Macanudo Hyde ParkDecent 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.451

Macanudo Hyde ParkGood smoke. Close to the original Hyde Park. Smooth and mild. A little harsh towards the finish but still good. Only on my third smoke and all burned very well no issues.451

Macanudo Hyde ParkThis tasted like crap. I tried them on four separate occasions each time crushing it out after about an inch of burn. They are disgusting. I thought about giving them to the bums that panhandle in our town but I they're not good enough for even a bum. I threw them all away.451

Macanudo Hyde ParkThis stick is very close to the original. It has a nice draw consistent flavor throughout mellow with a nice creamy finish. It is not as complex as the real thing but very nice none the less451

Macanudo Hyde ParkIf 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.451

Macanudo Hyde ParkSomething evil has happened to my beloved JR Alternatives. After being repeatedly disappointed by the poor draw and inability to keep them lit I'm done. Too bad they were very good cigars for many years. Shame on the JR cost cutters!151

Macanudo Hyde ParkVery comparable to the actual product. Smooth draw and nice smoke. Mellow flavor with cooler smoke in the start but ends up a little hot towards the end. Pretty consistent as much as the real deal.451

Macanudo Hyde ParkThis is the second pack of these that I purchased and they are consistently good every day cigars - again the kind I can share with my seasoned smoker friends and those who know nothing about them and they are both happy with the experience.
These cigars are even good to gnaw on while sitting inside with a leafy taste and pepper highlights. This one is wrapped tight but still has an easy draw.451
July 8, 2015
Marc D.
Macanudo Hyde Parkgood smoke for the value definitely skews more medium than mild
no issues with draw or wrapper worth a try if you are looking for some summer value451

Macanudo Hyde ParkI 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.451

Based on the reviews? These may be inconsistent.
Get them busted up into 5 Packs?
You’ll sell a whole lot more to people, like me, who are willing to try them.351

Ronnie M.
Macanudo Hyde ParkI'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.551
May 31, 2021
Nate B.
Macanudo Hyde ParkTried 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.151
June 5, 2021

Macanudo Hyde ParkOne of the worst smokes I have ever had. Mediocre flavor and awful burn and construction. No wonder they are so cheap. Complete garbage151

Macanudo Hyde ParkFirst out of the bundle didn’t burn correctly. Outer wrapper didn’t burn. Second out of the bundle was great. Third out of the bundle didn’t burn evenly. I’ll stay optimistic.351
June 24, 2021
D. S.
Macanudo Hyde ParkI 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! ;)551
June 25, 2021
Bud P.
Macanudo Hyde ParkTried them out on a whim and glad I did . The taste and construction is excellent . Sometimes a little hard to keep lit . Longer time in my humidor usually cures that . I will be smoking them as long as they remain consistent .451

Macanudo Hyde ParkOutstanding value cigar. Has great flavor , smokes smooth and is a pleasure to smoke.551
August 13, 2021
Robert A.
Macanudo Hyde ParkI continue to buy the Hyde Park because of its flavor and reasonable cost. I am disappointed at times because of the construction. I assume these are machine made and frequently the "axis" is not wrapped tightly resulting in a poor smoke. Additionally I frequently find tobacco stems included in the cigar. These do not burn evenly. I would say that 50 to 60 percent of a pack burns as it should; the remainder have issues.351

Macanudo Hyde ParkFlavor, burn, value. Check, check, check. I still have 8 Hyde Parks in my humidor, along with a bunch of Punch Pitas, both aged, the original band, and 10 or so pretty new. But I love a decent, inexpensive smoke, and this fake Macanudo hits the spot. My only issue is is construction, which is insufficiently solid, especially around the cap, which required a lower cut than usual because the cap area was so spongy. But I'm only docking this a star and I'm rating it as an alternative, not as the real deal, which would cost it another star. If the remaining 16 are as good as the first four, I'll be as happy as a pig in...well, you know...451

Macanudo Hyde ParkI was and emphasize the word was a long time customer at Thompson Cigar. I was reviewing your website because I was about ready to order from Thompson when I just had a notion to try JR. Now I can't afford a true Macanudo cigar I would try the one with the JR label. It was by far the BEST Cigar I have had in a very long time. I will be a repeat customer for sure. They are a smooth, trouble free burn cigar which I enjoy on the weekend with my favorite brew.551

Macanudo Hyde ParkI like smooth, mild / medium cigars. I’ve always liked Macanudo. These are as close to the original as I’ve experienced. The value cannot be overstated, there’s no way I’m spending $12 a stick when I can get a bundle of 20 for the price of 4 of the original at a store. It’ll be hard to get me off these.551

Macanudo Hyde ParkI like them just fine and will continue to smoke them regularly. I dissected one very carefully, and can verify that this is a true 'long filler' cigar... not a ‘sandwich’ of chopped tobacco. It is comprised of 7 or 8 whole leaves with a small amount of tightly compressed large pieces at the core.
I can't speak on the rest of the J.R. Alternatives, but I can assure you the Macanudo Hyde Park is truly a premium cigar just as the description says.551
