Montecristo Edmundo 2nd time buyer. Even better than the first pack. For $2 a stick a great tasting stick will buy again when they are one sale. Ewst these they only get smoother with time. Premium taste at a cut rate. Very pleased. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Not great construction was spot on but not alot of flavor like it described it never came close to even medium body I wasn't happy because I thought if that tasted as good as it looked man that would be a great bundel deal. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo These cigars are one of the best values around. They often are on back order and for good reason. The tobacco used is quality tobacco and gives a great smoke. White ash full aroma. I do want to say if you are use to lighter smokes this isn’t for you if your a novice this Cigar will be too strong for you in my opinion. If your a Maduro fan for the price you can’t beat it . 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I have smoked 4 so far. I love this stick. I will keep this one in my humidor going forward. My new daily. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I'd give these one star on everything but that would be dishonest. These are amazing and I'd only give a bad review so others would not buy them and leave more for me. I can't wait to order more. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Started off slow but ramped up to a very good medium bodied smoke. Pleasantly surprised for a very inexpensive stick.. Try a 5 pack... 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I got 5 of these in a sampler pack and they may have been the best of the bunch. I see lots of reviews saying that they basically suck but my experience was different. I thought that they were pretty tasty and good uality smokes. I would try another 5 pack of these for sure. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is my go-to for my daily smoke for years. The value of the stick is normally amazing; however the draw on the lady batch I received is awful. I have to cut away most of the butt to get it to where it's manageable. I hope this is a one-off. 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I cannot compare this cigar to the Cuban Montecristo Edmundo as I have never had a Cuban Montecristo Edmundo . However I tried this cigar a long time back and at different times throughout the years and find it to be the most consistent in burn and flavor. I love the tight wrap along with the Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. I do not get the oily after taste that I get from other cigars. I recently ordered two bundles and they are as good as I remember. I see some complaints about the cigars needing to be put in the humidor to get them back in shape. The two bundles I just received were ready to smoke upon arrival. I was pleasantly surprised as I hate having to wait when I receive a new order of cigars! This is my go to every day cigar whether smoking while cutting the grass or sitting on the deck with a cold brew the cost makes this cigar one of my top choices! I have had an occasional tunneling occur but I have that occur with any brand of cigar I have purchased. This brand for me has not had any more issues than any other brand. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is NOT a good cigar. Harsh taste poor quality in build and inconsistent burn. I tried them and now I know NOT to try them again. 1 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Very nice cigar. Nice draw burn and the taste is Medium. Worth the try! 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo really good flavor nice body medium/strong love the size 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Edmundo! ! This stick is Awesome!! Spent 4 times as much for less. Now I spend 4 times less for more!! 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I found this to be an excellent smoke. Consistent burn and pull. Full flavored with no harsh or bitter aftertaste. Went great with my papa pillar rum as well as my 14yr Carribean cask balvienie. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo in April and again in September 2017 i submitted bad reviews wherein i wrote i would NEVER buy Monty-Eds again. after i reversed that action from April's statement and purchased again in September i again submitted a very negative review and wrote i would NEVER buy them again. i suppose since the Monty-Eds were so good for so long previously i recently tried them one more time. i am pleased to report that once again these cigars are very good remarkably so considering affordability. shame on JR for the very bad ones positive acclaim for the return to good quality. thank you. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I never had this before. But very disappointed in this cigar. Takes about 2 hours to smoke with all the relight or cuts. I find it bitter and think I will only be able to finish these cigars by cutting them in half. 1 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Very nice cigar...good draw...good flavor...Will buy again...Continue to enjoy this cigar on my back porch wilth nice stout watching the sun go down..😁 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Nice lots of flavor and smoke. Good construction and draw. Just the right size for me! Never had the Cuban version but I really liked this one. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I have been a loyal smoker of this Monty Edmundo blend for years and have been very happy...until this last order. The cigars have a nasty taste and seems like a totally different blend from what it was before. No longer the medium full bodied cigars they used to be. Will send these back. 1 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I stopped buying these about a year ago but recently tried them again. They have at least stayed consistent. They consistently tunnel and canoe. They consistently contain chunks of hot-burning non-smokable tobacco. They consistently are harsh and bad-tasting. They consistently require cutting and relighting. They do however make a good appearance but they are not pretty enough to warrant buying more ever. At one time these were my regular cigar but the quality is gone. I get the quality for which I pay. 1 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Pretty good medium bodied smoke... At the beginning even though the ash held in for dear life I had slight canoeing issues but definitely enjoyed it for the price.... 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo A very good cigar for the price! 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great stick for the price. Nice full bodied maduro that pulls well. The only constructive feedback is it canoes frequently. 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is a standby cigar to remind me of what good cigars were like 30 years ago. Always consistent excellent construction slow even burn rewarding taste and flavor. Unlike more expensive boutiques I've never been disappointed. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great cigar for the price my everyday smoker 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo An enjoyable smoke for the price (I wish the retail store had the same prices as the web page) I wasn't expecting what I got. Nice variety of flavors a little spice and great construction/burn. A winner! 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Wish it had a flavor would have been a great one. 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Liked so much I ordered more...suprised it smoked real nice..will by more of the JR label 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Have smoked cigars 30-plus years;JR customer 20 years easy. Monty Ed buyer for 10 at least. always pleased until last 2 bundles. extremely inconsistent. terribletight draws;unwrapping and splitting; nasty taste and very few even smokable. no more for me. 1 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Has a little bite iwhen you light it up keeps getting better the longer you smoke it 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great flavor nice even burn can't beat the price 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is a smooth smoke. The color is deceiving. Thought it would be be stronger and I may not like it. I was pleasantly surprised. Great price. I will buy again. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is a great smoke. Full of flavor and always consistent. It is one of my go to sticks. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This cigar second is a great smoke thanks Jr 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is a good cigar for the money. I have been smoking cigars for 25 years and like variety. This is one I keep on hand. I find this cigar very Cubanesque. I have had Cubans and this one is better than some not as good as others and equal to a few. I only gave it 4 stars because I have had a few that had a tight draw so draw and consistency are sometimes lacking but the flavor is usually there and for the money it is a good cigar. I have been smoking these for about 7-10 years and like I mentioned I keep some on hand at all times. I am a hard rater so to be a 5 star it needs to be outstanding. This is a solid 4. Although keeping all things relative for the money it is pretty close to outstanding. