JR's Wheel of 50 Nics

[xrundog]

JR's has Nic and Honduran Factory smokes in wheels of 50. I want some of the Nic corojos in the 6 x 46 size for next Winter and they have been sold out for quite a while. Do they replenish these often? Or can it be quite a long wait?

Those Nic corojos were great BUT -- I suspect once they're out, no more soon.

Anybody else have a similar product? Price, quantity, etc.?

I usually stick with Nicaraguans. But the price is right on the Hondurans. I should probably just give them a try. Plus, I checked some other places. Nobody has anything that good a quality at that price point.

When they're "on," those Hondurans are great. Would gladly send you a few but all out. I do not, however, think you'll be disappointed.

Pulled the trigger. Thanks for the nudge.

My pleasure.....let us know whether you're disappointed.

I'll pull one out when I get them and let you know what I think.

My cigars arrived from JR's today. They come wrapped in brown paper labeled: Honduran Bench Made Corojo Wraps. Under that is a layer of Spanish language newspaper. Under that are the cigars, each wrapped in cellophane.
I pulled one out to smoke. These are well made cigars. They are firm, smooth and perfectly cylindrical. The foot had a pleasant earthy aroma. I clipped the cap and tested the draw. It was very tight. I reamed it well with my perfect draw tool. It was still a bit tight. Judging by the tobacco I reamed out, and the way it wrapped around the tool, it seemed like the cigar was pretty moist. Difficult to open it up well in that circumstance.
I meandered outside to my smoking perch and lit the cigar with a match. It lit readily but it took a bit of time to get it smoking well. Yeah, it was wet for sure. But considering that, it smoked okay. The flavor developed into a smooth nuttiness. Not complex. But really pleasant. The ash was firm and the burn was straight. I've had cigars that cost 5 times as much that I liked a lot less.
At less than $2 a cigar, these will be excellent smokes for the cold weather months.
I took all the wrapping off and popped them in a humidor. I'm sure that once their RH is in the high 60s they will be pretty tasty.
Toward the end of summer, once I have some some space in the cooler, I'll be ordering more bundles of these in various sizes.
Peace out!
