Cigar Weekly

If not ruined, severely damaged. I have been smoking a lot of certain brands lately and nothing else seems to satisfy. Problem is I have been smoking Tatuaje, RP Old World Reserve, and Litto Gomez and at $10 to $13 a stick it is getting pretty expensive. The only saving grace is Camacho Coyolar and Corojo still does it for me at a much lower price. Oh yeah, the JFR’s are only $4.50 and a very nice smoke too. But that is about it.

Have you ever hit a stretch where you only want the same one or two cigars?

The JFRs are a great alternative to Tatuaje and other of Pepin's smokes. They were originally blended by Pepin and at 3.75 - 4.50 a stick, they are a great value.

Yeah, but never at $10-13 per stick.

I don't think that I have ever smoked more than two or three of the same cigar in a row, unless I just decided to finish off the last few of something. When I have something that I am particularly impressed with, I parcel it out, so the experience will never go flat, and raise the value of the times that I do hit the better ones. For example, I get into my box of cameroon casa blamca about once a month, when I have the time to enjoy it.

JFR?

I typically get stuck in a pattern on occassion and then I have a great cigar that breaks me out - typically a Padron or a cameroon.

Who sells 'em?

I think JFR = Just For Retailers. According to Perleman's pricing guide, Abner's sells 'em, but I couldn't find 'em under that name on Abner's website.

That's the total of my knowledge on the subject.

You sure JFR doesn't stand for "Just Freakin' Ridiculous?" I think it's a price quote for the other cigars!
