Presentation
Juan Lopez Seleccion No. 2– 25 cigar comes in a Sliding Lid Box (SLB) of cedar with Habanos Packing Code SLB-UW-GPSR-M-n-25
Dimensions:
Length: 124 mm
Diameter: 19.85 mm
Ring gauge: 50
Shape: Robusto
Appearance:
The Seleccion No.2 is a well presented cigar. It has a smooth reddish brown wrapper with a few soft veins. The wrapper seems to be nice and thin, and silky smooth. It has a nice loose bunch and feels spongy on its whole length. The triple cap is rounded and well applied.
Smoking Notes:
Before lighting up
There are strong aromas of cedar and earth as expected from its’ spongy feel. It leaves saltiness on the lips.
Burn/ Draw
In the beginning the cigar delivers a great amount of thick white smoke with a long roasted nut finish. The draw is easy and smooth; the ash is grey and flaky and stays on the cigar for the first third.
Initial third:
On the first draw the cigar has the flavor of hot pepper, which gradually disappears, leaving a taste of moss, grass and earth, and a medium to full body.
Middle third:
During the second third the No.2 turns sweeter with mango and pineapple and floral flavors joining the mix.
Final third:
Finishes off with a taste of earth and roasted nuts.
In summary, this is an amazing cigar that is practically unknown for the masses - a real dark horse in the humidor.
Smoking time:
45 - 90 Minutes

Good Smoke
, 2/13/2020
By Stan -
I liked this cigar, but was honestly a little disappointed with the smoke compared to the pre-light draw and aroma. There is a really cool funk, dank aroma this cigar has before lighting that had me salivating. Unfortunately, they have not so far lived up to that after firing them up.
To be fair, they are a good smoke and have good tobacco and leather flavors, but they do not measure up to the unlit aroma for me. I like the salty dankness my Hoyo Epi 2 have after a couple months resting in the humidor, maybe these will develop over time. If they do, this will be a SPECTACULAR smoke for the money...I'll update if they do. -
Top 5 IMO
, 10/6/2019
By Antonio - In looking at my order history, this is the most frequently ordered smoke and with good reason. It is extremely smooth, the aroma coming off of this cigar makes you wish you could purchase a cologne. It's very reliable so it smokes consistently well, maybe... maybe have had one tight rolled out of a hundred or so. Must have in my opinion.

Cuban Masterpiece

By Huáscar - Powerful cigar in the line of the Partagas D4, smoke well balanced with great evolution in all thirds, a Cuban masterpiece.

Woody cigar

By Lucas - This is the best woody cigar I ever tried. In my opinion, this is better than Romeo y Julieta Short or Wild Churchill. Must buy!

Good Draw and Flavor
, 7/17/2017
By Mark - Got this as part of the sampler and smoked this one within 3 days of arrival. Had some burn issues but draw and flavor was pretty good. Not as smooth and creamy as the Partagas but pretty good for the price. I will let my other cigar from the sampler settle in the humi for another week before I make my final decision on this cigar. Thank you again Cigar Terminal.
