Founded in California by John Mahroukian, JM’s Cigars was built on a simple belief: premium cigars shouldn’t come with a premium price tag. That vision led to the creation of the Espanola 1996 Maduro, the brand’s debut release and enduring crown jewel.

This 5×50 Robusto is a masterclass in balance and craftsmanship. A dark San Andres Maduro wrapper encases a Connecticut Broadleaf binder and a thoughtful mix of Dominican seco and ligero fillers. The result is a medium-to-full-bodied smoke that’s both rich and refined.

From the first draw, roasted nuts and sweet cedar take the lead, followed by subtle notes of cocoa, leather, and a touch of floral. Construction is spot-on, offering a smooth draw, seamless roll, and consistently even burn.

Whether you’re a seasoned smoker or new to the scene, the Espanola 1996 Maduro delivers remarkable depth at a wallet-friendly price. Available in boxes of 20, it’s a legacy-defining cigar that punches far above its weight—and it’s ready to order now at JR Cigars.

Meet the newest addition to the Deadwood family—the Deadwood Dominicana Toro. While it steps away from the bold aromatics of the original line, this cigar offers a more refined, mellow-bodied experience with the same signature sweetness Drew Estate is known for.

At the heart of this blend are Dominican fillers from the famed Jose Mendez & Co. fields, wrapped in a smooth Ecuadorian Connecticut leaf and bound with a dark San Andres binder. The 6×50 Toro format gives the flavors room to evolve with every draw.

Notes of cedar, cream, and cocoa lead the way, with hints of vanilla and a buttery finish rounding out the profile. It’s a fresh take on the Deadwood style—softer, smoother, and just as enjoyable.

Now available in boxes of 10 at JR Cigars, the Deadwood Dominican Toro is perfect for fans looking to explore a different side of the brand.

Since 1996, Rocky Patel has been behind some of the world’s most sought-after blends—and now he’s redefining broadleaf with the DBS (Double Broadleaf Selection) Robusto.

This 5.5 x 50 standout features a bold, innovative blend: a Mexican San Andres Maduro wrapper encases a dual Broadleaf core—USA Pennsylvania and Nicaraguan Broadleaf binder, filled with Honduran and Nicaraguan Broadleaf tobaccos. The result? A medium-to-full-bodied experience that’s as rich in complexity as it is in craftsmanship.

Expect toasty notes, warm spices, and subtle cocoa, evoking the cozy feel of sipping a spiced espresso by the fire on a snowy night. Lush in aroma and beautifully constructed, the DBS is a must-try for broadleaf fans.
