This thread will review:
Name: J&R Ultimate No. 1
Size: 7.00 x 54
Wrapper: Conneticut Broadleaf (CTB) Maduro
Binder: CTB
Filler: HON
MSRP: 25 cigars in a BOX for $137.00
Price Payed: $68.00
Stated Strength: Medium to Full
Comments: This cigar is a little above the price range of low cost but, at auction, it can be had close to $50. J&R claims this to be not only their best cigar but one that surpasses many others double the price. They come in a variety of sizes and wrappers. These cigars were purchased 6 months ago.

To keep it standard, we would rate the cigars in three categories.
A) Appearance--How the cigar looks, how the pre-light smell is, the wrapper, etc.
B) Taste---How is the taste? Spicy, strong, bland, airball, etc. How did the taste progress, etc.
C) Construction---How did the cigar perform in terms of draw, burn, ash, etc.
To rate the cigars we would use a number from 5 to 10, 5 being one you would not even give Fidel to smoke and ten being a damm good cigar. The final rating number would be determined by the following:
A + B + (1.5)C divided by 3.5. This is similar to how Cigar Magazine does it but it is a little different. I realize that this is not perfect and there may be better ways but this would work also. Thanks for the reviews!!