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I've had the cigars before then we had a great earthy taste their smoothies they usually burn pretty well and they're great to have in your humidor they get better in time 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo You put your name on a product it should be something you are proud of. I bought 2 five packs and 7 Edmondos were plugged. The other three looked fantastic smelled great had fair to good flavor and strength. Burn was straight not much smoke though. Bought these on sale 9.95 a fiver so cost is about $7 a stick after the throw aways. I can get cigars that are smokeable and tons more consistency and flavor (Padron 2000 AF R&J etc. for less than 7.00 a stick. 1 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Arrived in great shape. Look great. No reason to pay more for name brand when JR alternative are this good 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo GOOD SMOKE!!! 4 stars all around!!! I will buy more in the future!! I bought a 5 pack by the way great price!!! Smooth all the way to the nub.. Thanks JR!!! 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Nothing like a monte but a decent medium cigar worth it on a budget great add on for a give out cigar for friends 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Let's be realistic. You can't ask any $2 cigar to taste like a real Cuban. I've smoked Cuban cigars for my entire life and this doesn't taste like any I've had. That being said this is one of the best 2$-$10 cigars I've had ! A pretty decent construction flaw and flavor. I let them rest for a while and keep some in my humidor at all time. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Pretty close to the real thing. Cost is much better but it's not quite the same. A little harsher and the burn us not as even. Overall not bad for the price. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Excellent smoking experience. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Very smooth well made cigar with lots of flavor. Draw was even and smooth. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I have smoked about 6 out of my bundle so far and not a single one has burned properly. The flavor is good but constantly having to touch up and relight a cigar takes quite a bit of enjoyment out. 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I have not received these yet and will have to correct my review once I have smoked a few 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Loved the flavor. poor/uneven burn. would have tendency of going out at toward the end. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This cig is one of the best buys offered by JR.Nice flavoreven burn and smooth draw. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I really like the flavor of this cigar as of lately the construction is lacking. Uneven burn unraveling one time it looked like I was smoking one of those exploding cigars they had in the old movies. Sad to see I really enjoyed these. 2 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Loved this smoke but will only buy if they are $9.99 not the $11+ price. As for the cigar itself after smoking 20 of these I have found that the flavor is fantastic if you enjoy a full taste. If you enjoy a lighter stick don't buy these. They are put together pretty good as I had two of the twenty crack at the cap when using a punch I cut them after the breakage and smoked away! The draw was always the same with a good amount of smoke and for the most part burned evenly among all 20. I would recommend these overall and will share with my friends. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo If you are looking for a relative cheap great cigar this is one of them! 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo First time ordering these. Very solid cigar. Nice burn and draw. Great construction and flavor. The Ecuador Sumatra wrapper is a plus. Recommend. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo These smokes burn unevenly WHEN you can get them lit! They have an inconsistent and often difficult draw. I know they are inexpensive but I expect much better from a JR poduct 1 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Just finished one of these. I'm just a regular guy had a rough day. Let me just say they are delicious. Never mind the inexpensive price because they're so good you could mistake them for a big name brand. Draw was smooth retrohale was cool and smooth. Kept the ash on for an 1 1/2. Nice white ash too. Didn't come apart at all. Rolled very well. Same taste throughout. Try them 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Very satisfying cigar. Smooth draw a bit heavy with hints of oak and cinnamon. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo These cigars are my new davorite. Who'd of thought a non name brand could blow others out of the water. Big ring great spicy bold flavor. The price is unbeatable too. Smoke for close to 90 minutes. Long ash nicely made and even burn. Not a beginner cigar because it will bite. Love them. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Just a beautiful smoke thanks JR 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is my daily go to cigar. I judge others against this and few come close in the price range. I don't have the pallet to describe all the nuances of this cigar I just know what I like. I have had some problems with burn draw and construction but not often. I would recommend people give this a try. 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is an excellent cigar. It's got great taste draw and burn. Superior to the 5. I smoke a lot of these when I don't have the dedicated time for a 6. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I left work early one day just to some one of these - they're that good. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo once agian an excellent smoke..cant say enough about the quality taste draw etc 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This cigar is so flavorful you will burn you're fingers smoking it down to the nub! 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Well constructed consistent burn characteristics good flavor. Even better with about 6 months in the bottom of the humidor. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Ridiculously good for the price much better than many costing twice as much.... 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Everyone's tastes are different but after smoking my 5 Pack I found theses to be very much to my liking. I've been looking for a good daily smoke for as inexpensive of a price as possible and these are it for now. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Just finished a 5 pack of these really burns nicely good strong flavor yet smooth. The price can not be beaten I don't think other than by another JR cigar! 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I would say these are similar to the Cohiba Behikes but I prefer the Cohibas more for some reason. They seem to burn better & the flavor is more consistent. I probably won't buy these again. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo 5 th time reordering this this year. Great JR cigar for the price. Really enjoy this and just got another shipment yesterday now have about 100 of them 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is a solid cigar for the money 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo My everyday smoke. Consistent well made great bang for the buck 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This just blew me away--I've been a JR guy since 1994 and having smoked a LOT of JR Alts this one is by far the most flavorful well-constructed and enjoyable sticks that I've ever had from this venerable brand. Really--gonna buy some more. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Deep but smooth flavor. draw well smell great (to me if not to my wife). And you really can't beat the price. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is a great cigar for the money. I have bought these for years and they never let you down. Well built good flavor and aroma. Well worth the price. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great smoke! Very consistent burn. Excellent every day cigar. Going to buy more and let them rest. Cannot beat the price of these! 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is a well constructed cigar that is a good daily smoke for the cost. I have added this to my list of favorite cigars I order. I have smoked JR ALTERNATIVE cigars for a number of years and this is one of the better ones that I've used. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo The five pack is an unbelievable deal. I think it comes out less expensive than buying the twenty bundle. These cigars are a great price and never disappoint. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I tried the behike JR alternative and though similar this smoke has a slight edge over the other because it is smoother. The price of these smokes are low considering the quality tobacco they are constructed with. I'm an avid smoker and this is a must have in my humidor. A true cigar smoker can easily appreciate it try a 5 pack for yourself and you be the judge. