JM’s Dominican

It was the Dominican Republic where JM Cigar founder John Mahroukian first looked to create his initial line of premium private-label cigars. A daily smoker who had tried his first premium cigar as a birthday gift from his son, Mahroukian ordered 10,000 smokes of his personal blend to be created before knowing how and where he would sell them. In returning to the Dominican flavors that inspired his initial foray into the business, Mahroukian and the entire team at JM has created the quintessential daily smoke. In fact, that’s how the JM company markets the Dominican line, perfect for smokers of all palate types and blended to be the stick you choose day in and day out. The Dominican line from JM Cigars has a handful of different wrappers to ensure that everyone has an option. There is the medium-full bodied Habano wrapper, the mellow-bodied Connecticut wrapper, the medium-full bodied San Andres Mexican wrapper and the mellow-bodied Sumatra wrapper. Each one is wrapped around a delectable and balancing Connecticut Broadleaf binder and filler tobacco sourced from Cuban seed in the Dominican Republic. Depending on which wrapper style one chooses, the resulting flavors offer a different array of tastes and notes. For example, the Habano wrapper brings an earthiness, spiciness, coffee note and some woodsiness to the table, balanced with the creaminess offered from the Connecticut binder. The Connecticut wrapper binder combination is going to offer a very subtle spice with more vanilla, lighter woods and sweet creams while the San Andres Mexican wrapper will give off notes of almond, dark cocoa, spices and black pepper. Rounding out the lineup available through Cigars.com, the Sumatra wrapper is going to be for those who enjoy a mellow-medium bodied smoke and notes of cinnamon, earth and some floral notes as well. Because JM is so affordable, this is a great opportunity to purchase multiple boxes and experiment. At this price point, it’s the perfect entry into the world of fine cigars and especially various wrapper types, which can often become confusing and overwhelming for new smokers. One thing is for certain when it comes to the entire line from the JM brand: the passion shines through, with incredible flavor, expert construction and a family of smokes that is worth coming back to time and time again. Grab your 50-count boxes at a price you won’t believe.
