Storage Instructions
For JUAN LOPEZ SELECCIÓN N2 (25) store the cigars in a well calibrated humidor set between 68 and 70% relative humidity and at a stable temperature of 65ºF to 70ºF (18ºC to 21ºC). This cigar benefits from steady conditions because it is a Cuban puro with the classic Cuban wrapper and internal blend. Place the box or individual sticks away from direct sunlight and strong temperature swings. If you do not have a full sized humidor use a travel humidor or a sealed container with a quality two way humidity pack rated for 68 or 69% to maintain proper moisture. Line the humidor with Spanish cedar if possible to support even humidity and slow flavor development. Avoid refrigeration or freezing which will damage oils and flavors.
Care Tips
Handle JUAN LOPEZ SELECCIÓN N2 (25) by the body or by the band to protect the wrapper. Use a sharp straight cutter or a V cutter for a clean draw and toast the foot gently before lighting to avoid cracking the wrapper. If you receive cigars that feel slightly dry let them acclimate slowly in your humidor for two to four weeks before smoking to restore oils and balance. These cigars respond well to aging so consider aging them for six months to two years if you prefer more complexity. Rotate the box occasionally to ensure even humidity and keep the humidor closed as much as possible to maintain stable conditions. When in doubt rehydrate gradually rather than rushing the process to preserve wrapper integrity and the intended flavor profile.

Tasting Notes
The JUAN LOPEZ SELECCIÓN N2 (25) delivers a refined, medium-bodied experience that unfolds with classic Cuban elegance. Initial draws reveal warm cedar and smooth leather, layered with dark cocoa and toasted almond notes that develop into a subtle white‑pepper spice on the retrohale. A gentle, honeyed sweetness balances the savory elements, while an underlying earthy minerality and faint floral aroma linger on the finish. Overall the smoke is silky and well‑balanced, offering complexity without overpowering the palate.
Pairing Suggestions
Aged añejo rum, the caramel, vanilla and toasted oak of a well‑matured rum echoes the cigar’s cocoa and cedar tones and amplifies its sweet, nutty nuances. Ristretto or espresso, a concentrated espresso cuts through the cigar’s richness and complements its bitter‑sweet dark chocolate and roast notes, sharpening the peppery finish. 70% dark chocolate, the chocolate’s bitter cocoa complements the cigar’s dark-cocoa and almond flavors while its texture mirrors the cigar’s smooth, lingering finish.