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I enjoy all of these Limited Edition Alts they are a good value for the money. Very rich flavor that gets better if you let them sit. Have ordered many times! 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I've been smoking these for years. Always a good burn and flavor. For the price you cannot beat it! 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo these puppies are very close to the real thing. tastedrawthey hold well in a humi also they get better over time love-em 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo None better for the price. I've smoked them for several years and will continue if the price remains low. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo The flavor and draw are excellent. The burn can be somewhat uneven so I dropped a star from construction and consistency. Yet a nice smooth medium-full stick with no bitterness all the way to the end. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo As with mos of JR’s alternative cigars it’s hit or miss when it comes to construction. When 2 out of a 5 pack is smokable this is un acceptable. . Flavor and strength are great but only when the draw isn’t tight . 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Beautifully hand crafted cigar. Rush in flavor. Excellent draw. Great cigar to have when your getting home from work 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I love this Cigar. It always burns well and full of flavor. I always keep them in my humidor 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I was suggested by a friend of these cigars, and now re-order them all the time, enjoyable. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Medium to Full. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo good cigar but an occasional tight draw good every day cigar 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I have purchased this cigar, several times and the results have been outstanding each time. Tightly wrapped, great smoke, holds a light and even ash. You cannot buy a better name brand cigar that will match up to this great cigar! 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Good everyday smoke, keeps increasing in price because of demand, can we reduce price? 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo never rec'd. cigars 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Of the 40 cigars that I purchased, 12 were un-smokeable. Due to tunneling. 2 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great smoke 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Nice size cigar that burns all the way through,notes of leather ,spice and coffee ,it’s one of my favorite smoke in the the JR lineup. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Outer wraper very dry 3-4 draws and it will break apart 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo For the price, these are great cigars. Occasionally there is one with a difficult draw but it is not common. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Gorgeous wrapper, looks like a chocolate bar. Great Maduro flavor, medium to full flavor. Great every day smoke. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo What I really enjoy is the consistency of these cigars. I have been ordering these cigars for years, they are always a very good smoke. What been frustrating is the changes to the ordering process. You no longer send emails confirming my order or delivery date. Also the cost of the JR Plus membership cost has been increased with an email notification. I have ordering cigars from you for 20 yrs now and I am getting frustrated with the changes since your software update. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I ordered a bundle of these a couple of weeks ago and ordered another one right after I smoked the first one. These are great. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Fairly consistent burn which creates a nice even burn. Well worth the price, my go to daily cigar. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great smoke at a great price 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo bold spicy flavor. These are my everyday smokes and have been for years. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo LOVE my ELMOE's every day. Grew up in Connecticut smoking Connecticut broadleaf cigars 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo good 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Every day smoke.Price is right 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Nice flavor and good draw, even burn, awesome value 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Good smokw 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo It would be nice since I am a often customer that you at least give me a free shipment in my next order. Thank you 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Awesome 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This has become one of my favorites. It has a tasty and durable wrapper, construction is consistent, and flavor is full-bodied. It makers an affordable every day cigar 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Well constructed , easy draw, good flavor , burns nicely 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Awesome smoke 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Worth every penny 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This cigar was difficult to keep lit. Very harsh towards the middle of the cigar. 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Best of the 3 different Edicion Limitadas that I've tried. And a cut above the JR Alternatives. The Edicion Limitadas is on par with the JR Ultimate. What I like about the cigar is the quality of wraper which is oily, shiny and silky. It lights up well and stays lit. It draws well so much so that you can take very small puffs and and put it down and it stays lit. It burns evenly so the technician wrapped it very evenly. Usually, out of every 20 you have one that will not draw almost at all. Not so with the Limitadas. And finally the taste is excellent. There is a chocolate, bourbon, cedar, and carmal taste to them. this is my second batch and I will buy them again. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Good smoke for the price 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo My go to week after week. Hs a few construction issues and has a core burn now and then But I buy them all the time 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Very nice cigar with a good draw. I don't like cigars that draw fast or draw slow. This I find is a perfect cigar with flavor and draw. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great flavor with a smooth draw. Burns evenly. Great everyday cigar at an affordable price. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo great cigar! burns evenly, easy draw and smooth to the nub. Bought a box of these and some expensive one. After smoking both this is my new daily smoke. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Good reasonably priced Maduro👍 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo cigars great sevice medium 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Was a little disappointed, not as good as JR Prince Phillip for sure! 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I have bought this cigar several times and it is very tightly wrapped and has a great flavor for the price. Highly recommend. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This cigar has great taste, lasts long, and good to chew on ( if you like chewing on your cigars while smoking). However, the majority of these I smoked did burn uneven. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Nice cigar 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I’ve been Smoking these cigars for years. They are the best value cigars I’ve ever had. The last couple years the price is these value cigars have increased dramatically. What was around $40 / bundle is now $55. 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Good inexpensive every day Cigar 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I ordered 2 packs as I usually do. They were not shipped out for 5 days after which I only received one pack. I paid for 2. I called and spoke to someone and she said that she was sorry for the delay and she would ship the one.asap. I still haven't received it, so I called again two days ago and the girl said she would ship them out next day delivery. As of today 2 days later I still haven't received them. I am, however, very disappointed as I have been a customer, every few weeks, for many years. 1 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Enjoy a lot! 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Even burn, firmly wrapped, robust flavor. Cannot beat the price!! EFR 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Very tasty, smooth, smells great before lighting, and good burn all the way till the end. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Very nice smoke. Well-crafted. Draw has been great on the 5-6 that I've had. Flavor is pretty darn good. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I was very empress with this cigar. Well wrapped and tight not lose or little to no leaves.. Great taste and for the price it’s a well cigar to purchase. I gave it a 5 Star ⭐️ because it’s well worth it.. