    Default JR Cigars

    I'm talking about JR's alternative cigars. I have tried two in last couple of days. Tried the A. Fuenta and the Cohiba. Didn't care too much for the Cohiba, A. Fuenta wasn't that bad. Just wondering if any of you guys actually like an alternative to a cigar? I'm not just looking for dirt cheap smokes, but for a buck and a half, it's worth a shot. let me know.

    also, a sad, related story: when i went on a mission to try some knock-offs the other day, i saw they had some "factory rejected maduros". and i'm a sucker for a maduro. love em. so i had to try one, it was like a dollar something, so i wasn't out much. broke it out tonight, and it was horrible. put it out almost immediately. decided to perform an autopsy over my toilet on the pathetic thing. a freaking short filler. why even put this thing in the humidor? come on!

    I didn't care for the JR alts that I had. Iv'e heard there are a few that people like. The JR ultimates are supposed to be a lot better. If you're looking for something in that price range a lot of people on here swear by the Roly bundles(Puros Indios seconds) they can be had for just over a buck a piece .

    Another cheap smoke to try are the Consuegras (Villazon seconds). I'm sure someone on here will be able to tell you which ones are good. I haven't tried these either.

    Hope this helps.

    Default Try to connies

    The Conseugas are seconds from Villazon and are great if you like the punch or hoyo type cigars. There is actually a reference sheet for which cigars connies are seconds of... As I type this I am sitting on a bundle (25) connie No. 18M which is supposed to be seconds of Punch after dinner - My favorite out of those available.

    Haven't tried the Indio though.

    I've heard good things about the Roly bundles. For the price, I don't think you can go wrong.

  7. Thumbs up JR Alternatives

    My friends and I buy JR Alternatives all the time. We smoke about a bundle a month each. So I can tell you with the authority of use that the Alternatives to the Hoyo De Monterrey Sultan Size 7.25 X 54, tastes exactly like the original which we smoked before finding the JR Alternatives.

    Hope this helps.

    P.S. We think that the Alternative to the Hoyo is made by the same company that makes the real Hoyo's.
