Which Juan Lopez

[Hot_Sauce]

Have been thinking about trying some Juan Lopez for a change of pace and haven't smoked any in a while. So I'm just curious as to which J-Lo that you would recomend?

#2's seem to need 5+ years. #1's good young. IMHO

Very generous of you Justin:clap:

We'll have to get some more blind reviews going soon I've always enjoyed them as well.


Keep the comments coming everyone

I think the #2s are worth the wait, a few years and they are wonderful. Might not be the choice if you want to smoke them now, though.

Depends on your personal size preference, personally I like the Petit Corona. They are all the same blend.

I find flavor differences in the different vitolas. The ratio of wrapper to binder and filler in different RG vitolas would account for these flavor differences, even if it were true that they were the "same blend".

FWIW, I'm smoking an '05 JL #2 right now that is wonderful.

Love the #2s! Haven't tried the others though.

 

[AlohaStyle]

Kirk, this is exactly my next choice...

I loved the last #2 I had which was a couple years old but I need more CG's in my stock so I will probably go with both anyway! LOL

The JL2s are interesting creatures. Strong but creamy. I like the #1 purely due to size.

There is also an interview with Hamlet where he states the wrapper accounts for approx 20% of variance in flavors.

Hamlet knows his stuff. :smile:

Usually I like the smaller ring guage but in the Juan Lopez case I like the #2 robusto. My 08's were awesome and had a wine/fruit flavors to them..great and unique cigar and albeit gone. I have a box of 2011s and while not as pleasurable as the 08 they still are very good...I say go with #2.

I prefer the No. 1 myself but soley based on size. I don't care for robos. Also love the PC as well.

 

[Bass man]

Not a big JL fan, but do like the PCs & keep a box around for a change of pace from my usual Bolivar, Montecristo & Cohiba favorites.

Wish there was an option for none. I dont like this marca and do not recommened it.

I have a full box from 2004, might be time to spark one up!
