WOW!!! A good ol bucket of cigars from JR's . Whos gonna get one!! TT and Don Schenk this looks like a deal for you . Didnt Thompson sell a Bucket'o'Cigars one time. Cigars in a paintcan, A Paintcan full of cigars. I bet there good too(NOT)!!

well i am a jr's junkie, but i think lew has gone too far this time. where in the world did he come up with this crap?

Thats what I was wondering??? What kind of $h!t did he buy this time. Stuff left over from the boom, still in the dominican, and no one has bought it yet. Wow!!

Stogie-dude, First of all, check the size of the cigars; not TT size. If (and I stress "if") they were a large churchill size, I might have bitten on it. As it is, there was no temptation! But THANKS for thinking of me! NOT!

I think we all should have realized this is a dog rocket when the only good thing he can say about them is that they are good for when you are mowing the lawn and when you are passing out cigars to those you despise.

I did like the picture of the can. It said something about cigars not being healthy but not as bad for you as bacon.

MMMmmmm! Bacon!

Gotta give 'em credit-- this is something I never would have thought of in a thousand years. Now is the paint can cedar-lined?
Given that these cigars were made during the boom, to be sold in drug stores, I think I can pass on them without losing a whole lot of sleep over it

Almost as "gimmicky" as the new C.A.O. Italia

Oh, now you went & did it. Now poeople will start lecturing you on the meaning of the term "marketing", as if you've never heard the word before

I'm a JR's junkie and even I chuckled at the paintcan cigars...I didn't bite, but it gave me an idea. A paint can in a carton would make a pretty indestructible container for trades and passes!

Id pass on the can if I were you and concentrate on those LGC you just won. Congrats my friend.

Just looked at the new JR catalog. Can't say that it is that different from Thompsons. What a waste, the place is going down hill quickly.

Veggies are what food eats....where's the beef?

No $h!t! Thats exactly what I said in the "Mocha at JR's" thread a while back.

I'm not giving up on JR yet, but I do use mikescigars.com a lot lately! I still buy quite a bit from JR's. Howevery, things DO look a lot different lately.

I don't think the "gallon o' cigars" idea is *that* far away from things JR has done in the past (assuming that's what some of you are saying). I remember a few years back when they came out with a military-issue ammo box full of Belindas, with "HE-MAN" in stenciled letters on the lid (the box was at least cedar-lined!). The paint can idea isn't much cheesier than that.

' I heard Holts may try to come out with a 'bucket of VSG's';If You can afford it,They will deliver them via armored car!!!!'

Look at this. A couple weeks ago Stoge got reamed for saying JR's is turning to crap, now there's a whole thread agreeing on it.

I heard that the paint can, the one full of cigars, can, get this, double as a humidor! You just need to add your own spanish cedar and humidifying device and blamo, you've got yourself a designer humidor that would cost you around twenty dollars at the Home Depot (and you'd have to empty and clean it.) This beauty is perfect for the office or the garage!

hey, I agreed with Stoge. of course it seems we do that a lot

I guess I should of said just about everyone.

Thanks guys! One day people are ripping me a new $h!t hatch and then the next day their patting me on the back for the same thing. I guess they finally figured out the point I was trying to make.
