My vacation acquisitions

PappyJoe

On vacation in NE Tennessee.  So far I’ve visited The Shamrock in Johnson City and The Gatlinburlier in Gatlinburg.

@PappyJoe, if you're still in the area, shoot me a PM.  I live in Hawkins County and would love to get together if you're around the Kingsport area.  Tobacco Road in Kingsport would be a good place to meet.  Thanks.

@PappyJoe Throughout my travels in Indiana I have yet to come upon a tobacco shop for the pipe smoker. But when I do I'm going to stock up on whatever house blends they have no matter what the cost. It would be my Christmas present to myself.

Black Jacks Bourbon and the Rum & Maple might be a great smokes.  Just might check out their website.

@TeCarp If I had time this time around I would take you up on that but unfortunately we only have one more day and we are spending it with our grandsons. My son we are visiting lives in Johnson City so when we come up later this year, I'll work it into the visit.

@Charles Haven't tried those two yet but I'll let you know when I do. The Cade's Cove Cavendish is similar to Lane 1Q but I like it better. I was told it had a vanilla sugar cookie aroma this morning.

@PappyJoe, next time you're up this way, we'll definitely have to plan something.

@Charles I have now smoked one bowl of each and can’t decide which of the five Gatlinburlier blends is the best. I do rank Rum & Maple over the Black Jacks Bourbon but not by much. Cade’s Cove and Mellow Moonshine are probably going to be the top two. Champagne Chalet is close behind the others and definitely reminds me of another Blend that supposedly topped with champagne but I can’t think of the name.

Sounds like they are all winners then @PappyJoe.  I will be placing an order with them in the next few days then.  Much appreciated, thanks!