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great smoke for the price and hits the spot when looking for something a little more. I’m not sure I’d compare them to Edmundo which I think is my all time fav, but I like these a lot. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Really nice smoke. Nice draw fairly even burn. Goes very well with a cabernet sauvignon wine. Very nice . I will for sure be purchasing more of these. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I ordered Monday and got them today Friday so i put them in humidor but keep 1 out as it seems pretty good to go. Lites easy and draw was pretty good. Great tight ash that holds on long, flavor was ok out of the gate and gets better half way down as you would expect at half way point I was very impressed for an affordable smoke. I do like this for the price it will be a daily favorit I will be ordering these again. I gave the construction 5 stars because I have yet had one this well done for this price range. This is a nice medium cigar I like a full body cigar but this is a very good cigar with a great wrapper I hope they will keep the quality there moving forward I just started buying from JR. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Love the flavor nice slow burn. Nice ash. The draw is a little tight but nothing to complain about. For the money you cant go wrong. Smoked the first one a little over a week ago when i got them really liked it. Let them set in the humidor for a week. A little more mellow. Well worth every penny. I will be ordering more. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo For the price & quality of burn, smoke, & flavor for those on a tight budget and/or regular smoker, you can't go wrong. Excellent filler to own until you can bump it once in a while with some expensive premium cigars. Excellent choice to have in your cigar humidor as a go to smoke. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Had some buddies over and they all gave a thumbs up 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo not good 2 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Buy some they are awesome 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo great tasting smoke for the money 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Your jr subs are really top notch in all aspects.... and they're cheap Keep up the great work 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo For the price, you can’t ask for much more from a cigar. Excellent construction and draw overall. The first third is just ok, but I really enjoyed the flavors more as I smoked it down. I did not find the flavor to be Medium-Full as advertised. To me it’s more on the mild to medium side of things, which is fine for my preference. Burned fine and held up well until I got to the nub. The construction does fall apart as you get to the nub, so something to be aware of if you like to smoke them all the way down like I do. Overall a very enjoyable smoke at a great price. I will definitely buy more of these and would highly recommend. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Good cigar 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Still a good cigar for the price. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great cigar for the money my go to cigar 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Good Smoke! Thank You! 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Usually one of my go to cigars. This pack of five burned through in center on two of them and the other three were only enjoyable for the last half. Not sure if on the rolling or the packaging as to reason why disappointing. Just received another 5-pack yesterday and will see if they are better. Great price just not great smoke. 2 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Better then your average low dollar cigar, Draw is a little tight but gets better at half way and has pretty good flavors with a little creaminess that comes in after the first 1/4. Really good wrapper that stays together until the last 1/4 then you can still hold it together. The 4 stars are worthy for the price of this one that I will buy again. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Very pleased with theses. I have ordered them 3 different times now. Very fast shipping and great price. This my go to smoke . 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This JR Alternative runs in a long line of high quality stogies without the high prices per stick. I enjoy a cigar on the deck or in the garage and I hate cigars that canoe on lighting or have a firm draw to a point you get a hernia smoking them. This cigar is not like that. Full flavor great draw and great construction. I enjoyed this and the price. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is a cigar I can count on every night Construction is good consistency is good 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Got a sampler bundle these were included. Outstanding 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo A very good stick at an affordable price. Take the band off and you’d think you were smoking a Monte Cristo 👊🏾👊🏾💯 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is a very good smoke. Enjoyed it very much. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great value for a full bodied everyday cigar 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Good burn draw and a solid cigar that doesn't get soggy. It's amazing how long the ash lasts. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Quality smoke 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I think this is a great cigar for the money. However the new shipping policy that has been adopted by JR is not good. I have ordered cigars from JR for a couple of years and always used the USPS or default shipping method and could count on my cigars to get here in 4-5 day max. However now JR uses a pick by warehouse for the default shipping method if it is shipped by UPS it takes 7-10 days (first order took 7 days) If the post office can get them here in 5 days max what is the issue with UPS? Keeping a great cigar great is having it in a humidor not in a truck for a few extra days. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This cigar i hoped would be very good. Instead i got a hard to keep lit hard to draw on. poor tasting cigar. I will not buy this one again. 1 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Acchhhhhh...this stick is just nasty. Harsh flavor uneven burn. I will never buy again and just might take JR out of the rotation for my purchases of cigars. 1 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Lack of consistency from one stick to the next. I travel a lot and have enjoyed many of the real Cuban Edmundos and looked forward to this delivery. Sadly after 4 smokes two were awful and one was nearer the mark but much stronger and the last was in between. Taste aside quite disappointed to have to recut because of canoeing. 2 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo One of the best cigars I've had that is not a true brand name. You couldn't tell it's an alternative. The flavor burn feel of the cigar is top notch. Bravo JR. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I found this to be an excellent smoke. Consistent burn and pull. Full flavored with no harsh or bitter aftertaste. Went great with my papa pillar rum as well as my 14yr Carribean cask balvienie. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo These are some of my favorite cigars bar none. Always so much better than many name brands and quite a value considering the high quality. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Good smoke for the price. Good draw and rather smooth. The flavor turns in the last 3rd but the first 2/3rds are good. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I'm finishing my fourth bundle a very well made cigar with a good draw and decent burn requiring few touch ups. If there is a drawback its the flavor inconsistency. After several months in my humidor the taste improved considerably with three of the bundles however one bundle was sub par. The flavor just wasn't there flat without the complexity of the first three. Very disappointing. Price is low so they're worth trying. 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I love this smoke thanks JR great job burns well draw is perfect outstanding flavor. I will be placing another order 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is absolutely the BEST of the JR Alternatives. I've had several and man this one is great. Great burn and an amazing aroma. Flavors of a sweet cream and earth. I can't say enough good things about this cigar. It maybe an alternative but it stays top shelf in my humidor on hand. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo A new favorite. This is in my top five affordable favorites 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is a standby cigar to remind me of what good cigars were like 30 years ago. Always consistent excellent construction slow even burn rewarding taste and flavor. Unlike more expensive boutiques I've never been disappointed. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Hit or miss on construction. long filler not so much. So far 4 of 12 are throw-aways due to difficult draw and/or irregular burn. Beyond the aforementioned taste is good. Got 8 left - wish me luck. Would not buy again. 