JR Cigar has announced a luxury version of it’s budget friendly JR Alternatives and JR Ultimate. The first release will be a series of limited-edition cigars known as JR Pure Origin: Gran Vulcano. It takes its name from the use of tobaccos from the volcanic island of Ometepe in Lake Nicaragua in that Central American nation.
“For more than 50 years, JR has not only been selling the world’s finest cigars, we have also been creating some of the most popular brands on the market,” says Davide Moro, CEO of JR Cigar. “With this newest endeavor – Pure Origin – we are entering the luxury market with something truly unique and exceptional for our customers. “Pure Origin is something most cigar enthusiasts haven’t often experienced and our first offering – Gran Vulcano – is only the first in a line of many new and exciting releases to bring these exotic tobaccos from around the world right to your humidor.”
The JR Pure Origin: Gran Vulcano was blended in partnership with Rafael Nodal and Nestor Plasencia. It uses aged Ometepe Habano tobacco for the filler and binder, along with some additional fillers from Jalapa, and is finished off with a flawless, Habano wrapper from the Jalapa valley. Its medium bodied blend is the perfect combination of sweet and spicey. The Ometepe tobaccos provide a deep, rich tone with dashes of baking spice and earth. The Jalapa wrapper adds in hints of tobacco sweetness as well as a creamy finish.
JR Pure Origin: Gran Vulcano cigars come packaged in elegant boxes of 10, all made from 100% recycled, sustainable materials, and available in three classic vitolas:
- 5X50 Robusto ($120 per box, $12 per single)
