    JR Alts was what I first started to smoke before I found these BB's. They are a very inexpensive smoke, 22.00 for a bundle. They say the are alternatives to certain name brands. I keep some around now to give out at BBQs when I know certain people will ask. Cigar smokers get good cigars from me. BBQ story & review

    After trying "name brand" cigars and comparing them to JR Alts.... there is a major difference.

    Too bad people don't put there addresses here like CP

    OK, well the guy who spoke to me today used the term "knockoff brands" but it looks like he meant "JR Alternatives"
    There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.

    Which alts do you buy? There are a lot of them, I'm curious how big a difference there is between them. obviously with a cigar priced as low as the Alts, there is only so much you can expect, but are some better than others in your opinion?



    BTW, I have my address listed......

    I order most (95%) of my stogies from JR and feel that I get 100%+ from their generic brands. Their service is efficent and quick to deliver, the stogies are #1 FOR THE PRICE,

    Go for it, RICK

    I ordered some JR Cuban Alternatives recently (Punch Black Prince). I tried one late last week and it was terrible. I'm going to give it one or two more chances.

    Lazy1, what was your take on the alts you ordered?

    Hello All - I am new to the board and first of all, I appreciate all of the great info I have been able to read.

    As for the JR alternatives, I do like Bkcloud said and keep some on hand as give-aways for my friends who don't generally smoke cigars, but will want one when they are at the house for a party or on the golf course or something. They are not great, but will do for those situations.

    I had a second JR Alt to Punch Black Prince last week and it was much better than the first. I passed out a couple to some friends last night as we were enjoying a nice evening and they really liked them.
