John Mahroukian was a jeweler and an avid cigar smoker who tried his first premium cigar as a birthday gift from his son, Anto Mahroukian. John was delighted with the $20 smoke but was shocked by the price. He then pondered at the thought of whether he could not only make a better cigar but offer it to customers at a more affordable price point. Using his contacts in the Dominican Republic, this is where his jewelry was manufactured, he was able to create his own private label crafted in the Dominican Republic and the result was 10,000 cigars. He didn’t know at the time if they would sell, but he laughed at the thought that at least he will have cigars to fuel his daily cigar habit for the rest of his life. The cigars were a hit and with that Mahroukian founded JM Cigars with a simple goal in mind – creating an incredible catalog of premium cigars with budget friendly pricing. While they may not be luxurious in appearance with its simplistic banding and packaging, especially compared to the other premium sticks on the market, the quality is where it counts most, the taste. JM's Dominican cigars are manufactured by the JM Tobacco Company in Santiago, Dominican Republic and are hand rolled with finely aged Cuban seed tobacco leaves that are grown in the rich soils of the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. JM’s cigars are then wrapped with beautiful Sumatra, Connecticut, Maduro or Corojo wrappers offering strengths ranging from mellow to medium-full so there is a cigar for every palate. JM's Dominican Sumatra cigar, despite its mellow-bodied strength delivers a delectably complex flavor profile of cocoa, coffee, pepper, cinnamon and some floral tones peaking smokers’ interest throughout the entire cigar. The Corojo wrapped cigar is medium to full in body rewarding palates with spiced notes of earth, coffee and wood. Offering a mellow to medium bodied smoke is the JM Dominican Connecticut giving off a delicious honey like aroma and tasting notes of butter, baking spices, almonds, cream, spice and cedar wood. Finally, we have the JM Dominican Maduro whose medium-full bodied profile is for those who love to pair cigars with a cup of coffee or espresso delivering dark flavor notes of roasted almond, dark cocoa, spices, black pepper and cream.