2 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I thought it was great. I'm new to cigars but I enjoyed it very alot. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great stick for the price. Nice full bodied maduro that pulls well. The only constructive feedback is it canoes frequently. 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is a great smoke. My suggestion is to keep it in you humidor for at least three weeks to a month. I haven't had a single bad cigar from two boxes... But only after I left the in the humidor for a month. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo After being let down by recent purchases of Gurkhas Macanudo Maduro and Full Body Cast Boneshakers- problems such as rolled too tight too wet and/or uneven burn across the board. Smoked the ELMOE's for ages. Rarely a bad cigar consistent taste even burn and really tasted like a more expensive cigar. The last cigar I remember loving were NUBS I almost wanted to eat the butt from my burning fingers.... I can't do the cost these days. So I'm Coming Back to the ELMOE Limitadas. Smoke'em if you got 'em~ 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is my every day cigar always the same and very satisfying 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo unbeatable price well constructed no bitter after taste nice ring 20 cigars won't last long and yes keep the pretty box.. a beast! You will have to re-light this heater more than most good cigars!! 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo An enjoyable smoke for the price (I wish the retail store had the same prices as the web page) I wasn't expecting what I got. Nice variety of flavors a little spice and great construction/burn. A winner! 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Just had my first Cuban Montecristo and it was amazing decided to give these a try to compare. Not the same but very good. I will buy these again. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great smoke. Will buy again. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Watch your order. I was shorted. Received a 5 pack instead of 20. Notified JR by e-mail two days ago I get 3 e-mails a day from their Marketing but they can't take the time to deal with their mistake. Maybe CI is the answer. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Have been buying these for years. Last bundle hard as a rock could have used them for drum sticks.... hoping this is a one off occasion. Time in my humidor did not help. I chose not to return or complain. Can't fault JR for that~ 1 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Maybe even better than just an alternative. So close I can't decide at times but clearly a good smoke 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great cigar for $. Excellent construction and great flavor. Can't tell the difference from brand name 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great store brand great draw and construction. Burns slow and even. Will be getting more of these. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo If you are looking for a great quality smoke and not expecting the the sun and moon then you will be pleasantly surprised and happy with your decision. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Very surprised how good these were!! Only downside some of them had cracks in the wrapping one was bad But the majority of them smoked very well. Great taste!!! Definitely going to stick with JR alternatives 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo GOOD SMOKE!!! 4 stars all around!!! I will buy more in the future!! I bought a 5 pack by the way great price!!! Smooth all the way to the nub.. Thanks JR!!! 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo The Limitada Maduro is peppery savory and the wrapper has an oily sheen. Not a harsh cigar but full bodied. Some sticks may be rolled a little tight but these cigars are easily worth twice the price. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Really surprised by this big guy. Could definitely be the featured cheap smoke in my humidor. Earth and a finish of cocoa. 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Super stick for very little dough. Great flavor. I very much recommend!! 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I've smoke quite a few Montecrosto Edmundo and happen to really enjoy them. Although pricey. I recently found these JR Alrernatives and I don't know that I can tell the difference. Great stick 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Just a great smoke 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Just set your expectations a bit lower than you hope and your there. So it's a bargain cigar not a premium. It's not rolled as good nor is the tobacco as consistent which causes some ash and burn inconsistency. I thought it started a bit bad tasting and left a residue taste but after I was half way through it smoothed out. It's not a bad smoke. It's just not a premium either 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I like the flavor of this cigar but the construction and quality are not good. I can't get a single one to burn properly. Contestant relights canoeing etc. To much work to enjoy. Way overpriced when you factor in the quality. I'll look elsewhere next time. P.S. It appears that JR does not post negative reviews. This is my second attempt at reviewing. The first one was the same and not posted. 2 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo After seeing the reviews for J&R’s Montecristo Edmundo five-pack I thought I’d try this full-bodied stick. I planned on letting them age but I had to try at least one. Good full flavors and rather smooth; impressive construction; draw was a bit tight- probably because I gave it no time in my humidor. It’s a nice smoke just too heavy for my tastes. 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Good cigar..smokes good to the nub. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Over the years I've smoked many Cubans and many higher end cigars all around the world. JR has a real winner in the Alternative Montecristo Edmundo. I call it mild/medium. It has a good tight ash slow and even burning not too tight smooth even draw and plenty of complex flavors that never got harsh all the way down to the nub. I compare it to a Tabacalera Corona from the Philippines which has received ac CA score of 93 compared against Cuban coronas. I enjoy these in the late evening sitting on my porch in front of the fire pit paired with a rum and cherry lemon lime. It a winner! 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Absolutely amazing cigar! One of my favorites! Burns great amazing flavor and an unreal deal! 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This cig is one of the best buys offered by JR.Nice flavoreven burn and smooth draw. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo A most excellent cigar at any price. You won't waste your money by purchasing a bundle or two of these Edmundos. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I have tried many 5 packs to see what I like over the years and found these to be Exceptional !! Very well made and draw was nice. Flavorful and tasty. I will be back for these. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Aficinados good - outstanding as with most shelf brands. The classics are the real deals.. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Close to a Monte. Good stick for the price. Burned even good construction. Will buy again. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great value always consistently well made smoke well and stay together throughout. Not a taste sensitive guy I depend on strength...this gar has it 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Jr alternatives are a good way to go if you're looking for quality and don't want to break the bank. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo These cigars have a very smooth and creamy taste. Paired with a nice single malt it's a very relaxing evening 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo You're going to find some construction burn issues with these but the flavor and cost easily make up for those. This is a classy sweet smoking rich cigar that could pass for a $10 stick. Don't hesitate to buy these and give them a try. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great value for the money. Fairly strong yet smooth. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo It's good...even better with six months or so in the humidor. Dependable consistent etc. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I was completely surprise and amazed what a great cigar. I smoke 3-4 cigars a day and I will definitely start smoking these every day 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Everyone's tastes are different but after smoking my 5 Pack I found theses to be very much to my liking. I've been looking for a good daily smoke for as inexpensive of a price as possible and these are it for now. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo great flavor with no bitter pepper in a full bodied cigar. love it with the weekend coffee. another winner in this jr line. