Of you are a c I garage aficionado this is a stop you must make when in the NC Burlington area. Great prices with deep discounts and if you have served additional discounts added on top of already discounted prices. Plenty of parking, great staff, and in addition to the large humidor, they also have a cigar lounge, other tobacco products and decent wine selection. read more

Coming home from a long weekend of fishing in Southport with my buddy, we stopped here on the way home. The plan was to sit in the smoke room and enjoy a stick, then be on our way. When we got there, we found d out they were having a shindig for NFL opening game day. Neither of us is a sports fan, but we're always down for a shindig They had free boneless wings, a few types of sandwiches, and deviled eggs on the house. We bought a couple of Leather Rose torpedoes, a couple of beers, grabbed a plate of chow, and chilled! After finishing our cigars, food, and a beer or three, we decided to get going since we wanted to get home. And since we're men and we didn't need any cigars, we decided the smart thing to do was to cruise the mega humidor room to see what we couldn't live without Tim took some time to walk around and talk about their many specials. All the guys in here (and Donna, too) are amazing. Their knowledge is impressive, and the customer is king here. Imagine if a Chick-fil-A drive thru and the Amazon return process had a baby. That baby would be how you're treated here. MAGNIFICENT After probably 30 minutes of engaging conversation, we left with plenty of stuff we "really needed" COUGH COUGH This is far from our first visit (I was going here back when they used the entire store and had all the other stuff). It will be far from our last, too. Do yourself a favor and stop in. Talk to the gang, learn, chillax, and meet some great people while grabbing some smokes from their crazy big collection. 5 stars all day, baby! read more

My husband met a guy a few years ago on a cruise who told me about JR Cigars. Ever since then he's been ordering online. We happened to fly into Raleigh and be driving towards Greensboro and all a sudden there was a huge sign for JR Cigars Outlet. Of course we had to stop. They have a very Large selection. Friendly staff. And great deals. read more

First of all I love to smoke cigars so visiting here was a planned stop going through Burlington. Surprised to see a nice selection of wines at a fair price once you get in the place. The humidor is huge and well stocked. I also liked that they had a nice selection of five packs and small boxes of cigars. The thing I found a little confusing was pricing stickers. It would give a MSRP price of box and individual cigar and the JR box price. Didn't always see their individual cigar price. If you like cigars this is a must stop for their selection. read more

Excellent selection of cigars and service. Got me in and out in no time. Ample parking. It's a huge parking lot. There's a large selection of smokeless tobacco and cigarettes as well. This is a smokers haven. I'm not a smoker but this is where I would go if I were. there is active smoking, so you will smell like smoke after you leave. Just wanted to throw that in there. This is not the place you want to purchase tobacco products if you don't like or don't want to smell like smoke read more

I've been through a few humidors over the years and never quite found the right one. With a cedar box, it's like having tropical fish. Constantly caring and regulating the environment. Found an airtight plastic humidor with a built in hydrometer for $20. Add the Relative Humidity (RH) gel packet and I have the perfect environment for storage. Good instructional videos for continued education. Finally, they've got every cigar you can think of enjoying. Fast and free shipping in airtight packaging. read more

I'm a novice. Help through the store, steer me towards milder cigar to start with. I appreciate that. I've enjoyed every cigar they have recommended. I will return soon. read more

Buyers Beware! Stopped by here on my way back from Durham & bought 2 cartons of Marlboro Gold menthol. I was so mad when I lit those $80.00 a carton STALE CIGARETTES! I called to see if I could return the other in opened carton and they said No. They are so bad I can't even smoke them. read more

I've driven past this place a few times and I've seen their billboards a hundred times. Today was the first time that I was in no rush and figured that I would finally check it out. And the verdict is that it's as the earlier review says. This place is half Wal-Mart and half flea market. I suppose that they have a selection of "core" items but the rest seems to be whatever the buyer could get a good deal on. Hats, jeans, cowboy boots, suitcases, toys, towels (rainbow of colors), books, and too many more to list. I walked in with the expectation that I wasn't going to be buying anything at all, but I was 20 feet into the store and I found two things. I had to circle back for a shopping trolley. In the end, I got a pair of gloves, a very nice leather wallet ($7), a pair of "irregular" Wrangler jeans ($15, I still can't figure out what was wrong with them), a Chicago Cutlery kitchen knife ($8) and a few other bits and bobs. Considering that I wasn't planning any purchase, the $50 total at the register was a bit of a surprise because I bought a good bunch of stuff. None of it junk. I have no comment on the cigarettes or cigars as those aren't my sins. read more

