About this cigar
Juan López Selección No. 1 — tasting notes and pricing context
Juan López is one of the older Habanos brands still in continuous production — founded in the 1870s and rolled at the Romeo y Julieta factory in Havana. The Selección No. 1 is the brand's flagship Corona at 5.6 inches by 42 ring, and it's the cigar most aficionados name when discussing accessible, mid-priced Cuban premiums. The blend sits between Hoyo de Monterrey and Punch in strength — not as gentle as the Le Hoyo line, not as forceful as Bolívar — and it's renowned for delivering a remarkable amount of complexity at a price that consistently undercuts Cohiba, Montecristo and Partagás.
The smoke opens with cedar and hay, drifts through a creamy honeyed middle, and finishes on coffee and a touch of toasted bread. Across Europe a box of 25 sits in the €355 to €440 range: Noblego runs around €375, LCDH Brussels €395, Cigarmust CHF 425 (~€445 after FX). One of the best-value comparison-shopping targets in the Cuban catalogue.
