The Juan López Chiado 1864 Edición Regional Portugal is a compact Petit Robusto, measuring 4 inches in length and 50 ring gauge, made entirely from Cuban tobacco from the renowned Vuelta Abaja region. The wrapper, with its dark chocolate hue, is characterized by a smooth texture and a subtle sheen, and the cigar boasts a firm draw, free from visible veins. As it is lit, the cigar yields a velvety smoke, presenting an initial bouquet of hay and roasted peanuts, accompanied by underlying notes of rich espresso, oak, and a rustic barnyard character, all rounded out by hints of sweet milk chocolate. As the smoke evolves, the profile becomes increasingly creamy, with cedar nuances emerging, while the core flavors of salted peanuts and hay remain prominent, interspersed with occasional whiffs of leather, coffee, earthy undertones, and toasted bread. The cigar's construction is impeccable, providing a silky draw, although the burn can be somewhat uneven, necessitating the occasional touch-up to maintain a perfect ash. Throughout the experience, the strength remains steadfastly medium, delivering a harmonious and pleasurable smoke.