Strange that I have seen this place advertised all over the place for it's mail order cigars at discounted prices so I was dumbfounded to find my self making a trek to the homeland. Well after getting there, I would say its not all that, they sell a bunch of CRAP but the cigarettes are cheep and the cigar section well thats is worth making the trip. You walk into this huge section with thousands if not 10s of thousands of cigars and not just the low end stuff the high end stogies can be found here. Picked up some Nat Shermans and a couple of Partaga double coronas. Very much worth it. Smoke Up read more

Greatest value great job on products thank you for quick product delivery. Quality is always so pro on each carton

If you have to smoke - they have low prices and even carry American Spirit natural cigs - right off hwy

Service is professional and polite. Always helpful and well stocked. Worth the drive from Winston Salem.

I was in the area on a road trip and saw a sign, had remembered this place from a visit about 25 years ago and decided to stop. The selection was incredible and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Prices were quite good compared to online and cigar shops. Wish I lived closer! read more

"He walked on sucking his cigar, and apparently in as abstracted a mood as Mr. Cargill himself." -- Sir Walter Scott People hate driving with me for two reasons: First, I smoke cigars. Secondly, I have a tendency to get distracted by billboards and stop a lot, I mean a lot. JR Cigars hits both of these idiosyncrasies spot on with me. I really am a sucker for free orange juice, the world's largest anything, and shiny things while I am driving across state lines. JR Cigars did a great job of placing billboards all along the highway, teasing me, taunting me, with it's promises of a huge humidor and low prices. I couldn't resist the siren's call and found myself pulling in to a very busy parking lot of equally swept up tourists. The store itself is huge, and had I not been focused on finding the humidor, I might have spent a while walking the aisles. Instead I bee-lined it to the back of the store and walked in to the "humidor" which was actually the entire cigar shop. The cigar selection is enormous, and prices were very good on many brands. Signage and pricing weren't the best, with many cigars and boxes prices, and no employees that were readily available to help on the floor. I picked up some La Gloria and H.Upmann cigars, both at about 40% off of what the local cigar shops charge per stick. Mission accomplished! Back on the road again. Wait. What's that? World's Largest 10 Commandments? read more

Always a quick response and fast delivery. Great choices at reasonable prices. Avoid "BIG SALES"- cigars in these are older and possibly dried out and stale. I have been buying from JR for over 40 years (including their former NYC location). read more

Stacy hit the classification nail on the head. On our way home from a short vacation out toward Charlotte we decided to stop. We're kind of wishing we had that 45 minutes back. I'm not a fan. The "Big Lots but bigger" atmosphere was okay but it was even less appealing than Big Lots. As an ex smoker, I'm not a fan of cigars or cigarettes so the tobacco portions of the store didn't impress me either. The place seems more like a tourist trap (based on advertising) than a serious shopping experience. We can say we stopped, we shopped and didn't spend much time or money there. read more

This is a great place to shop for cigars. They have an immense variety - almost all the major brands, except for ones like Davidoff, and they have a large number of JR brands, almost a comparable cigar for each one carried by the major brands - and much cheaper, usually. I buy some JR brands, but my preferred small cigar is the Macanudo Ascot which comes in a 10 cigar tin - the price here comes out to less than $1.50 per cigar - at most places around town the price is over $2. The folks that work here know their cigars, and are always helpful. I know cigars are not for everyone, and smoking anything, anytime has been demonized, but in my own backyard patio, I still very much like the smell and taste of a decent cigar. read more

Great prices and great selection. Staff is super nice and knowledgeable. I picked up a humidor and a bunch of cigars.

By the billboards and their signage, they make a large claim (see pictures). Since I've ordered cigars from them online/catalog before, I decided to make a detour off my trip and see what all the fanfare was about. What I found was a mish-mash of knick-knacks at fairly good prices. You will find books, jeans,boots, toys, perfumes, tobacco, zippos, towels, and other random stuff. Go if you are in the market for cigars, tobacco or perfumes/colognes or if you are bored---they have great selection for those items. read more

An outstanding example of the outlet store. I often stop here going from SC-NY. Staff is helpful without being pushy. They are there to answer whatever questions you might have. The separate humidor is stocked with a huge variety of cigars and related accessories. Cigarettes are covered with an excellent selection of brands at killer prices. Be sure to get a catalogue for the cigars in the humidor. Keep up the good work, JR! read more

