^^^The above quotes are good advice.

Back in the mid-90', I'd tried some of the JR Cuban alt. to the Bolivar, Cohiba, and RyJ, and really were fairly decent smokes. At that time, a bundle was going for around $17+/-. The JR Alt lines have been manufactured by different SA and Dominican tobacco companies, and the taste, flavors, construction, and burn I'm sure have changed over the years due to same.

JR has 5er' available or you could probably call one of their retail stores in NC and speak to a retail associate and put together some singles to sample.

Always keep an open mind and something might just become your everyday go to smoke
