JM’s Cigars

JM's Cigars is a premium cigar brand that started by an incredible bit of happenstance. As the company legend goes, the brand’s president, Anto Mahroukian, was 17 when he bought his father, John Mahroukian, a premium $20 cigar for his birthday. John smoked it, fell in love with the idea of crafting an incredible blend for the masses and within a short period of time, he had 10,000 private label cigars crafted from a factory in the Dominican Republic. He joked that, if no one else bought them, he would still have one cigar to smoke every day for the rest of his life. Since that time, JM has prod...uced cigars that are excellent value, while still maintaining a foothold in the premium cigar world. Their most famous blend is Espanola, which was created back in 1996 and features a San Andres Mexican wrapper around Connecticut Broadleaf binder and filler tobacco from the Dominican Republic. Medium-bodied in strength, the cigar is available in four different sizes and is highlighted by the subtle sweetness of the cigar, which balances the darker flavor profile of the San Andres wrapper with the Connecticut binder. The interplay has made Espanola one of the best selling and longest-standing premium cigars on the market today. The Espanola is also available in a more mellow-medium bodied Connecticut version, which replaces the San Andres wrapper with a Connecticut Broadleaf in the blend, making for a more woodsy and creamy smoke. The company revived the Espanola tradition for a Year of the Dragon smoke in 2024 that featured beautiful packaging and incredible attention to detail. The combination of Corojo wrapper around San Andres Maduro Binder and Dominican Olor Seco and Ligero fillers cemented JM as one of the big winners of the year, having elevated their famous blend to new heights. Also in JM’s profile are a line of infused cigars, called JM’s Honeys, bursting with original honey, honey berry, honey rum and honey vanilla flavors, which are perfect for when you’re craving something out of the ordinary but still want that premium hand rolled taste. These Sumatra bound smokes with filler from the Dominican Republic are delectable and perfect for your next lunch break.
