Already checked the Gatlin-burlier web site and only found 3 offerings for SYO tobacco. Very disappointing!

I was a Pro Photographer in that area for a number of years. (Lots of wildlife and nature photo ops there). So I got to know the place a little.
The photo is just a Deer shot from there. (just kind of playing around with the photo option thing :)
There are a ton of tobacco shops in that town and around the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg area. here they are, with phone numbers and all

I don't know when I will be back up there. The trip was in June. I also looked up sites as you did, but the problem is that many "tobacco" shops really only deal with the prepackaged cigs and the most mundane of common SYO/RYO tobaccos, if any.

At the time I wrote the original message, I was hoping someone would have personal knowledge of a particular store or stores that would be worth visiting so as not to waste time calling or driving to the various stores only to find out what I already suspect for most if not all of them.
In the end, I simply made a double batch of my own blend and stuffed about 4 packs (Smoky cases) ahead. Turned out I almost didn't need to stuff any on the trip as the 4 Smoky cases held almost enough for the whole trip.
Thanks anyway.

Having grown up there, I can safely say that the reason there are few decent tobaccos (not that I would know because I'm new to SYO) is because all the old timers who roll still use Bugler like it's the only baccy in the world. I grew up watching all of my older relatives roling those.

But the whole Sevier County area is so grown together now, the surrounding area doesn't seem so bad. :)

God, I miss TN. I live in Phoenix now but the Smokeys will always be home.

Just up the road in Kingsport, Rocky Top Country. Came back from Nam in 69 and kissed the ground, and never left.
