Originally launched in 2011, the JFR brand, which stands for Just For Retailers, is a price-conscious brand that was made to be sold by brick and mortar retailers. Made by Casa Fernández in Estelí, Nicaragua, the line is also known for its multitude of vitolas in larger ring gauges, particularly the 7 x 70 size which it was one of the pioneers of just a few years ago. In July, Casa Fernández announced plans to release two different lines under the JFR brand: XT Corojo and XT Maduro. Each of the new releases are blended to have more strength and body than the original lines, and each are further differentiated by a the addition of a foot band and a soft box press as well. The JFR XT Corojo uses AGANORSA Nicaraguan tobacco for the binder and filler and is covered by a Nicaraguan corojo wrapper, while the XT Maduro incorporates a Mexican San Andrés cover leaf over AGANORSA Nicaraguan tobaccos. There will be three different vitolas in the JFR XT Corojo when it launches this month, all in boxes of 24. JFR XT Corojo 654 XT (6 x 54) — $6.92 (Boxes of 24, $166.08) JFR XT Corojo 660 XT (6 x 60) — $7.30 (Boxes of 24, $175.20) JFR XT Corojo 770 ...
