CAO Maduro RobustoLoved this JR Alt from the first stick. I have mostly Connecticut wrappers in my everyday humidor and wanted some variety. Very glad I purchased these as they are becoming my go-to smoke. I enjoy them until I can't hold them between my fingers. Gave one to a coworker and he was hooked instantly as well. Went to reorder and they were out of stock guess that means I'm buying multiple bundles when they show up again!551

CAO Maduro RobustoI was smoking these about 6 months ago and they were an amazing value one of the best alternatives out there. Then they went out of stock for awhile. This latest shipment is definitely not the same smoke not as good but still a decent value.351

CAO Maduro RobustoI like to chew on my cigars before i smoke them to get that nicotine rush These hold up well and are a pretty smooth smoke.. I do get some uneven burns but at this price who cares!451

CAO Maduro Robustoa good smoke if you can keep it lit set it down to turn aa page in a book and it goes out very soft construction lots of leaf stems. Would not order again. But will stick with the Remedies Don Victors. You gets what you pay for but not in this cigar.351

CAO Maduro RobustoWon't lie. Was expecting a slightly bigger cigar. But I liked it. If I can find one just like it but bigger I'll buy it . Until then my new daily. Considering the problems I've had with another JR Alternative I was pleasantly surprised with this one451

CAO Maduro RobustoI smoke all sorts of cigars nothing really high end; I have a friend who travels regularly to Cuba and he picks up some for me when he's there so Cuban sticks are in the mix. This short Maduro is one of my favorites. The flavor is slightly sweet with a nice full depth and the burn is consistent from one stick to the other. I smoke several of the JR Alternatives and these sticks hold their own with the name brands but at a much more affordable price. Oh and I've never seen better shipping out of any company period.551

CAO Maduro RobustoWhile this cigar is not a bad smoke and possesses good flavor it has to be classified in the full/ harsh body range. I definitely favor medium body smokes so this could be hardly listed among my favorites in the CAO family i.e. Italia Brazil's and the former Sopranos. That being said there is some good smoking with this stoggie to about 3/4 of the way down. Stay away from the robosto length and do yourself a favor with a Toro or larger.351

CAO Maduro RobustoFirst I'm not a fan of box pressed and even though these came in a bundle you could tell that they were box pressed somewhere down the line. The draw starts out fairly tough but ends up being OK. It's a bit bolder than a CAO and it doesn't have the flavor of it's namesake either. About the only thing I can say in its favor is that it is consistent and has a good construction. But remember you get what you pay for.351

CAO Maduro RobustoAgain a pretty good stogie but not as good as the name sake. I have had several just finished one. Some have a good smooth draw but one was like drinking a thick milkshake through a thin straw. Hopefully the majority will be more like the others.351

CAO Maduro RobustoThe Cuban inspired square pressed cigars take a bit of getting used to, but after molding the shape to a more smokable 'round' shape, the smoke is full and satisfying. Good all around dailies.451

SWAYNE C.
CAO Maduro RobustoGreat cigar but for those who do not know this is box pressed. Be carefull to read the shape if you don't like boxed pressed cigars. Jr doesn't use the simple term box pressed. They use the technical term Parejo. Other than that it's great cigar. I prefer hand rolled round cigars. The correct term for them is Figurado. For round any way. a cigar can be round and machine rolled.451

CAO Maduro RobustoWhen I ordered these the offer was buy one bundle and get a second one free. The shipment contained only one. JR's CSR said oh we ran out. But JR continued to promote with the promise of a second pack free. This is annoying. Too bad JR can't honor its promise.151

CAO Maduro RobustoMy wife and I were on a trip to St. Petersburg FL and I decided to stop by a local shop and buy a cigar. When smoking the wife asked to try it. She fell in love IMMEDIATELY and is now a cigar connoisseur. Unfortunately it was a Padron 1964 Anniversario Presidente at $22 per stick. She is now a regular smoker and I have been on a quest to find something that tastes almost as good at a fraction of the price. We have a JRs a short distance from our house so we went shopping. I didn't by these at that time but later ordered them and MAN!!! These are 1/10th the price and will become a permanent part of our Cool-i-dor. They have a great taste and you can't beat $2-ish per stick. The draw can be a bit inconsistent but really who can bi^%h about that at this price.451

CAO Maduro RobustoThe best thing about this cigar is the flavor. But the draw is very inconsistent from Stick to stick wont stop me from buying them again since the stick the has a good draw its usually very consistent and the flavor just makes up for all other flaws. And we cant forget about the price!351

CAO Maduro RobustoI have turned on many friends to this smoke. So...not quite as good as the real thing but as far as bang for the buck..way BETTER! I have not had any issues with draw and only 1-2 that started to unravel a bit at the cut. For $2 a stick these are a killer deal. I've ordered at least 100 of these so far.451

CAO Maduro RobustoFor me, It's a golf cigar. The bundle was spongy, soft, forecasting a loose roll. The flavor was good, they ended up smoking ok. I did notice I smoked it all the way down which is an indicator I like d it. Will I buy it again????? Yeah , when its on sale or free shipping. I hate throwing $10 cigars on the ground when playing golf.351

The JR Alternative to the CAO Maduro Robusto cigar is the perfect choice if you’re looking for a really great top-quality premium cigar for much less. Handmade with long-filler tobaccos from some of the best smokes in the world such as Macanudo, Montecristo, and Excalibur, these cigars are close in size, flavor, and strength to those big-name brands. Buy a bundle of 20 at JR Cigar and see why JR Alternative cigars have been our best-selling brand for decades.
