About six or eight months ago, a Forums member mentioned that J&R Cigar outlets were changing their format and marketing somewhat. As I recall this was in the direction of cigar (and perhaps pipe) lounges. At the time, it was difficult for me to visualize how these retailers located off major highways dependent on stops by motorists, mostly travelers, would attract what I see as foot traffic clientele to a smoking lounge, but I'd be interested to know how this is working, or what the new format might be. It's a sort of day trip, or at least a bit of a drive, for me to check it out, and I wonder if anyone else had visited a J&R and can describe how it's working.
