Cigar Run!

[PeteSC]

I'll be spending a couple of days around Willville next month to plot out some rides.
  How many Cigar smokers are there out there?
   How many people would be interested in working a stop at J and R Cigars in Statesville into a ride?

  Cigar Smokers would  go nuts there, and the prices are very good.
 Down side, it would probably mean maybe an hour of less than twisty roads to get there, and an hour to get back to the twisties.
 (Part of the trip there would be twisty)
   
    Maybe an real early start, maybe 7, and a stop for breakfast on the way to JR?   We could be in/out of the cigar place and back on good roads by 10 am or so.....

  Just wondering.....

Pete,

Smoking cigars and the use of other tobacco products is gross, disgusting, unhealthy and is only done by total degenerates!  Yes, that means count me in!

[PeteSC]

Figured you'd chime in.....

    I didn't want to stop there as I passed it on the way home.  I swear, the pickup got off exit 50 on I-77 all by itself.  I was screaming...'No..I have enough cigars at home!   NO!!!"
  The truck rolled into the parking lot, the door popped open....well, I had to go in!

  I'll try to work out a route that will get us there without spending too much time on boring roads, but I'm afraid there'll be
 some getting there, and a little less getting out of there.

  I'm thinking an early beeline to Statesville, a stop at the store, maybe a quick breakfast on the way, and then head northwest up to Wilkesboro, and jump on the BRP.

  There's a good Bojangles on I77 for a quick stop for an inexpensive breakfast,  maybe 30 miles away from JR.  (Coffee!)

I don't smoke either, Kevin...come to think of it, I don't drink anymore (Im still working on gluttony with little success)...I have done enough of both to know that I now choose not to do either...However; I still ride like a hooligan and will ride long distances to watch other people spend their money in a manner that I believe to be foolish...so, you and and I will laugh and point when the cigar smokers exit the tobacco shop all giggly from the sensory overload...  ....apologies to any smokers that are now, or may be in the future, offended...

[PitterB4]

I'm sure you will enjoy yourself watching some of us do both to excess!  Just don't make too much noise in the morning!

I received my good looking tee shirts, stickers and coffee mug this morning...talk about quick shipping...excellent....one, fairly serious complaint..the coffee mug has a mug on it that is going to require me to use it left handed....I know that I will forget and use it in my normal right handed fashion...what should I do then...therapy?...seek religion?....cut my right hand off so that it never happens again?  

edited to add:  difficult to joke to an unseen audience....the coffee mug graphic has a small likeness of the webmaster's face on the "drinking side" for right handers...so, in the act of bringing the cup up to drink you are looking directly into the webmaster's eyes, almost lip to lip if you will...I believed it to be humorous (and still do)....I was in no way impugning the quality of the cup....it's a damn good cup with excellent graphics...I may buy another....

[PeteSC]

Which mug did you order, Sloper? was it one with a graphic on one side, only?

   JR Tobacco also has a very strange assortment of 'outlet' type merchandise, also.   Some of it is real junk, some of it not bad.
  This will give the non-smokers something to look at.   They usually have some clothing from the local mills.....shirts...socks....etc.  Some books.....a lot of strange 'bric a brac'.  (NO, not adult relationship 'implements'!)

[sloper10]

That would be the one Pete.....jokes aside, I really like everything that I ordered....I'm wearing the, freshly washed, yellow bandito shirt and drinking coffee from my mug...

[theroamr]

count me in , wouldnt be the same unless some good cigar smoking takes place .

[PeteSC]

Hey Sloper,
  I made up that  'Webmonsters Beer Fund' graphic as kind of a joke!
  I think you're the only person who's actually bought something with it on it!   I'm not sure if you're supposed to feel 'special'.........or gullible....

 
   If I can figure out a route that will take us by JR on a ride, it will be worth it.  It's probably a little out of the way for 'non smokers', and may not be worth working into a ride.   I think at best, it would mean an hour of boring roads to get there, (out of maybe 1 3/4 hour ride to get there from Willville) and a hour or less to get on good roads after leaving there.
 (Maybe heading to Boone from JR)

  Some of you may pass close to JR on the way to the Rally.   It's off of I-77, the first exit south of I-40  in NC.