If you're a lover of pipes or cigars please stop by for 5 minutes and talk to Philip who is Lord of the pipes. Then go grab you some cherry shine a local strain of tobacco with sweet southern notes. A true novelty to take home with you! My experience with the level of service and the options they have there were phenomenal ! I will definitely be road tripping back here soon ! I purchased a pipe. I also purchased tobacco and cigars as well. I suggest this establishment to any enthusiasts passing through the area with 15 minutes to spare. 5 stars JR read more

The most amazing cigar store I've ever seen. This place is huge! Wish I'd had more time to explore but stopped by this place on the way back from vacation so time was limited. Was able to explore the pipe section and even though tin selection was a little limited I was able to find a couple hard to find blends. John was very helpful and friendly during checkout. Highly recommend this place since it's super easy to get to being right off the interstate. Subtracting one star only because of limited tin selection. As far as cigar selection goes though I'm not sure they can be beat. read more

Well after reading reviews after my cigar order I thought "oh no". But I received my cigar boxes 25 cigars and 20 cigars with an additional 10 cigars as a promo in great condition. I opened the boxes checked the cigars and the promo 10 and all good. Great condition actually. The shipping took a bit longer than I thought but no fault to JR as they give you a tracking number and I followed and it and the carrier delivering took longer than expected. This was my first order with them and I had a good experience. Order #9006853 Godfrey Bronx New York read more

I've heard multiple good things about this place. As much as I pass it going up and down the highway, I never stopped. I had smoked a cigar with a good friend of mine and it quickly became my favorite. The only place I could find it was JR. For my first experience, it was great. The staff was attentive and constantly asked if there was anything they could do to help me or if I had any questions. I even learned a lot about different varieties & flavor profiles. I'll definitely be back. I plan to stop anytime I'm in the area. read more

As a raconteur of the second or third water (I'm in training to become a raconteur of the first water, but I'm still a little bit on the "murky" side) I have learned to enjoy some of the finer things that life has to offer. * An incredibly beautiful, loving and wholly undeserved wife...the Beautiful Carin * An astonishingly pleasant and luxurious life in scenic Newport Beach, California (otherwise known as "The Garden of Eden for Old, Rich People") * A spiritual life that gently creates my music of the spheres as "Karma Dancer" (my Yogi name) practices yoga and ponders the meaning of life Back in my day (a phrase that means that it is no longer, in fact, "my day"), I would go to yoga practice so that all the younger acolytes could see and interact with Karma Dancer...you know...throw the youngsters a bone now and then. Let them see the very best in middle age vinyasa. And after yoga practice, mind and body at one and with my special inner peace firmly secured, I would go to meditate...at a taco or burger joint...preferably one that sold whiskey. No better place to quietly contemplate your navel. But these days, my ritual "after practice" meditation routine is a little different...no greasy double bacon cheeseburgers and Glenfiddich for Karma Dancer...no, these days the retox of system has to be accomplished by setting fire to one of the best things invented by man...a cigar. I don't get all of my cigars from any one source...some come to me from the Caribbean or a little shop in Hamilton, Bermuda...some come from friends that are kind enough to send me cigars from London or Prague...some even come from the local shops that are nice enough to let me stop by and fondle their offerings from time to time. But I get a bunch of my humidor fodder from the nice folks at JR Cigar! Why, you ask me? Well, the biggest reason is that they sell the darn things at very reasonable prices...my beloved La Gloria Cubana Serie R #6 (the Dominican's...not the Cubano's), for example, sell for around $22.00 a pop at the local shops, what with the sin taxes, mark-ups and what not...but I can buy 24 of them from JR for around $150.00...even with my limited math skills, I can see that JR Cigars has a better deal! One of the wonderful things that all this yoga and meditation and enlightenment has taught me, is that spending more than I need to on earthly pleasures makes my peepee hurt...so I try to save dough wherever I can. JR Cigars very nicely fills in the blank spots in my humidor with a minimum of urological discomfort! Yay! I order online and the cigars arrive in a couple of days, fresh as a daisy and ready to spend a few days "seasoning" in my humidor before I use the softly glowing end of one of them as my meditation "focal point", while I sit in the hot tub and unravel the mystery's of the universe. In a world where I can't drink the whiskey or eat the gigantic enchilada style burritos anymore, a place like JR Cigar's helps me cling to some of my remaining vices...er pleasures. read more

This place has giant advertisement painted on their building which you can see from the Interstate 85 / 40. Problem is none of the items listed on the sign are actually being sold in the store except cigarettes and cigars. It is purely a tobacco store, why don't they just say that! Bait and switch is illegal in this country! I don't think regular would want their name on the building when they have no Wrangler clothes inside! read more

