Re: JR Alternatives
Haven't had one in about 12 years.....just know that they are nothing like what they are an "alternative" for. The closest they get is in shape and size only. They are an excellent cigar to give out as handouts however......

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

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.
