These are gems! Excellent flavor and aroma. They are pleasant and understated for a maduro. Hint of sweetness and one can taste the pureness of the tobacco. Burns evenly and smoothly and slowly. One should take his or her time with these jewels and not rush the experience. The one drawback is that, at least as I enjoyed the first of these ten cigars, the draw was a bit difficult at the beginning. I had to relight the stick several times. Please do not let that stop you from enjoying these welcome additions to JR's fine products!

Probably JR’s best collaboration and creation. Ometepe tobacco fascinates me. It’s so good. This stick is medium bodied with a nice little sweetness to it. Primarily nutty finish. Price point correlates well. Good job here!

I've burned through three (3) so far. Consistent. Delicious. Harmoniously flavorful notes. A home run of a smoke.

I just had my first one after letting it sit in my humidor for a couple days and I’m very satisfied. I’m very new to cigars but I bought these because of the vulcano name (I grew up in Hawaii) and it intrigued me. It was my first box I ever bought because it was the only option but I’m glad I did. Got a nice buzz as well. I know it’s only for a limited time but I hope JR still has them after the rest are gone.

I don’t usually pay this kind of premium price for a unknown JR Cigar but they just looked good and the profile sounded right in my wheelhouse. I am three sticks in and my gamble paid off. I have enjoyed this smoke.

What a great cigar... The draw is fabulous. The taste is fantastic. The construction is the best I have had in a while. This has to be one of the most well-made cigars I have ever smoked. smooth tasting and pure class of a cigar made. JR you have found something that is relative to the Cubans that are made today. I have smoke cohibas, Red Dots white dots and blues this cigar kicks ass.... It is a great smoke and is well worthy of the upper-class smoke in the world today. Do you yourself a favor a buy a box of these great cigars. you will be totally surprised at the quality of this well-made cigars. Well worth the price that is very reasonable for such a great cigar... Totally enjoyed this fine cigar and you should too...

This cigar was a curiosity. Great description, but would the cigar match the hype. Upon lighting up I found that the cigar to be different in that the taste was clean, meaning an earthy cigar taste. This is not a complicated cigar. No complex taste, spice is very subtle with hints of pepper. I paired it with a Lion's Tail and it was a very enjoyable hour. I believe that this cigar will hold its own with brandy, port, and whiskey neat, as well as any mixed drink. Looking forward to my next one.

From the first puff to the last, a very pleasant smoke, no harshness and unique flavor profile. Lots of smoke, easy draw with coffee, nutty flavors. Made my Sunday afternoon by the chimenea just perfect with my favorite dark brew. Highly recommend.

Just fired up my 1st Volcano after a few months in the humidor. 1st 3rd was very pedestrian but improved greatly from there. Smoked it for a good 70 minutes. Had to relight first third because core burned hot and left wrapper "un-smoked." Will try another in a month and hope the 1st 3rd smokes better.

I, as others, bought my first box on a whim. Smoked the first cigar upon arrival and was very impressed and ordered a second box. I let them rest for 3 months in the humi and smoked a second stick and this cigar improved even more.
The Gran Vulcan has a perfect burn, light Grey ash and you can actually see the oils develop on the wrapper as you smoke this puro. For my palate this cigar had good spice with hint of fruit and the retrohale was delivered just slight bit of mild pepper. Can't wait to taste the 2023 release.
My recommendation: get a box of this limited release before they are gone...you will not regret it. Enjoy!

Brought these as a "try and see" and very pleased. I also let them rest after the first 2 sticks and they continue to get better.

I purchased my order approximately 5 months ago and they went straight to the humidor. I smoked my first one after that resting period and must tell all that I smiled throughout the entire smoke. It burned flawlessly and dropped ash in 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 intervals. I can best describe the taste as sweet and delicious. The retro-hales were beyond accommodating which made the smoke that much more satisfying. This cigar is a mild with a slight creep to medium towards the halfway point and final third. This is definitely a dessert cigar. If your preference is medium to full don't bother with this one, because you'll likely rate this cigar unfairly. This cigar is what it is and is great at it.

I Gave it a 4 the first review and as much as I wanted it to improve (for me), it just didn't. Burns nicely but flavor profile for me was like smoking spruce tips. I love spruce tip IPA beer but not so much for my premium cigar.

I rested the cigar for a couple weeks after getting it. As soon as I lit it, it started to burn unevenly and have a very unpleasant smell for the price point. I patiently pushed on past the first half inch and even up the burn to find a really great flavored cigar. I wouldn’t go out of my way to get another one, but wouldn’t be disappointed if I had many more.

JR Pure Origin Gran Vulcano
Toro

JPOGVT
JR Pure Origin Gran Vulcano Toro Cigars are Nicaraguan puros highlighted by the use of prized Ometepe tobacco. An island formed by two volcanoes rising out of Lake Nicaragua, Ometepe’s nutrient rich volcanic soil gives the tobacco a naturally sweet taste and fabulous aroma. We used these Ometepe tobacco for the binder and long filler blend and combined them with additional fillers from the fertile Jalapa Valley. Then, after further aging in fragrant cedar bins, the cigars are covered by a beautiful Cuban-seed Habano wrapper also grown in the Jalapa Valley. What makes JR Pure Origin Gran Vulcano Toro a first of its kind for any cigar on the market, is the fact that all the tobacco was grown using an environmentally friendly method of cultivation. To create a smoke of exceptionally quality and refinement, JR turned to none other than the famed Plasencia family who for many decades have remained the largest tobacco growers and cigar manufacturers in Nicaragua. After lighting this flawless (6 x 50) Toro, you’ll be greeted by rich, complex, flavors of earth, sweet spice, leather, and hints of chocolate, that combine for a truly unforgettable medium bodied experience. In keeping with the brands environmentally friendly theme, the cigars are packaged in entirely biodegradable and recyclable boxes of 10. Buy JR Pure Origin Gran Vulcano Toro cigars online today, and enjoy a scrumptious smoke made of the finest pure Nicaraguan tobacco.
