Juan López

The composition of the cigars is limited to tobacco leaves grown in the La Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba. This specificity contributes to Juan Lopez's status as a top-of-the-range brand. Thanks to the quality of its Habanos combined with affordable prices, within just a few years of its creation, the brand had won over the public and reached the pinnacle of notoriety. It maintained this position until the Cuban revolution. From then on, its popularity went into relative decline. The brand was only really successful with a handful of enthusiasts. As a result, Habanos S.A. ranks it Media Bajo in its pyramid. Juan Lopez rebounded in the 1990s with the launch of two new vitolas. The introduction of the Selección No. 1 and Selección No. 2 cigars to his catalog enabled him to win back the hearts of a wider public.

Specific features of vitolas Torcedores make Juan Lopez cigars by hand. These are long-filler cigars that easily tame the palate of light Cuban cigar aficionados. The brand's creations are appreciated by novices and long-time smokers alike. The vitolas are marketed in limited volumes and are therefore quickly sold out. This strategy had the effect of increasing the brand's popularity, as supply was not sufficient to satisfy demand. Juan Lopez cigars thus appear to be rare products.

Catalog Juan Lopez specializes in 4 modules, each corresponding to a specific vitola. The Petit Corona is represented by the Juan Lopez Petit Coronas cigar. The Corona Gorda module is carried by the Selección No. 2 cigar. The Selección No. 1 cigar features a Robusto module. Finally, the Juan Lopez Panetelas Superbas features a Panatella module.

Premium tobacco The soil in Vuelta Abajo is rich in minerals. It's also a particularly sunny place. The sun provides powerful heat and light for up to 8 hours a day. Added to this is a level of humidity much appreciated by tobacco plants. All the right conditions are in place to produce top-quality tobacco. A cigar made from a blend of Vuelta Abajo tobaccos is naturally admired for its superiority. Such is the case with creations bearing Juan Lopez's rings.
