Has Anyone Ever Nubbed an Alt?

I mean, enjoyed it so much that you smoked it down to where you could barely grab it.

Let me preface by saying Alts are lol

Believe it or not, I have never smoked an Alt. Or even an Ult. Or purchased anything other than booze from JR.

Some Alt's are pretty good. Others aren't. The Ult's are a fine cigar if you like the flavor profile.

So, it looks like the different sizes of the JR Edition Limitada refer to different brands of cigars, but they all have the same wrappers, binders, and fillers. Are they really the same blend or should you know which "alt" you want to match?

All I know is that they do taste different from one another to me. I'm also sure that they taste nothing like their Cuban counterparts, but that doesn't matter to me. They are good cigars in their own right.
