I was wondering the same. I grabbed a few singles from JR's House brands to try out. Supposed to be like Cohiba Alternative, Montecristo Alternative, etc. All the bands just say JR on them so I don't know whats what anymore. I'll just smoke them and see if they are anygood. Also, how about the Thompson House brands? Any particular ones pretty good? I have a sample pack from them and 25 more of their house brand smokes on the way. I hav a Tusker like mentioned about but haven't tried it yet. I have tried a Don Lugo, not too bad but I've had better and I heard from a friend at work that got me into Cigars that the Thompson Pheonix brand is ok.
