Smoked the a JP for the first time today. Definitely noted grass/wood with a hint of spice upfront with a abrupt change to a sweeter body which was nice. Not my favorite Just because preference but it was a nice cigar! Perfect draw thick smoke.

Fairly well done fake. I think it is another cheaper brand relabeled. Triple cap was present but a little sloppy. Some overlapping prints/defect on the label. Backing on the label is plasticized. Some shredding of the long leaves when cut, cheap price and monochromatic flavor. Lastly failed black light test without SNs. I saw the same shop later with open faced sheen packaging. All in all weren’t bad cigars, but definitely not complex by any means and flavor was at best leathery and at other times, nothing? Most any flavor was in the wrapper leaf which could have been artificial as some of the color appeared to be.

Hey all, I wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I am a middle aged man who has many books, few of which I read. I have smoked stogies off and on for years but recently have really begun to enjoy the subtleties/flavors/aura of cigars. I am into mild and moderate bodied cigars with a preference for cocoa, cappuccino, vanilla, caramel, and smooth cream. Yes, and I am not ashamed, I’m on the newbie page right? I am on my quest for the ultimate cigar that fits my palate but is also affordable so my wife doesn’t murder me, and secondly for one I can share with beloved friends who don’t smoke often. Beauty is in the gustatory receptors of the beholder. Live mostly in the US but am out and about seeing the world. Well, cheers and good smoking to all! Favorite cigars so far: 1. Favorite Cheapskate: La Aroma de Cuba Especial 2. Other less cheap favs: Cohiba Exquisito, Torano Exodus 1959 3. Expensive: None yet, probably will never spend more than $30 on a cigar. Lastly, I will say that I see Cigars like women, poetry, jewelry, wine, cheese, and whiskey. Yes there are standards, but in our diversity, we all appreciate different things on different levels and each cigar smoked should come with an attempt to appreciate it for what it is in flavor, experience, nostalgia, and for the time and passion people producers have put into it. We can learn from each other and guide, but how cool would it be if you’re favorite cigar is cheap?
