A guy from church gave my dad some cigars today...

all the band says is: J-R with the words "hand made" and "imported" above and below the JR. And it also says edition limited.... And on the sides of the band it says "calidad suprema"...

anybody know what these are??

    They are Cohiba Behike Laguito No. 5 JR Edicion Limitada Alternatives. If they tasted poorly it is more than likely that the individual who gave them to you did not care for them properly. Dried out their oils which takes all the flavor...

    They taste that way already, real dog rockets. No flavor. I even put them in a jar with whiskey chunks and they were still crãp.

    Whiskey chunks as in whiskey barrel Chunks? I haven’t tried that trick yet...

    Yeah, I had some left over from using them with unroasted coffee to flavor them. Worked better with the coffee.

    If you can't get whiskey barrel chunks right now, they seem to be in short supply, you can get various toasted oak and other wood chunks and soak them in whiskey for a few days.

    That description fits both of the JR knockoffs I've smoked. You get what you pay for.
