Another thread about mild cigars here made me want to ask the following question: I love Davidoff line, but they are expensive and I don't want to break my wallet. What I really love in Davidoffs is how perfect their construction and draw are. I also love the creamy mild complexity... I don't...

Finally received my JR Cigar catalog. Good entertainment; really enjoyed the stories. Anyway, I was looking at their "alternative" cigars, and am wondering if they are any good. Prices seem to be absurdly low. So, are there any really decent smokes on the list? Anything wretched? I've...

Hi, I have only been smoking cigars since January and I don't smoke cigarettes, so I'm a real newbie, but not a young one LOL. So far I have only smoked Cuban cigars as I bought them while I was there and I live in a small remote town that has no Cigar Shop. I either have to travel to get them...

I have seen a lot of posts, on people asking about the alternatives from jr. Looking through the latest catalogue, their might be a solution for you at a great pricepoint. They are packaging either a 15 cigar cuban sampler, or a 15 count non cuban sampler, encased in a...

Anyone ever tried JR Alternatives and are they any good or I should say worth it? I got a buddy going to Florida in February and he will make a pit stop for me at JR and I was looking at their web site and saw this JR Alternatives. Any thoughts on this? Thanks

Money's getting tight, so when I asked for a well priced cigar, I expected way worse. I guess that's because I've paid 5-10 dollars more than what... Read the full review here: JR Alternatives Cohiba Robusto Cigar Review - Value

Has anyone had any experience with JR Cigar "Alternatives"? Budget is getting tighter and I'm thinking of trying their Ashton No. 20 or Macanudo Devon alternatives?? Any input on those specifically or any of their "Alternatives" brands in general is appreciated.

I live outside of a major city in a small town. I don't make it into the city often, hate the traffic, people, area, the fact that my tax money pays for basketball, etc, etc. My city, San Antonio has numerous B&M's but I usually don't make it to them. If I'm going there, its because I really...

Ok looks like I jumped on the boat at the wrong time because it seems like no one has any SG in stock except for the Xmas and Firedance. I got FVF and Squadron leader in my sample and I like both and want I guess to find an alternative or substitute till they come back in stock. I also got some...

An Altadis rep came by my local B&M giving away free sticks. Which is always nice you never know what hidden treasure you may find. The wrapper loo... Read the full review here: JR Alternatives Cohiba Siglo IV Cigar Review - Glad it was free

Hey guys! I've been doing some shopping for a Vinotemp and was wondering if there were any usable and valid alternatives? I'm looking at a 12-bottle capacity unit so that I don't try to find reasons to fill a larger one rofl. Thanks guys! Cheers, Isaac Oh wait one question: Auto-Defrost = Bad...

Hi all, First of all, I love you guys. This is probably the most helpful forum I've ever been on. Anyway, I've read most of the threads here on dryboxing. The general consensus seems to be to keep the cigar an unhumidified humi for ~1-3 days prior to smoking. Does anyone know of or...

has anyone tried any? specifically the one that is supposed to be like the RP vintage 1992? i was at a party for the coach's end of the season and the head coach busted out a new bundle of JR alternatives and said they were the RP knockoffs. i passed at the time but the smell made me regret...

I bought a bundle a few months ago from JR and was quite disappointed. First of all, the cigars were loosely rolled, probably 14 out of the 20. T... Read the full review here: JR Alternatives padron 1964 anniversary torpedo Cigar Review - Loose Roll
