Shenfield W**e Co. cigar of the Week: Juan Lopez Selección No. 2. 🔥
This is a bit of a hidden gem in the world of Cuban ci**rs, but one that's earned itself a loyal following amongst Havana aficionados! Founded in the 1870s by Spanish businessman Juan Lopez Diaz, the Juan Lopez brand might not be as widely recognised as some of its Cuban counterparts, but it's certainly one worth getting to know.
The Selección No. 2 is the star of the range, and for good reason. This handmade Robusto delivers a wonderfully rich, medium to full-bodied smoke, with plenty of warming spice, dark chocolate notes and that unmistakable Cuban earthiness.
What would we pair it with? We'd suggest a well-aged rum, ideally something with notes of vanilla, caramel and oak to complement the cigar's chocolatey richness and spice. Alternatively, a good aged Cognac would make a rather lovely companion!
