Juan Lopez Petite Corona BRS JUL 13 (DDRW)

[BeerPimp]

I ended up with 3 of these through a trade with @Stump89.  I started a thread talking about looking for cigars with a floral notes and it was mentioned that JLPC have some of that.   I smoked some NC Hoyo Maduro that had intense floral smell/notes many years ago and was wondering if there was some CC that had similar smell/notes.   I decided to try paring some Bourbon Creme with this cigar.

 

First Third: Right after cutting it the wrapper on near the cap split a little but it was never an issue.  Out of the gate I got some tea and tobacco notes.

 

Second Third:  I get mainly tobacco and small amount of coffee.

 

Final Third: I am mostly getting just getting tobacco notes.

 

I didn't really get much in the floral note department.   Petite Coronas are one of my favorite Vitolas.  It was a good cigar but it was very one dimensional.  I will give it a 89%.   The burn was very sharp and needed very few touch ups.  Not sure I like the way Bourbon Creme pairs with cigars.   I will switch back to regular bourbon next time.
