someone should start a thread about all the JR alts and how they suck or why do you hate on them or do you like them or something like that...

or don't and say we did

Lenny, glad you like them specially at that price. If you ever want to part with a 5er (of those) shoot me a line, I would send $$ first and get my feet wet at the same time.

I never noticed anything peppery about a Padron Anniversary....

maybe alternative means opposite?

This threw me when I first read the thread, but I figured, "Maybe I'm smoking them wrong?" I do get a nice spice, but definitely don't find them to be peppery.

That said, I wondered about these alternates when I saw them last week at the JR in Selma. Didn't wonder enough to buy them, but I did wonder.

JR in Selma sucks. I went their last week, they had absolutely no prices up (probably due to SCHIP), no one would take the time to help me out, they acted like they didn't want my business, so I left. The JR in Statesville has always been great to me though.

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.

Of interest, I've seen some of the JR Alts and Cuban Counterfeits in some B&M's out this way in the past too
