Virtual Tasting 1: Juan Lopez Selection No 2 UPM JUL 07

[Guibou]

HdM Epicure 2 from 2005...

[Ken Gargett]

you wouldn't be playing unfair games with a hamlet would you? though it sounds too light and not quite good enough, though there were a few moments in your review that reminded me of one of his.

[Asher]

» So……what is it?

That description sounds somewhat like the RyJ Exhibicion #4 I had tonight. The size is wrong, so I'll guess a 2007 RyJ Short Churchill.

The Ex #4 is a hermoso #4 I guess.

I agree with SC.

Ken, I can rule out a Hamlet. If I still had one of yours here then it would have been a real possibility

Prez,

I reckon it's a JL 2. Tasted and looked like a few I had in 2006.

JLo No. 2 is my guess as well, but perhaps from 2007.

Edited to add:

Neat idea Rob! Always glad to have another chance to show my ignorance... :-D

[Tampa1257]

The descriptions were close for several cigars in my mind. What sealed it for me was the flavor of Sandlewood and sweet spice. Because of the extremely flakey ash, the age of this cigar is very young.

I believe this cigar to be a Juan Lopez Sellecion No.2 either a 07or a 08 model.

[winelover]

I'll take a punt, a Choix Supreme?

[Dr.G]

A stupid guess to add to the list: Cohiba Robusto 2007???

Cheers,

George

[Mike33]

I'll add another vote for the JL #2.....probably from '07.

[Mr. Japan]

Where's the band :-D

[strayvector]

Sounds like the last HdM Epi 2 I had. If you had thrown in a touch of sourness, then you must have relit the last half of what I put down. Box was from '06. I hope it gets better with age.

[brian1]

The cirtrus reference leads me to a Choix Supreme maybe?

[Taino]

...from your review I would say it's NOT a JL or Cohiba... maybe HDM

x2 - Total stab in the dark though!

Cool idea

[smokum]

Epi 2 08

[habanohal]

Boli RC POS 06

[IShotAManInReno]

While your description suggests otherwise, it sure looks like a RASS.

[Tony Maduro]

Hmmm. Partagas Serie D No. 4 on a bad day? The year, 2004?

[mkz]

Wild guess..........................

H. Upmann Connoisseur #1

Edit: Year... uh... 2006?

» I will post the tasting…..you tell me what cigar and a box year. Sounds

» fair

Sounds like a cost cutting measure if you ask me, what next virtual boxes of cigars being sent to clients???

I can virtually tell its not a Siglo 1.

Youre a cynic Smith

I will post the answer shortly.

» Youre a cynic Smith

Hear me out though mate, you would become businessman of the year if you could convince your clients to buy virtual cigars, hell it worked for all those dot.com companies in the early 2000s.
