Given the choice, I would take JR Burlington.

But, I will say this, once you've been to Selma a few times, you'll know the staff - and they are a hilarious bunch of guys who are very down to earth.

Statesville was the first time I met ANYONE at a JR's that was so stuck up it wasn't funny...yeah.....in Statesville....go figure....

Andy - Next time you go to Selma gimme a call - I'm only 54 miles down the road!!! (exit 41)

A long time has past since then and am not sure what the quality may be at now.

Main thing is, that "you" enjoyed them and that's what really counts now isn't it?

The Cohiba Sig IV Alts still rock!

I'll remember that the next time I go to a Mudcats game. Have to get off at the Selma exit to get to the stadium.

Their only 23.99 a bundle? That's before SCHIP went into effect.
