Not a bad stick for the money

Certainly not a bad stick for the price point, but there are better JR Alternatives available. These are rolled well, have a good draw and burn evenly. The only downside is that they lack a bit in the flavor department, but I suppose that is subjective.

These are really good.

The bundle I got had no cigars with construction issues. They draw and burn well with lots of creamy smoke. They seem to be more Mild/Medium than Medium/Full though. The first few I smoked were smooth and consistent to the end. The last few have been bitter at first then mellowing out by 1/2 way. I have smoked 10 already and decided to let the other 10 age, wrapped in Spanish cedar, in my humidor in hopes of losing the bitter taste. I will likely buy these again and will recommend them to friends.

Decent/okay, but overall, not that good.

This is a very mild cigar; further, the lack of consistency of the roll is the biggest issue; i.e., within the bundle, there will be 3-4 (at least) stogies that are non-smokable due to the poor rolling. However, using a poke will help in the draw, but I will not order these again. Not to mention, they tastes nothing like or close to a Cubano cigar that is is supposed to be like.

Fire it up!

This has been my "Go To" cigar for years. Very consistent in flavor and drool factor. I have compared to MC Number 1 and found little difference. The burn is even. Draw is better with a plug cut vs a notch, but that is expected with any smoke. Never had a runner as you might expect from a cheap cigar.
