Juan Lopez Seleccion No.2 Cigar – Single

The Juan Lopez Seleccion No.2 Cigar is a Cuban robusto measuring 4 7/8 inches in length with a 50-ring gauge. Handcrafted in the Vuelta Abajo region, it uses premium Cuban-seed tobacco for its filler, binder, and wrapper. The medium-bodied profile features a blend of cedar, roasted nuts, and sweet spices, transitioning to cocoa and dried fruit notes.

Construction and Performance

This cigar’s smooth, brown wrapper ensures an even burn and consistent draw. The triple-seam cap and tight roll quality minimize combustion issues. Its ash holds for approximately one inch before dropping, a hallmark of Cuban construction standards.
