First introduced in 2011, the JFR, which stands for “Just For Retailers,” brand from Casa Fernández is meant to be sold by brick and mortar retailers exclusively. The brand is known for not only for its wallet friendly prices, but also for its multitude of larger ring gauge cigars, including a 7 x 70 and 6 x 60. In November 2014, Casa Fernández posted a photograph of a new cigar to social media that would be the first in a new line for the cigar company. Named JFR Lunatic Mambo, the 8 x 80 belicoso is the inaugural release in JFR brand’s Lunatic line. The JFR brand also includes the original JFR line and the JFR XT, which was introduced earlier in 2014. Blend-wise, the JFR Lunatic Mambo is composed of a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over Nicaraguan tobacco used in the filler and binder, and is rolled at Tabacos Valle de Jalapa S.A. (TABSA) in Estelí, Nicaragua. The cigar is priced at $8.80 each, with boxes of 16 selling for $140.80.