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is a great cigar. It's marketed as a Montecristo Alternative. I'm pretty sure you can take the band off and pass it as a Montecristo. It's that good! I'm a big fan of JR for the quality of service and selection. This is a very high quality cigar. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Just like sports you always have those backup players well this smoke is a great backup player to keep in your humidor. For the everyday smoker this helps keep the cost down. Another good player. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo One of my favorite JR cigars and have re ordered this 20pk over 6 times past few months. Excellent draw and made well and great smoke 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Decent smoke. Sure beats some others I have tried. I am sold on this cigar unless something better in my opinion comes along. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Not quite as represented but a very good cigar. I probably will stick with the Consuegra for my madura smokes instead. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Very good cigar at a reasonable price. Good quality. Smoked for 5+ years. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo These were a bit strong for my taste. It was nice to try something different though. I do like the JR alternative brand overall. 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great everyday smoke can't beat it for the price. Order extra you'll like them. Flavor is good and construction is consistent good draw and well made. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Has a really nice flavor if not super complex. I haven't had any issues with draw or construction. Nice knock around cigar. 2 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo These cigars are always good. Very consistent smoke. The price is just right and they never disappoint. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Very good cigar but to compare these to the MC EDMUNDO is a stretch. You can smoke the real thing till it buns your lips...these are done @ 3/4 burned and... one is almost happy it is. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I enjoy these late evening sitting on the lanai alone with my thoughts. Please stay on top of the quality tobaccos and construction. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Excellent Medium flavor Good burn and draw. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great smoke 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Awesome cigar as are all JR alternatives for their price! 3 5 1

Montecristo Edmundo not bad for a every day cigar 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo One of the most consistent great tasting cigars I've found. These are just a great smoke. Thanks JR. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great cigar and I can get four of these for the price of one brand name.. Oops JR is a brand name..!!! 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Of the two I've tried other than a very hard draw and nearly fireproof there not much else I can say. I really expected better considering the positive reviews. 1 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Big bold taste 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Perfect everyday cigar. Construction is the best I've seen from any cigar. A gem! 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This has a very good flavor, but as far as construction, they’re terrible .. put one down for 5-10 mins ran back out and it looked like if the cigar bursted .. other than the construction it’s very tasty 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Ok cigar; burn is uneven and draw is not consistent 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I've been smoking these cigars for years. The draw, flavor and construction are all excellent. I love the silky wrapper. Many ten dollar plus cigars cannot compare to these smokes. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo So-so 2 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo All good! 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Consistent stick 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo What impressed me at first was the construction. It is a solid cigar. It has the feel of the expensive ones. Nice burn if you take your time. Nice ash and I didn't find myself having to even the burn too much. To me, it has a pleasant flavor of black coffee. All in all a very good cigar worth the money. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo `I have been buying Alternatives for years and have find this best. I shall continue with Montecristo Edmundo. It is the best. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo 25 percent of bundle cant draw, and should be rated mild...was not always like this, this stick on the downward slide 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Very helpfull staff 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Good day to day cigar.. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Out performs most cigars $14.00 and under. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I use these exclusively for fishing and golfing. They hold up very well in the wind. You can go through a downpour and they are still lit. Finally, they are nicely priced, have a good flavor and throw off a reasonable amount of smoke. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is my standard daily smoke. Good smoke for good price. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great smoke for the price. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I get these regularly. Very nice! 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great full body cigar 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo A nice bold taste that will go good with a bourbon or scotch, but also mild enough to go with a strong ginger beer or ginger ale. Also good with a dark tea. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo These are terrific in all ways. I've been enjoying them for years. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo JR Alternatives are a great option, particularly the limited edition line. Excellent cigars for a very reasonable price. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great cigar while being quarantined. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Strong cigar and great flow. Excellent price. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I tried these sticks as my first order from JR Cigars as a test of their quality and taste. These cigars did not disappoint. A very fine cigar that is well made with a great flavor profile. A top quality alternative. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is the cigar I usually buy for my daily smoke. However, this batch has been inconsistent. VERY tough draw on some, very loose draw on others. Will buy again though. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This cigar was great. Thick smoke, stable ash and a smooth taste. Had no issues with draw. Smoked these right out of the package. Good job JR! 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo A very good draw and medium flavor. So far I’ve only had one and had issues with burning evenly and the wrapper started coming apart 3/4 through 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is a good cigar, good construction with lots of flavor. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I always loved the JR Alternatives and the Edicion Limitada to the Montecristo Edmundo is just fantastic. Great burn, construction, flavor and draw. I will be buying more of these for sure. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo For the price these are absolutely incredible.... screw the price, these are amazing regardless. Lots of earthy tones and chocolate. At first I was skeptical on the JR alternatives and now that I’ve purchased them, I’m sold. This Cigar is a knockout deal for the price and will probably become my most frequent smoke. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Nice cigar 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo some Sticks Run, uneven burn 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This cigar is a masterpiece. Smokes beautifully. Very earthy combination of flavors. Consistent. Good draw. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I’m new the cigar world but I was very pleased with this purchase. Perfect size and priced right. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Absolutely an all around great daily cigar. Price point is good enough to make a daily smoke, however it smokes like a cigar 5 times the price. Great flavor, burn and construction. Everyone I ever had have been consistent. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo A very nice cigsr. Lovely aroma and well constructed. Very consistent as fsr as quality. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Every single one of JR limited cigars that I buy, (always the maximum of my order) is not only the highest in flavor but also in quality. If you haven’t tried them, do yourself a favor and do so. Oh and by the way you can save a pile of $ too. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Burns great ashes great looks the part very little to no taste on the first one literally a strong cigarette..bought a 5 pack hope the other 4 are better..was very disappointed in the first one 2 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I really enjoyed this cigar and will definitely order more. Quality smoke at a great price! 