Comments on: Stogie Reviews: JR Alternative of the Cohiba Sublime http://www.stogieguys.com/2006/05/stogie-reviews-jr-alternative-of.html Blowin’ Smoke on Everything Cigars - cigar reviews, news and commentary 7 days a week Thu, 09 Feb 2012 04:25:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: John Werner http://www.stogieguys.com/2006/05/stogie-reviews-jr-alternative-of.html/comment-page-1#comment-106058 John Werner Wed, 28 Apr 2010 01:33:50 +0000 http://stogieguys.com/?p=14#comment-106058 I think JR is guilty of bad marketing in that they seem to sell these and other JR Alternatives as famous sticks that they simply are not other than in length and size. That said some are clearly good values and The JR Limitada Edicion Montecristo Edmundo that I am smoking as I type this looks just like the Cohiba Sublime except for the size. This makes me think it is the same blend too! The Stogie Guys review nailed the taste. It's good and has strength, spice, and no rough bitterness. Except for being less smoth and complex than what the namesake advertises it is a bargain on it's own terms; the Cohiba Sublime and Montecristo Edmundo sticks are quite decent tasting bargains.

Many wonderful cigars cost less than the price of a Miller Lite at your local pub, and they’re sure to last much longer.
