Most cigar brands you see today are made for the international and U.S market. Juan Lopez cigars were not. The brand has been around since the 19th century. Over the years, this Cuban marque has won an almost quiet cult-like following thanks to its rich complexity and exclusivity. Altadis USA got the naming rights and introduced its own non-Cuban, Nicaraguan-made version in 2013, the brand didn’t make noise with the U.S market despite its critical and commercial success. While brands like the non-Cuban Montecristo or Cohiba have become household names in the states, Juan Lopez has stayed mostly off people’s radars. This private label release aims to change that. Working with Hostos Fernandez, formerly of Quesada, this Dominican edition brings those traditional profiles to American smokers. What does that mean for you? You’re getting a cigar that reflects decades of blending knowledge. It’s made by expert blenders who understands what makes a Cuban-like cigar amazing and also what the modern smoker wants from their cigars. With the latest Juan Lopez release, you’ll get to experience the best of both.