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo good cigar for a daily smoke or a day off 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I have tried many of the alternatives and find this one to be the best. Great smoke for the price. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Excellent smoke 💨 Excellent every day stick and I smoke every day 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Just getting back in the cigar game and got one of these Edmundos in a sampler. Thought I’d smoke it first to save the “better” specimens for special events. Blown away by how tasty this one is. Great burn and draw. There was a small section of cracked wrapper but it had no runs and was even all the way through. From start to finish, just a great smoke. I’m wondering if the other high $ sticks in the sampler will fare cause this one was stellar. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I hate to say it, because good reviews is why this cigar is sold out all the time. But this is my favorite cigar. Lots of flavor, burns great and priced right. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great cigar. Been smoking Limitada for quit a while. I like a full bodied cigar. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Best knockoff I’ve tried. Inconsistent, but cheap everyday smoker. 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great smoke 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo ALWAYS A GOOD BUY 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo About half smoke great, the other half came hard as rock. 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo These are my everyday go to cigars. love the flavor and body 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo These were great, nice and smooth! Ive got a couple more in my humidor that's been there for about 6 months. With age they can only get better! 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo These were very hard to smoke, had a terrible draw, wouldn't stay lit. Won't buy again. 1 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo It’s a good smoking cigar. I particularly like the size of the cigar. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo The cigar was very well constructed with a great draw. The current batch after being backordered was consistant with prior orders. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great Smoke, no staining, light 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo That's a great cigar but you never have them in stock. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This has been my primary smoke for the past couple of years. Somewhat inconsistent on availability, this cigar burns evenly with a decent draw and is enjoyable to the end. Medium to full bodied ........... 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Somehow, I'm not surprised this is sold out. Its a great smoke and a better value. Hope it come back soon. I'll keep checking back. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Very good cigar, when good, but inconsistent in quality.. Sometime excellent draw, sometimes can't draw. Excellent taste, good burn, on the strong side. Not my go to cigar, but I have them at the ready at all times. Very common to be out of stock. Buy quantity when available ! 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Won a five pack via auction was sure what to expect. great looking cigar tasting far better than anticipated, consistent easy draw, no construction or burn issues . If I hadn't known would have thought it was one of my Hoyo's. Now I will be open to exploring other JR alternative selections. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great smoke 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo These are prime time smokes that smoke like a $8-12 stick. Overall very enjoyable. Had them before and will be buying again. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Always a reliable stick when they're availible :>) 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Relax for an hour and blow your worries to the sky. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Settling for this cigar by accident was a wonderful surprise. This cigar is well built for all day chewing & holding then smoking it the remainder. Also it is perfect to light up immediately. It taste and smokes like a super premium cigar, because it is without the higher cost. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Ordered on a whim. They are a bit strong for me but they have been a good smoke; great size, nice white ash, even burn and taste is great as long as I don't make it hot by smoking too fast. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Hard to draw and keep lit 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great impersonator! You can close your eyes and not know the difference. Great job 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Very disappointed in the last purchase of these. I have been using these for some time and this last order was terrible. Opening them when they arrived they were dried out and when you cut them they would unravel 2 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Not bad for the price 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Consistent with great flavor, smoked 3 of the 5 and all 3 have been dead on. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I’ve been buying from JR for about 40 years. Discovered this little gem on my first bundle having arrived a couple days ago. I order 2 more bundles to stock up in the event there was a supply issue. Spoke to JR today. Availability wained a tad last year as has just about every other import on the planet. That is remedied apparently. I find the smoke a rich complex flavor and essence consistent with an upper end brand. Can’t beat the price. I do hear about inconsistencies regarding draw, some tunneling and canoeing. This is a handmade product using only natural organic ingredients. Life itself is chock-full of imperfections. Adds character and at times gives smokers something to bitch about. To be expected. I appreciate the girth and premium wrapper with tight condensed longleaf filler. Really can’t go wrong particularly for the price. Only challenge now is getting them to Europe consistently. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Love these cigars and love the price even more 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Nice cigar 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo The bundle I got this time was burning uneven and cracking not good 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo They were good for the money 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Good Maduro - even smoke - a little tight and burn consistency but good flavored smoke! 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Very good inexpensive cigar 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Theses used to be good. Now all of the packs I've received in 2022 has had hard draw, bitterness and inconsistency to a point no longer enjoyable. 2 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Good cigar priced well 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Not bad for the price. They're strong. A bit on the peppery side. I plan to let them age for at least a year to mellow out the bite. 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I don't know where to begin. The first one the impossible to draw through. When it did clear up for a couple of puffs every dozen or so, the flavor was good. But then it would revert to awful. The second one had better draw but the flavor was boring and harsh. Third one wasn’t better. Either they need a decade in a humidor or these are just very inconsistent. 1 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great burn, good taste, no lingering aftertaste, nice construction, will buy more. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Always consistent quality. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I've ordered this cigar twice, the first time as a 5 pack and the second as a 20 bundle. The first order was great, with only one cigar having burn issues. The taste is what sold me on this particular cigar though. For a budget cigar these are great tasting sticks. However...my next order of 20 contained only a couple of cigars that didn't have uneven burns. The draw was inconsistent as well, with some being very tight and others feeling like you're sucking air. Overall, I really want to like this cigar. Perhaps it was a new roller at the factory or something, who knows, but the inconsistencies are enough to give me pause about making another order for this particular cigar. 