Visiting JR's Cigars in Statesville was one of the oddest experiences I have ever had.  The building is a converted K-mart style warehouse store.  Step inside and it's like a giant dirty flea market. Cheap perfume, books everywhere, t-shirts, cigarettes, Zippos, and assorted touristy gee-gaws.

The back 1/3 of the store is a giant walk-in humidor.  Boxes of cigars everywhere, narrow aisles and an extra large waist high glass counter for single cigars.  They do have a large selection of cigars and the prices are very attractive.  The staff is friendly and somewhat knowledgeable.    

There are no TV's in the "lounge", but they do have several leather sofas and chairs to relax on.  Will I return again??  I can't turn away...

The back 1/3 of JR's Outlet store contains their walk-in humidor.
