Juan Lopez Seleccion #1

[Van55]

I bought a box of these a few years back and was very, very pleasantly surprised. I thought I either had one or two from the box left or had replaced the box, but I couldn't find either in my humidor to do a current review. Accordingly, in the spirit of Juan Lopez review week, I will submit this review from memory.

First off, please refer to my review of the ENE06 Juan Lopez Seleccion #2 on this board. Almost everything I said there applies to the Seleccion #1, except that the #1 is a Corona Gorda, rather than a Robusto. Also I never encountered an underfilling other construction issue with any of the #1 in the box, and I found more woody undertones than citrus. If anything, I slightly prefer the #1 over the underrated #2.

The Juan Lopez #1 is a solid 4 Smoke Ring cigar. I need to send Lisa an email.....
