JFR Lunatic JR 50th Anniversary

On Thursday, April 29th, we at JR released another iteration of the celebratory 50th-anniversary cigars releasing this year. This time we teamed up with Aganorsa Leaf and their VP Terence Reilly to create the JFR Lunatic JR 50th Anniversary cigar. The video above is an interview between our very own Nick Libretti and Terence Reilly as they discuss the process of making the JFR Lunatic JR 50th Anniversary.

“Just for Retail” or JFR for short is one of Aganorsa’s most popular lines within the company. When the JFR Lunatic came out in 2014, the company’s main focus was to only have big ring gauges. Some of the cigars in this line are rolled as thick as 80 ring gauge.

The JFR Lunatic JR 50th Anniversary takes the best qualities from the JFR Lunatic and Lunatic Torch. The look of the foot on the JFR Lunatic JR 50th Anniversary has a half-inch of the cigar without a wrapper. This was in order for you to taste the delicious flavor notes the binder and filler provide. Terence confidently said when the JFR Lunatic came out that it was “The best value you can have in a cigar as well as a top 10 cigar of the year in any Robusto size”.

Although the JFR has some of the thickest ring gauges in the industry, oddly enough, the JFR Lunatic JR 50th Anniversary happens to be the company’s smallest ring gauge they ever created. This 6 x 46 medium-bodied smoke is cloaked in an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, with Nicaraguan tobaccos that make up the binder and filler.

Terence also stated that one of the most fun parts of his job as the VP for Aganorsa is being able to educate his consumers. Reilly stated, Without education, the novice cigar consumer may have a tough time picking a cigar once walking into a humidor.

The JFR Lunatic JR 50th Anniversary is offered in a 10-count box and available in one size: 46 X 6 Toro. This is one of the most limited releases under the 50th umbrella we have. Only 250 boxes were made for this project. Priced at $9 per cigar & $81 per box. The JFR Lunatic JR 50th Anniversary is now available, only at JR Cigars.
