Decent smoke but some sticks need a bit of massaging to loosen up the draw. Flavor and aroma is good throughout though the Macanudos shine in their consistency. The ash on several of these does what it wants; I've had a few that were razor sharp but also some that mushroomed out and/or fell every 3/4. As I'm typing this on my phone I just lost the lower half of the 1 long ash. I guess that goes with the territory when using long filler clippings though. Bit longer than their Name Brand brethren. Put a few in my long-term aging humidor to see how they mature.

If you like mild cigars you'll like this one. It's slightly stronger than a Casa Blanca but miler than a Don Diego. Construction is nice and firm and the draw is easy producing a lot of smoke. Has sweet tones and is a good choice if you like a smooth mild cigar for a first cigar of the day. Taste is similar to the real thing but milder.

Decent smoke but some sticks need a bit of massaging to loosen up the draw. Flavor and aroma is good throughout though the Macanudos shine in their consistency. The ash on several of these does what it wants; I've had a few that were razor sharp but also some that mushroomed out and/or fell every 3/4. As I'm typing this on my phone I just lost the lower half of the 1 long ash. I guess that goes with the territory when using long filler clippings though. Bit longer than their Name Brand brethren. Put a few in my long-term aging humidor to see how they mature.

I have had many bundles of the Hyde Park Alternative. I have 3 or 4 bundles right now. I've also had the Macanudo Hyde Park (the actual cigar) many times. Here's what I'll say. The original is much more consistent. The alternative is DELICIOUS AND AFFORDABLE! Creamy, sweet, almost sort of like the Macanudo, but closer to a baccarat without answeetened tip. Just a great budget smoke that is well worth a try. Consistency can be an issue, but at this price WHO CARES?!?!?!
Just buy a 5 pack. Trust the reviews. You're getting a great stick at a phenomenal price.

I'm a fan of JR Alternatives for an everyday smoke, but they can be hit or miss. Even when you find a good one, sometimes the batch can be inconsistent. Can't say that about the Macanudo Hyde Park alternatives. I can't say enough good things about them. Great flavor, well constructed, and incredibly consistent across the board. Of course you're getting what you pay for (don't expect these to hold up against the real things), but for the price, I haven't found another cigar that can compete with these. These are a MUST TRY! Trust me, you'll be back.

Tried these for the 1st time as an "alternative" to Macanudos. While the flavor isn't bad, you can't keep them lit. They are more work than they are worth. You can't sit back and enjoy them because you are constantly fighting to keep them lit or re-lighting them. Wish I could return the rest of the bundle because they are horrible.

I bought these expecting them to taste similar in comparison to what they're formulated to be. Expectation Blown Away! So far from the half bundle i've smoked they're as good if not better than Macanudo hyde park! All of the construction has been flawless, the burn nice, slow, and flavorful. If this continues i'll have no need to spend the extra cash for the originals. Definitely unequivalently Worth It! ;)

The JR Alternative to the Macanudo Hyde Park cigars are not overruns or factory seconds, but rather they are first rate premium cigars made to mimic the character and taste of their original counterparts. These top-notch cigars are made using the same or similar premium tobacco as the original blends, and many times they are made in the same factory. The difference being, is that we pay for the packaging, marketing, and advertising, thus cutting out the middleman, and passing the savings onto you. They've been our bestselling cigars by far, for over 50- years, and standout as a first in the industry that has never been copied. Order a bundle of 20 from JR Cigar today, and enjoy those legendary Macanudo Hyde Park flavors for a very wallet-friendly price.
