Not a bad cigar, but nothing special about the blend. The Jas Sum Kral Toothpick 2.0 Connecticut is well priced, but the packaging and name aren't going to help it get over the finish line and win over consumers. I think smokers will pay the extra dollars for something more mainstream. There was some transitioning throughout, but the core flavor profile was just lacking. Nice construction, but again, not enough happening.
The Jas Sum Kral Munchies Bananas Foster was pleasant throughout, with the most dynamic flavors coming in the first third. I was hoping for a more intense banana flavor like the intensity from the Munchies Rocky Road. Although this is probably not something I would return to, I appreciate that the flavors are natural and don't have an artificial sweetness or chemical nature to them.
If you are looking to smoke a cigar that tastes like rocky road ice cream, then this Jas Sum Kral Munchies Rocky Road delivers that. It is stronger in flavor in the beginning, mellowing out in the end, but always delivering that rocky road flavor profile. Medium in strength and body throughout, you can really smoke this cigar in the morning or evening.
The latest installment of the Munchies flavor-enhanced premium cigar line is based on the well known dessert...the Bananas Foster. This idea began as another test blend concept that was sent out to many cigar smokers to test drive it. While the Breffus Bananas Foster was a Maduro blend, this offering is a Habano.
The Kralot Black Lion Luxuries Club Exclusive is a 7 x 50 Churchill. Kralot was the name of Jas Sum Kral’s first limited edition which was released in 2018. The Kralot Black Lion Luxuries Club Exclusive differs from that original release in that it uses an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper instead of a San Andres wrapper.
The Jas Sum Kral Munchies are made at Tabacalera Aragon in Esteli, Nicaragua with a Mexican San Andres wrapper. The binder and filler remain a company secret. The first release is the JSK Munchies Rocky Road, but other enhancements will soon follow.
290 boxes of 12 cigars (3480 cigars) are currently en route to Kind Cigars in Helsingborg, Sweden. The size of the cigars is 5½x48. The wrapper is a 4-year-old Mexican Maduro over a Nicaraguan Criollo 98 Ligero binder. The filler comes from the Nicaraguan regions Condega, Jalapa and Somoto.
The brand new lounge in Fishtown, Philadelphia, PA opened its doors on June 19. And now there is a Lou Liga exclusive Jas Sum Kral, the Jas Sum Kral Fish Scale. The Fish Scale is the first in a series of different blends and vitolas that Jas Sum Kral and Lou Liga Cigar Lounge are planning to release in the next few years.
Jas Sum Kral is releasing a shop exclusive 5x50 Robusto of the Fuck the FDA blend. A smaller version of the regular production vitola which measures 6x52. Only 500 bundles of 10 cigars are available. The blend is exactly the same with a Mexican San Andres wrapper over an undisclosed filler and binder.
The Jas Sum Kral Stateline had a nice combination of flavors through the first two thirds and then dropped to average in the final third when char joined in. To me, most store exclusives tend to be a bit of a letdown, but in this instance, I felt the cigar was a nice surprise. There was a nice balance between flavor and strength which is always appreciated. I'd recommend people seek this out and give it a try.
