Our Story
JT Reserve was founded on a shared belief that great cigars should reflect both heritage and craftsmanship. The brand was created by Michael Tuon and Elwis Johnson, longtime friends who first connected through the College Success Foundation and later found themselves drawn to the tradition and culture of premium cigars.
Flor de la Isla
JT Reserve cigars are produced under the Flor de la Isla line in the Dominican Republic, one of the most respected regions in the world for premium tobacco.
​
Each cigar is blended with carefully selected leaves and aged to develop complexity, balance, and depth of flavor. The process reflects a commitment to patience and precision. Tobacco must be grown, fermented, aged, and rolled under conditions that allow the natural character of the leaf to fully develop.
​
The result is a cigar that is not rushed, but earned through time and craftsmanship.
Our Philosophy
At JT Reserve, we believe that cigars are about more than tobacco.
​
They are about time.
​
The time spent aging the leaf.
The time spent refining a blend.
The time shared with friends, family, and conversation.
​
A great cigar should mark a moment worth remembering.
​
That is the purpose behind every cigar we produce.
Our Commitment
JT Reserve is committed to maintaining the highest standards of quality, craftsmanship, and authenticity.
​
Every cigar we release reflects careful blending, thoughtful aging, and a respect for the tradition of premium cigar making.
We believe that excellence is not rushed, and the best cigars are those that are allowed to develop naturally.
JT Reserve exists to honor that tradition.