I'm giving JR 5 stars, not because it's the best store ever, but because they know who they are and stick with what works. We visit once a year to start our holiday shopping~ it's a great place to find unique gifts. After Thanksgiving you'll see full busses of people arriving to shop here. There's a man cave/camping section at the entrance, followed by menswear, a huge cigar store, collectable dolls, books, women's and children's clothing, a large cosmetics/perfume section, toys, garden ornaments, housewares, pet accessories, beach-themed gifts, holiday decorations, a huge assortment of candy, and a wine section. read more

If i could give them a 0 star i would. Let me explain the worst racial discrimination i have ever experienced in my life. Me and my wife we're visiting Greensboro. We recently moved to Maryland. So we we're both excited to see friends we haven't seen since moving to Maryland. And after leaving this store it gave us both a sense of depression. A little background on me and my wife..... First off we own a convenient store in Salem, NC. and we recently opened one in greensboro so knowing that there's a JR closer to that location our manager at the greensboro location could travel to this location instead of our manager at our Salem location coming from Salem all the way to Greensboro and/ or meeting each other half way. So back to the review.... My wife helped me bring some items to the counter.Now as Im still shopping for OUR store the lady behind the counter requested my wife to pull her mask down. My wife does so and then the lady looks to the lady next to her and says out loud. "like i thought." She then asks for my wife's ID. Remind you I was the one shopping she was standing by the front counter waiting for me to finish. Matter of fact she says to the same lady( I wish i knew her name) "if u want i can put this back for you" because i decided to get a full case instead of a single pack. And then puts the single pack back where it was. Now if the employee didnt want her to do so she could have just said no. My wife is always wanting to help. All she wanted to do is help this employee from having to walk all the way around from behind the counter to put something I put up on the counter back. We all know its apart of the employee's job but it was right there. My wife tells her she forgot her ID but she does have something that proves she is over 21. REMIND EVERYONE WE WERE THERE FOR ME. My wife shows her and she said she could not accept that. So we were thinking my wife had to just leave the store. After verifying that my wife is in fact over 21 the lady says she cant sell ME the tobacco....... Now she originally thought my wife was under age maybe because the scarf set I bought her covered her entire face. But after she knew my wife is over 21. ME the person that was the customer from the first place could NOT continue with MY PURCHASE. 20 minutes later after dropping my wife off at work I go back and the SAME lady says she cant sell me tobacco. Now earlier before all this happened me and my wife both witness this SAME lady not id MULTIPLE people that entered the store. Not the customer or the individual they were accompanied by. My wife thinks we should contact a lawyer cause there was definitely racially discriminating against us. Because she was not the one purchasing the products so her age did not matter and if that's the case why didn't you verify the couple that just left. We both believe it was because we were black. I will never ever take my business there again. They lost a very substantial customer TODAY. We are very familiar with the JR OUTLET in Salem, but we have NEVER been racially separated and/or felt soooo inhumane EVER. There's no sign or security at the front door to verifying ID's. There's NO law that states that you have to have a valid(non expired) drivers license or ID to be in the store. It STATES no one under 21 can be in the store. My wife was not the customer I was plus My wife is 33. They NEED to do something about this because my wife is serious about talking to a lawyer. This was my wife's first encounter with this lady but I have been in there several times and she follows me while im shopping but this time she definitely went TOOO FAR. Worst thing about all of this is the lady Im speaking of I think shes the manager. She was polite but spoke in a "you are beneath me" tone. My wife does get that she looks young alot and even when she forgets her id in the car she has NEVER had anyone make her feel like this lady did in this store. Its just SAD!!!!!!!!! But I will be needing to find me a new distributor for my business‍‍‍ read more

The signs for this place are everywhere! Seeing as how they spent so much on advertising, I figured I should at least help out and stop. The place is kind of creepy. It's a big warehouse with a lot of cheap crap in it. It reminded me of places my grandmother would take me when I was little. I was allowed to find one toy that, of course, would break the next week. Anyway, I was once dating a guy who was really into cigars. We came here, and I have to say that we were impressed by the selection and set-up. As I don't know much about cigars, I can't comment too much, but I don't think you'll be disappointed. The salespeople were very polite, and I found it pretty amusing when one guy asked for good, cheap cigars. The sales guy asked his manager where he could "find the chea- ah, uh *ahem* I mean inexpensive cigars for this gentleman." read more
