Just thought some might come down....

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.

I don't dislike them but don't buy anything from them either but most of what I smoke is not available through them and some things that I do I can often find better deals elsewhere. I even have an Outlet a little over an hour away and still don't bother with them although two people I know have had issues with beetle outbreaks recently after stocking up at the Outlet so that too has not helped in my motivation to get in the car and drive that far when I have so many other better options locally. Not to mention the rest of the JR Outlet is rather trashy and attracts the crowd to follow.

I have been there, on our way home from N.C. to Ohio last summer. It reminds me of a 'Big Lots' or 'Odd Lots'.

The humidor area is HUGE. It is a separate, segregated area of the store but the strange thing is that when you walk in you notice the gigantic humidifiers in the ceiling, constantly spewing out vapor.

It almost seems *too* humid. You are IN a humidor the size of a small convenience store. Boxes of cigars are out on shelves all over the place, pipe tobacco is in a small area connected to the larger cigar side.

I did not see a single brand there that I thought was worth buying, and no real deals. I probably wouldn't ever stop back there again.

If I recall correctly, in the shopping center area, there was an outside store that looked more like your average Tinder Box, but it was closed that day.