2 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Personally, don’t like it 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I once was in love with these sticks, but now I'm not. I get tired of throwing these cigars in the garbage because about a quarter of these table legs end up there. I could hook my Dyson up to try to get a draw on some of these and even the Dyson would gasp and give up. There is nothing worse than sitting down in a good mood to smoke a cigar and sucking my damn lungs out trying to get this thing to burn only to scream in anger and throw the SOB across the yard. I can honestly say I will NEVER buy these exasperating SOB's ever again. The price is right and when they burn they're impressive, but there are just to many of these to make it financially feasible. If I have to throw one away out of every 4 it isn't saving me a penny, not to mention the anger and frustration these wooden dowels cause. As soon I cut it and take a draw, I know right away I'm in for a screaming fit of rage. I am not placing my trust in these cigars ever again. I'll pay more and smoke less and to hell with these exercises in futility. What a bummer. 1 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Top notch smoke 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Excellent smoke for the money. Will be ordering again. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo The value in value.. You can’t beat it!! I normally let them rest for 30 days are so 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Good cigar 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Always keep these in my humidor. Flavor is good, aroma excellent. Even burning with a solid ash. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is not a bad cigar. Its packed nice and burn ok. I just wish it had a little more flavor and the draw was a little easier 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Excellent price point for a cigar that delivers a quality smoke!! 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I received a message of items delivered, but that was not the case 1 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo The cigars were not bad. I would only get them again if I had no other choice. 2 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Strong flavor but a good cigar to change things up a bit. I enjoy them while cutting firewood or working on my property. Due to its bold presence, it’s definitely an outside smoke. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Well constructed easy smooth draw even burn and good taste 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Very good. 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo My favorite go to cigar. Sturdy, tight packed construction. Consistent burn. Flavor is excellent. I hate giving great reviews because the price seems to go up after great ratings. Other downside is you never get a benefit for writing a good review. This is a solid medium cigar. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Very good 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo The Value in Value!!!! Excellent for the money 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Great value 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Good price,slow burn, good flavor. 1 or two sticks are tightly rolled but not bad out of a bundle 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo . 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo This is another JR cigar that can compete with the name brands, good smoke and even better with some sitting time in the Humidor, I suggest with the price to buy double for your humidor so you can rotate ones for sitting and ones for smoking, and the wife doesn't complain about the aroma. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Good cigar smell good and easy drew 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo As a daily gentlemen smoker I decided to try these at the behest of a friend. Much larger than my normal smoke. These are absolutely outstanding. Starts off mild but does build in strength. Notes of leather, pepper, chocolate are throughout. Well build 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Agree wholeheartedly with James L review. Have smoked Edmundo size and some other Limitadas and they never fail to arouse my taste and olfactory senses. Must say the Edition Limitada line are better than many socalled premiums. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Good taste,A little loose but the quality is there. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Well constructed, great finish, easy on the palate. I’ll be buying more as great value 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Very good cigar with nice flavor from start to finish. Draws evenly and one of my favorite JRs! 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Perfect size - great flavor 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I know these are alternatives so my expectations were low to begin with. but CMON... what an absolute joke of a "cigar"...tastes like paper, NO DRAW WHATSOEVER, NO FLAVOR...horrible construction, ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING...I ordered a five pack so I tried each one and they were all bad...THREW THEM IN THE TRASH AND AM ABSOLUTELY LIVID AND MAD. How can JR put their name on something so laughably bad???????????????????????????? 1 5 1

Montecristo Edmundo I have to admit I was very disappointed in the construction of the 20 pack I ordered. This is not my first time smoking or ordering these Limitadas from JR. What I found ver disappointed is when I buy a product and you tell me I am getting a 54 ring gauge cigar I expect that.. The bundle I received had maybe 8 cigar's that were actually that size. I had cigar's that were probably between a 48-52 ring gauge, oblong and semi square press. If I wasn't low on an everyday cigar I would have sent these back. I do know what I am talking about since I use to worked for one of the best Cigar store's in Palm Beach county in Florida. I understand you get what you pay for but a$60.00 is still a decent amount of money. 3 5 1

Montecristo Edmundo I used to swear by these cigars. Recently, it's easier to smoke a roll of nickels than these cigars. If you insist on trying these, just have a cigar spear handy and make sure you spear them in four different places and overnight if you want a semblance of a decent smoke. I am done with these. It seems that every JR branded alternative has the same problem. Uneven smoke and tighter than Fort Knox. 2 5 1

Montecristo Edmundo I always enjoy sampling the JR Alternatives. This was an initially earthy delight that progressed into a spicy finish. A little of an uneven burn at times but well constructed. My only regret was that it would have lasted longer!!! Will be smoking several more to test consistency and draw. 4 5 1

Montecristo Edmundo Where to start. I gave these cigars a chance. Of course I know dang well what to expect when buying JR alternatives, some are ok, some are decent and some are great for the price point. BUT COME ON.. THESE ARE NASTY! Not only did I attempt to smoke one, but I smoked multiple and STILL ended up throwing them in the trash. Literally horrible flavor, worse than smoking paper. I have smoked $1.25 cigars and they were better than these. I’m sorry but won’t be buying these again and now hesitant to buy other alternatives because I’m hearing talks of quality of Alternatives getting worse and worse. Sorry guys, I really tried. 1 5 1

Montecristo Edmundo Great smoke, great cigar!!! 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo JR started shipping a different cigar called the Montecristo Edmundo. Cigar is visibly different. Different wrapper, different size and different packaging. It's a good Cigar but not the older version. I am accustomed to cigars changing over the years so this isn't a shock. Still adjusting to the newer version of this Cigar. I have had a few issues with construction of the new version of the cigar but fewer issues with draw like the last version of the cigar. 3 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I recently tried these for the first time in several years, and I was very satisfied. Burned evenly and good draw. Flavor was great, and consistent throughout the bundle. 5 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I have been smoking this same cigar for many years. They recently changed the cigar. They still call it ELMOE . I am smoking the first one now and I will not be ordering from JR Cigars any more. These are horrible now. Time to try out Cigar International . Good Bye JR 1 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo JR Edicion Limitada Alternative Had trouble from the start, first one was unraveling out of the wrapper. They all canoe- ed and needed almost constant relighting. Not again, sorry. 2 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo I bought these a while back and just smoked a couple more. I will probably buy these again. Although I don't generally smoke maduros They have good flavor, very good construction consistently good draw, and what is very important to me - a nice even burn. recommended 4 5 1
Montecristo Edmundo Even though I occasionally get one with bad draw, this is a really good cigar, especially for the money. I've been smoking it for years now and will continue to. 4 5 1

Montecristo Edmundo I ordered these December 5, 2022 and recently opened a five-pack. I’m currently having the second which is an identical twin to the first, so tightly rolled, there is no taste and little smoke. I have had the Edmundo before which was absolutely delicious. Very disappointing, I hope the remaining are better. 2 5 1

Montecristo Edmundo With such a decent price, I thought it might be too good to be true. But it was great—rich flavor, even burn. It’ll definitely stay in the rotation. 4 5 1
