It's easier to just order online, google 4 noggins.

In terms of Knoxville, there used to be Knox Cigars, but they closed down last year.

Do you know that their B&M closed? I was under the impression that they just closed their web presence, but I could be wrong I have no direct knowledge one way or the other.

These guys might be worth a try. Their web page looks a little light but they've gone through the trouble to sponsor a pipe club so maybe promising at the B&M.

Don't know how often you make it to Mobile, but there is a Tinder Box in Bel Air Mall. They don't have much in the way of tinned tobacco, but they do have bulk TB blends and a good supply of accessories.

if you don't find a B&M to your liking, I suggest checking out some online. 4 noggins has been mentioned, smokingpipes.com, mars cigars, pipesancigars.com, are a few to check out.

The Knox cigar store is closed, but when I last was there I seem to recall that another cigar store was about to open next door. Might even be the same owners, I don't know.

You are not far from one of the best pipe shops in the SE. The Briary in Homewood has a great selection of everything. The last time I was in there, they gave me a generous sample of Stonehaven with my purchase. Truly a pipe shop and not a cigar store with pipes.

Way to step up and help your fellows.

yea i know the briary and i kneel at its hallowed front steps (just around the corner from the outhouse) and love it but alwas looking for more places. i prefer b&m i like to touch and smell and the like

I find some of the best prices on tobacco at www.marscigars.com. Balkan supreme FTW.

If you find a B&M in the SE that has anywhere near the selection of The Briary please let me know. I haven't found anything in Atlanta that even comes close.

There are plenty of great online resources but I like the hands-on experience as well.

Edwards on Roswell Rd has a decent selection of Wiley and Ardor pipes and the a hand full of other factory made pipes. Craig is the owner and a fellow pipe smoker as well. Very knowledgeable and friendly guy!

I have bought from http://www.jrcigars.com/ in the distant (10 years ago) past. Good service then.

Good prices, but they get you on shipping.

If you are familiar with the online pipe community on Youtube, PipeLawyer frequently posts from Tobacco World which, I believe, is in Atlanta or at least the Greater Atlantaland Area, so you may want to check that out.

I live in Alabama myself, and actually work at a tobacco shop, though we mainly sell cigarettes, though I try to get my boss to diversify lol.

As far as shops, the humidor pipe shop in Huntsville was nice last time I went in, but there selection isn't very large. The was a new place that opened a stones throw from samford last time I was in birmingham, can't remember the name though. Also, in Florence there is a new place that has a decent pipe collection, but they mainly sell cigars. The store I work at, has quite a few estate pipes we are selling for a customer. I have bought 2 petersons from him myself.

It's hard for a lot of little stores to carry much in the way of pipes as they are expensive even wholesale. Most will work with you to get what you want.

The Humidor in Huntsville is great. You should also check out The Briary in B'ham.

Lot of great suggestions here folks, you guys comprise to create quite a resource.
