JFRs in smaller packages.

Totemic · 01-18-2009, 12:23 PM

Is there any vendor that sells JFRs in smaller packages? Preferrably something on the order of a 5 pack?

I know online vendors sells these in 50 counts, but I'm not sure I want to purchase 50 cigars of a blend I've never tried before. Mostly I wanted to taste the Corojo vs. Maduro blends to see which I like better (or whether I even like them). But I haven't found any vendor (and none of the B&M around me carry these) that sells these in 5 packs.

My local B&M carries the JFR's.

If you want I will be glad to pick some up for you.

Dont expect to find these on many websites espically in smaller quantities. The name JFR stands for Just For Retailers, and in essence is aimed at just that. The way the cost is kept down is by the lack of catalog and web sales and being able to undercut B&M costs and taxes. What i would suggest instead of trying to find them online is have a B&M local to you to get them on their shelves and then you can get them in singles.

There is also the JFC - Just For Catalogs from what I understand is the same cigar.

I did a lot of looking into this and what Matt said is true. JFR are made by Tobacalera Tropical and JFC are not. JFR are all Nicaraguan whereas JFC are Honduran. I've tried both and much more prefer the JFR over the JFC. I'll probably pick up a box of the JFRs next weekend.

What the fug are you guys talking about?

From the research I've done the JFC is using filler tobacco of Honduran origin and the JFR is made with Nicaraguan filler. This may not be correct, Tabacalera Tropical is not exactly the most forthcoming in that regard.

We at TexCigars currently have some of the JFR Robustos in corojo and maduro available for sale as singles as part of a larger sampler or in multiples of five. Please call in for pricing and don't forget to mention that you are a CA member.
