How was the complexity of flavours?
Complex

This was a great smoke! Upon lighting it, I immediately noticed flavors of coffee, chocolate and cedar, which continued through the first 3rd of the smoke. As I got to the 2nd third, it changed to a very chocolatey flavor, and continued so till the end. Very nice flavors, very complex, and kept me on my toes. I plan to buy at least one box!

Very GOOD cigar, well worth the $$ if buying by the box. Box price was about $90.00/25 Excellent cigar. Not sure on the age, as it was gifted to me, but I will find out. Great smoke, and I recommend picking a few up!

I believe so Wingo.. Either way, they are DANG good.. And at box price that makes them about $3.60/stick.. Not damn bad.

These Juan Lopez Belicoso's I recieved a few months back in a Famous Cigar's auction,cheap!
20/box I believe.No date on the box so I do not know how old they are but I have a shop here where they do not sell well and have about 2yrs on them and are waaaay better.

Good cigar imo.

Glad you enjoyed it Scott.

I think CA rated these pretty high at one point. I have a box of Epicure No. 1's in my Humi but I haven't smoked one from the box yet.

I did smoke one a while back at the B&M and thought it was good. I remember that chocolatey taste.
