I decided to give Juan Lopez cigars another try. Right now I'm smoking the one that was reviewed earlier this year. I think it got a 90 or better. I smoked one previously and thought it was awful.
Upon further review, the taste is very earthy and spicy with a sweet finish. It reminds me of a slightly higher quality and sweeter Padron Fuma. The burn is absolutely horrible- tunneling and uneven burns despite rotating the cigar. Appearance is a lovely dark brown and square pressed.
Started today with a JDN Celebration robusto, very, very nice cigar with just tons of tobacco packed in this sucker, can't wait to smoke the torps that pmp sent...

Did a change up this morning with breakfast and coffee and had a Mag46 instead of my usual Nat Sherman Hampton. This afternoon started the race with a Oliva "X" Tabu, and now getting ready to light up a CAO Brazilia Gol...more to come later

Watching the race wtih a Juan Lopez Epicure No. 1. It will be my last one of those. I hated it. Didn't seem to have much in the way of flavor, very boring. YUCK! I'll have another Torano later today to make up for it.

This morning I had a Cruz Real #24. Mild smoke without much flavors. My uncle gave me a box of these and they are not one that I would buy a box of but I'm not going to let them go to waste. Tonight I had a Cuesta-Rey Centenario #11 Belicoso. Another mild smoke with better flavoring and a flawless burn. This had a fragrant aroma while burning. I have to say I think these have one of the more artistic bands. Not that they are that important but nice to look at while enjoying the smoke. My first 2 cigar day. I am new again to cigars, this time with more appreciation for their complexity and flavors. I am starting to figure out that I prefer the Cameroon and Maduro wrapped cigars a little more than the others.

I had a wonderfully oily 1066 Dark Knight while grilling burgers for lunch. Tonight a Perdomo Reserve Cameroon X with the Sunday crossword. I actually finished the puzzle before the cigar for a change.
