As others have said JL 2 needs aging, lots of aging! If someone says you can smoke them young, you can smoke them old, they’re in the cigar business 👻 For me JL 2 is one of the most age worthy/necessary cigars Cuba produces.  If you don’t get a nice big mouth full of Cointreau when you puff on them they’re not ready. Forget about them for a fewwwwwww years. If your tasting black pepper it sounds like you have some monsters. When they blossom you should have some amazing cigars, until they do they’re not much fun to smoke.  If you don’t like orange juice or are allergic to citrus they may not be your brand.

I had 3 boxes of 08 JL2. Put one away and cracked open in 2018. Amazing cigars.

I've got some 2019s that are lights out.  All candy, bubble gum. Black pepper?  Never got that from any JL; never got that from any CC.
