now but I felt they were the best JL I had smoked. Was also a fan of JLPC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucko8 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Fantastic review thanks. Was fortunate to have this cigar suggested to me to try at a PCC cigar lounge In Hong Kong back 2010. Recall it as been a delicious smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakebarnes Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I feel like the more JL I smoke, the more I am ready to concede it as my only marca if I had to just have one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw another band on, and it'd be a $50 smoke. Jl1s are da bomb. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Presidente Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Great review! These were always going to be a great cigar. You just weren't sure if it was going to be 5, 7 or 10 years. You nailed it. They are rich and complex. Just a bloody gorgeous smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hayes Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Very jealous here. Great review. love the #2. Top work buying more boxes. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Have half a box left and they just keep getting better. Have a clean tangy citrus element to them combined with a rich spicy tobacco note, very unusual in my experience but bloody fantastic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
