Awesome - but not always consistently awesome
LawyerBoy on 04/19/17
Great smoke. My daily go to. However, occasionally I get a box where most of them taste horrible, like there is something wrong with them. Super annoying, so I'm rating "consistency" as a 3 star. Otherwise, I would have given 5 stars all the way around.

Almost a Cuban, try these!
MattyMatt on 08/24/17
This is a very good stick. I bought a bundle when they were on sale and couldn't be happier. Great construction, draw and burn. I haven't had a real Cuban Monte No 2, only Edmundos and a No 3 so don't have a reference but gave one to a friend who smokes more Cubans than than not and he was also impressed. He said it was very good and very similar to the real thing. In the past I shared some JR edicion limatada edmundos and did not get the same response. Nice cocoa and pepper on the retrohale is what impressed me most. I have smoked about 12 of these and they are super consistent. Buying more soon! Way to go JR!

A Great Everyday
Dave ONeill on 08/19/17
Have liked this product for a few years. I keep it in stock in it's own humidor. Though not entirely consistent, most bundles received perform as expected. A Medium to Full Strength (more on the medium side) cigar with a nice rich aroma and flavor. If I smoke it too fast / hot I loose the benefits and it can be somewhat harsh and flavorless. A great everyday at under $2.25 a stick with a nice easy draw, generally even burn and a rather consistent construction.

Close to the real deal...
Keberch on 07/08/17
It's surprisingly close to a Havana MC #2. It's a bit milder, and smokes a bit faster, but if you close your eyes and enjoy, you can get pretty damned happy with a $2 stick that "comes close" to a $15 stick.

HMMM, NOT SO SURE - UPDATE
4 Krusin on 04/25/17
After writing a less than fair review above, I found that the humidistat in my humidor wasn't working properly. Now that the humidity is correct, I have rerated these and find that I am quite satisfied with them. I will buy them again.

My NEW daily, Go-To Cigar
Hatchetman1314 on 10/18/17
I lit my first one up before the delivery truck left my driveway and all since have been consistently perfect. It burned perfectly. Smooth draw. Billowing rich cloud of smoke. Medium bodied with distinctive flavors that gain in complexity as it smokes down to your fingertips. The flavors are not 'exactly' like a Cuban #2, which is more Full bodied and wrapped tightly, like all good Cubans. The JR #2 has NOW replaced the Ramon Allones Heritage 652 as my daily and go-to cigar. $4.27 vs $2.19 Winner Winner JR Cuban Alternative after Dinner. :-)

Delicious # 2
Bean on 05/19/17
Darker in appearance than the picture but I must say MC #2 was better than I thought,nice smooth cool draw,notes of coffee light spice and cocoa and wood to finish the palate,the burn never went out,let these stay in the humidor for 2 weeks and gets even better
