Storage Instructions
For the Juan López Selección No. 1 (25) maintain stable humidification in a well seasoned humidor. Aim for 68-70% relative humidity and a temperature near 68-70ºF (20-21ºC) to preserve the wrapper elasticity and the cigar’s Cuban character. Use a reliable, calibrated hygrometer and a cedar lined humidor when possible, as Spanish cedar helps maintain moisture and supports proper aging. Keep the cigars in their original box or on a cedar shelf, avoiding direct sunlight, strong odors and large temperature or humidity swings. For short term transport or travel, place individual sticks in a portable humidor or use two way humidity packs rated for 68-72% RH. When bringing a new humidor into service, fully season it before introducing your Juan López Selección No. 1 (25) to prevent uneven moisture exchange.
Care Tips
Handle each Juan López Selección No. 1 (25) with clean hands and avoid squeezing the cigar to protect the wrapper and inner filler. Rotate boxes gently every few weeks so moisture distributes evenly and to prevent flat spots from forming. Newly purchased cigars will smoke well immediately but benefit from a short rest of one to two weeks in your humidor to acclimate after shipping. For appreciable development of complexity, consider aging these Cuban puro cigars for six months to several years depending on your taste, checking periodically to ensure flavors remain vibrant. Maintain your humidor by topping up with distilled water or using two way packs and recalibrating your hygrometer as needed. Finally store cigars upright or stacked loosely so air can circulate and the wrappers stay intact.

Tasting Notes
The JUAN LOPEZ SELECCIÓN N1 (25) delivers a polished medium to medium‑full body, offering a harmonious interplay of refined earthiness and bright, savory spice. Opening draws present warm cedar and espresso, unfolding into layers of dark cocoa, toasted almond and a subtle leather backbone. A gentle black‑pepper spice builds on the retrohale before subsiding into a creamy, slightly sweet finish with a delicate floral lift. The wrapper emits rich aromas of toasted tobacco, baking spice and a whisper of cedar that lingers between puffs.
Pairing Suggestions
Aged Caribbean rum, its molasses sweetness and oak warmth mirror the cigar’s cocoa and spice while cutting through the smoke for a balanced interplay; Double espresso or ristretto, the concentrated roast accentuates the cigar’s coffee and bitter‑sweet chocolate notes and keeps the palate focused between draws; 70% dark chocolate or buttery pecan shortbread, dark chocolate amplifies the cigar’s cocoa and nutty accents, while a rich shortbread complements the creamy finish and softens the spice.
