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 my first attempt at a cigar review but as they
say "Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one."
so here goes.
I like to find good value cigars and I would just barely
put this cigar in that category. It seems to always start
out quite harsh and bitter. As I get into the cigar it
always improves in the middle and is actually quite good.
The finish also seems to always be a little harsh but
not as harsh as the start. I have had a few other JR Alternatives
and I would recommend them over this one. I have often
wondered if the many JR Alternatives available are really
just the same 5 or 6 cigars offered with different names.
Anyway, I will probably not buy this particular stick
again.
I've wondered the same
thing about the 5 or 6...!!!
