For what it's worth, I like JR and buy most of my NCs from them. I'm still a total noob, so please tell me why do people seem to dislike them so much?
I've been looking at that humi for a while and I think that it's beautiful but I don't think that I'd ever pull the trigger on one, though. I have a humi I like and $250 could buy me a lot of stogies. Your donating the sticks to the troops is a very cool thing to do.
I'd be interested in what you think about the humi, so please post some pictures when it arrives.
