Your link goes to a post about how Ultimates are good, but mentions nothing about alternatives. Just letting you know in case your link is going to the wrong place....

Re: JR Alternatives

Yes, no- "Ultimates" are a different story- they are tasty.

I tried them before and they are nothing to write home about. I'd rather be buying Padron 3000s, Tampa Sweethearts, Don Pepins, etc. many more varieties at the same price point.

Re: JR Alternatives

hi new guy here lol
i tried those before an smoked my last one about 6months ago, said never again cause they was as far away from the real thing as anything. i would just stick with the real thing other than going with some alternatives. those are the only alternatives i have had so can't compare them to any others.

Re: JR Alternatives

I wouldn't go near the alternatives. The ultimate's are decent, normally what I will buy from JR :2

Re: JR Alternatives

Jr Ultimates are excellent. Cabinet #10 is best size IMO. Picked some at auction a week or two ago.

As far as the Alt's stick with the Alt ELs: http://www.jrcigars.com/jr/index.cfm...TERNATIVE.html.

I know they will be knocked for imitating CCs, but the are outstanding of the ones I've had. Perviously, they were all a product of blending by Frank Llaneza. Without him will they be as good going forward - let's hope.

Re: JR Alternatives

Edicion Limitadas are by far the only ones worth trying. They don't taste anything like a LE Cuban but if you like a med-full give em a shot. They may suprise you.
