Quick Smoke: JR Alternative of the Cohiba Sublime

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.

Way back in May this corona gordas was the first cigar we reviewed when it earned a three stogie rating. Now, with almost a year of aging, the JR Alternative of the Cohiba Sublime – a cigar that shares very little with the Cuban Cohiba except its name – is quite an impressive smoke. This 6.62 inch x 54 stogie’s deep earth and coffee flavors only got better with age. Plus, at just 30 bucks for a bundle of tewnty, these smokes are a real bargain. If you have the patience to age them for a year, you’ll be in for a real treat.

Verdict = Buy.
