Juan Lopez Seleccion Especial EBP ABR 21(RMRRW-JLRA)

[SMELTZ]

Draw: perfection, smoke production is good and the aroma is amazing. 

Cold Draw: bread, nougat, wood

1st Third: Wood, bread, nougat and floral. Through the nose: citrus, wood and a touch of honey. -Body & Flavor - Mild

2nd Third: woody bread floral flavor to start. Creamy Bakers spice, wood, citrus and an earthy note show up. Through the nose: earth, spice and a touch honey. -Body & Flavor Medium

Final 3rd: wow, immediately tastes like a clean and complex JL2 in spades. Much more woody spice & earthy, citrus and creamy honey sweetness. Through the nose: Earth,  strong bakers spice, nougat and a slight honey comb sweetness. -Body & Flavor over-medium. Complex & Balanced!

Summary: as Hamelt says, ‘I like a cigar to take me on a journey’ and that’s what this cigar did. Started mild, moved to medium and over-medium on the final 3rd. Had to grab a sweet tea on the final inch. This is my fifth JL ES and every one has tasted like this and took me on a satisfying journey. Construction was near perfect and ashed a total of three times and was never hot. 1 hour and 21 minutes to the nub.

I've enjoyed every one of these I've had. They can vary but they're always between 92-94 for me.

I agree with you 92-95 between the five from this box. This one was special. I hope to see your review soon.

These are really good.  So much Graham cracker and nougat. Super creamy too! It's a little woodsy but really tasty for a young cigar. 1st one from a fiver. It's really mild/mediumish throughout the entire cigar which I love!  

Probably one of the better offering I've tried in the last 3 years from HSA.

I had one stick last night, good cigar but may need some resting.
