This morning, having finished my patrols early to give myself an hour, i got stuck in to a Juan Lopez Seleccion No 2. I nearly gave in half way through the night, but remembered Simons recent review, and how he mentioned to set aside time to enjoy the experience; I'm glad i took his advice.
I have to say, I agreed with your review completely Simon. It was your review that made me pick this out tonight so I could compare notes. Wonderful cigar, lovely flavors and a splendid aroma. The only trouble i had was with occasional uneven burning, but it wasn't troublesome enough to dent my feeling on the cigar. The only thing I had trouble with is that i was getting notes in the aroma of honey in the last 3rd, which i had not seen mentioned in reviews. I don't know if this is my lack of experience, but it was a subtly different sweetness to the caramel which I had also picked up. Very pleasant though.
I am now thinking of how to justify spending the cash on a box of these to add a little age to. I can afford to, but need to be a little careful this month as my company has been eaten by a bigger company which will affect my pay date!
