Selección No.2

Selección No.2

  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Robusto
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 4 ⅞ Inches / 124mm
  • As Robustos rule these days, it is hardly surprising that the Selección No.2 is the star size in this brand. Plenty of spicy and chocolaty notes combine with a classic Cuban earthiness.
Read About Juan López

A Spanish businessman named Juan Lopez Diaz founded his eponymous brand in the 1870’s.

Although little known around the world today, Juan Lopez has always attracted a following amongst aficionados of Havanas, most notably for the Selección No.2 size.

The brand offers a consistent medium to full flavour based on a rich blend of filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone and both sizes are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade.
