JR Ultimate No. 1 Good everyday smoke. I came back to my old favorite JR Ultimate No 1 after Oliva Flor de Oliva’s jumped in price ($10 a bundle). Good draw good flavor medium strength and consistent throughout bundle(s). For me priced right at about $2 a stick. 4 5 1

JR Ultimate No. 1 I decided to try these as an alternative to the regular JR ultimates that I really like. Maybe I expected too much? 3 5 1
JR Ultimate No. 1 Great every day or weekend smoke. I get mad if I don’t have these, ask JR, I send a request asking where are my cigars. My only complaint is, 9 out of 10 times they are perfect. Once in a while I get a batch that are bad, mostly the wrapper falls apart or there are a lot of twigs blocking the flow. Other than that they taste great, burn even and don’t leave a strong cigar smell afterwards (my wife disagrees). 5 5 1
JR Ultimate No. 1 Smooth draw the cigars will burns evenly while having a cocktail . Ring size and length are perfect for a long walk after a hard day at work. 4 5 1

JR Ultimate No. 1 Usually stellar. My last bundle burns unevenly and the wrapper falls apart on ever other cigar when it warms up. Not happy this time. 3 5 1

JR Ultimate No. 1 Very good 4 5 1
JR Ultimate No. 1 Wrappers are VERY thin! Out of the pack there were 2 already split in multiple places. Decided to lite it up anyways and it just started splitting more. Horrible cigar. 1 5 1
JR Ultimate No. 1 9 out of 10 are great. A few times they are badly rolled and draw badly. 4 5 1

JR Ultimate No. 1 I prefer the Sultan In Maduro and the J.R.Ultimate Is as close as I can get to the Sultan 5 5 1
JR Ultimate No. 1 Cigars good as always and shipping was good this time 5 5 1
JR Ultimate No. 1 I tried these when my Ultimate 1 maduros were out of stock, thinking I could overlook the wrapper just this once. The difference in taste and construction leaves me pining for my old favorites. Construction could be better, too. Once in a while, you'll get a crunchy, loose wrap, or even a split wrapper. Burns a little hot, a little harsh. 3 5 1
JR Ultimate No. 1 great 4 5 1
JR Ultimate No. 1 Great cigar for the price. It’s a staple for me as I truck through America 5 5 1
JR Ultimate No. 1 Great cigars. Size, taste, draw all excellent. However-- not as good as what I REALLY wanted which were the MADURO versions of the JRHMS3--JRUL13--JRPUC3--JRPUG3 or the JREX13 which i REALLY like but YOU are consistently out of. Hint--raise your stockage level. As always Customer Service is beyond reproach!!!! 5 5 1
JR Ultimate No. 1 A great cigar. Really good flavor and smokes very well. 5 5 1
JR Ultimate No. 1 Like most of JR cigars, the Ultimate No. 1 smokes really well and has a great flavor. 4 5 1
JR Ultimate No. 1 This might become a "go to" for me. I just purchased two bundles. The first 10 or so were off the hook. Great flavor, decent burn and a good draw. However, the last 3 or so have had some uneven burning. I mean at the end of the day it's a $3 stick and a few duds here and there are part of the process but if it weren't for the last 3 or so uneven burning sticks this would easily be a 5 / 5! 3 5 1
