Guys, while I have shopped with JR for over 25 years, I am so pissed at
them right now that I may never buy from them again.

I just wanted to get the specials JR's offered. Now I don't really
want to buy from them any more.

I am a fan of Puroexpress and I'll certainly look at CoH, but even with
Monte #4s at $4 a pop from Wal Baranow, both these folks are going to
be more expensive than my daily fare. Maybe I overreacted, but I get a
catalog, order from it and find that it is out of date even though, by
their own description, it should still be good (the new catalog had not
been mailed).

In cigar content, I (got pissed at JR's and instead of ordering from
them) ordered, among many other things, two bundles of Cigars
International's Super-Premium Seconds -- Rothschilds. I am one of the
few people who think that there is a difference between Hoyo and Punch
Rothschilds. I have had distributors tell me that they are identical
but many years ago the blender at the Villazon factory that made them
said that I was right, that they are a different blend. Now, I have
never bought the S-P2 Rothschilds because I thought that the claim that
they were Punch and Hoyo seconds was all a bunch of hype. Smoked
one.... Boy was I wrong. They seem about a 50-50 mix of what I
consider Punch and Hoyo de Monterrey. I have two more bundles on
backorder and as soon as these are shipped to me, you should all go out
and get one. Good smokes. I think I'll light one now.
