J R Cigar

Let me start by saying I am by no means a devotee, aficionado or expert cigar smoker. That being said JR Cigars was recommended to me by my brother who is in fact the cigar expert that I am not. So I walk in the place all bight eyed and bushy tailed so excited to get some stogies to go in the humidor that I just procured and spent hours watching youtube to see who had the best method for seasoning said humidor… that’s right I said seasoning (Cigar guys or gals will know what I mean). The big guy behind the counter looked up and then proceeded to ignore me. I didn’t take it personal because it was obvious buy all the printed papers of cigar reviews that I was carrying that I had no clue what I was doing. You would think they would welcome a newby to the dying art of cigar smoking but I digress. There was a little old lady in the back corner who did say hello to me and hurriedly went back to didaling some cigar boxes. There were a couple of young twenty something’s working there as well but hell you know how the millennial’s are they reeked of self entitlement (probably the big guy with the glasses and cigar in his mouth kids). Long story shorter I purchased a couple of 5 pack cigars no thanks to the help, and a rectangle humidifier and hydrometer for the humidor. The big guy in glasses rung up the sale and offered to sell me a torch. (Cigar lighter) I said sure why not so he gives me one right next to the register and says here you go (half full with fluid) so I say do you have any new? He says this is new. I say do you have one in a box? He says they all come like this. I say OH no thanks I will get one from another place. I’m on my way out the door and I hear him say it must be a full moon out. Really a full moon. I will never spend another dime in this place. P. S. They had absolutly none of cigars with the exception of Partages and Oliva that I went there in the first place for. Go to Churchills in Birmingham they appreciate your bussiness.
