One of the best "share with your friends" sticks on the list. Perfect for the short smoke after dinner on the patio by the pool listening to some good tunes

Great alternative

Gardog44 on 05/24/15

My favorite cigar has always been the Montecristo #2. The JR alternative is a great cigar considering that it's several bucks cheaper than the Montecristo.

Good buy

Jallan on 06/12/15

JR'S alternatives are always a good buy. You get the almost same smoke as the name brand but at a fraction of the price.

Exceptional.

GregC on 06/24/15

This is a fantastic cigar. Over the past twenty years I have tried to find a tried so many "value" cigars for a daily smoker and results always varied. Now I am extremely pleased with all of the JR Alternitives. This cigar pairs very well with hazelnut coffee in the morning and also pairs well with Glenlivet 15 year French oak scotch after a good grilled meal. These age and marry well in a seasoned humidor. Construction, draw and flavors are beyond expetations for the price.

Good one.

Pezgallo on 05/29/15

A great way to try new cigars is to throw out a few bids at the auction. That is how I got these Monte alternatives. Very good cigar. Some flavors here you rarely get for this price. Don't believe me? Take the wrapper off and let an old guy smoke it. He will tell you it is damn good. Anybody under 30 will like it until you tell them what it is. Never tell them what it is. They can't handle it.

My favorite JR Alternative!

RMyrvold on 09/02/15

This is my overall favorite Jr Alternative smoke. I think I have smoked about a dozen bundles of this cigar and they all have been good, They all have had great construction, very consistent. excellent draw and good flavor. I have decided to make this my everyday smoke because it is tasty, dependable and affordable.

I've smoked probably over a hundred of these cigars and I really enjoy them. Every now and then one may burn uneven but otherwise, they hold up well and taste really good

JR Alternative Cuban

rjonsutton on 08/02/15

JR Alternative Cuban nice and mild. Occasional wrapper came loose. Easy to light and stayed lit. Burned relatively evenly. These paired well with cinnamon flavored bourbon.

Very good cigar

Slomo928 on 08/17/15

This cigar is consistently well made and draws clean and smooth. Although I still by "brand name" cigars from time to time. This is the cigar that stocks my humidor all the time.

Great smoke at a great price. Fast delivery as always from JR. Enjoyable anytime from breakfast coffee to after dinner. Always comes through with easy draw and smooth on the palate. Could be my new everyday smoker.
