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.
