From JR Cigar:
Why would anyone in the world buy some crappy seconds when, for a lot less money, they could buy JR Alternatives instead? All of these cigars are long-filler, handmade firsts rolled at the best factories - sans the fancy boxes and bands. We have them made in humungous quantities and pass along the savings to smokers. For over a quarter of a century, these have been the very best value in the whole cigar world!

Notes:

This is a good smoke. Burned for almost two hours. Good ash and only has to relight once. I also noted that this cigar is out of stock quite a bit and I try to be a little discreet about the Alts. That I buy. This cigar is good right after the purchase but a little time in the humidor is advised. I would definitely buy them again. With my luck they'll be out of stock.
