Juan López Selección 1. My last stick from a cab dated 2013. I know the number 2 gets more love, but I actually like this one better. Not too bad when fresh but even better with some years on it.

Greetings, fellow youths!

A rich, easy drawing HQ Fundadores from AEM MAR 15 alongside a cup of black coffee, and a cooling breeze.  Hope you are all doing well.

Juan López Selección No.2 (circa 2016)

The Juan Lopez Seleccion No.2 has enjoyed a revival on our forum in the past few years. I've tried a number over the years and I consistently find them more desirable with age on them. When young, I tend to find that they dominate in toasted tobacco and coffee notes; as they age, the orange citrus and chocolate notes within the cigar tend to come to the fore.

This JLS2, from circa 2016, was generously gifted to me by @Luca (thank you). It had that typical Juan Lopez toasted tobacco and espresso coffee core, but it was a lot milder than a youthful JLS2 and the orange citrus really shone in this cigar, which made it memorable for me. Surprisingly, I didn't really register chocolate with this cigar this time round.

I'm still aging my Juan Lopez Seleccion No.2 box from December 2016. I have two-thirds of the box left and I aim to smoke my next one in a few months time, just to see how they are coming along.

How does it stack up in flavor to a 2016 JL1?

I'd have to defer to other members on this one as I haven't smoked a 2016 JL1 recently.

2016-17 was a bit of an uptick for JL1 and it's carried right on through to 2020. 

I find JL2's to be a very generous, and flavourful, but ultimately quite a simple cigar.  Full of that choc-orange character, but (for me at least) it strums that chord over and over, with little variation.      The JL1 possesses everything a JL2 has, but also brings in cream, and tannic woods. and more strength.  It's got a bit of dirty funk to it as well, and challenging.   Where as I would classify the JL2 to be a dessert cigar,   the JL1 is a bit more of an experience, and can sometimes knock you on your back with nicotine hit. 

They are smoking excellently, I really enjoy them as an after dinner smoke.

Saw a few post with these today and jogged my memory that I should also smoke one. Given out more than I've smoked, in fact thinking I haven't even actually gotten round to smoking any until tonight!?
Woody, creamy, sweet cigar. I love this elegant vitola, kind of forced me to slow down the pace.
Cheers, Happy Hump Day

Fantastic! Almost transcendental.  Very complex, smooth and lots of flavour variance.  For a cigar with such a humble band it really delivered the goods.  Wish I had more.
