I've begun my search, a search that would not have been necessary had I been more diligent in the recent past. I've been a casual pipe smoker for 20 years whose primary pipe shop was 310 Pipe & Tobacco located off the square in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. My two smokes of choice were their custom cherry blend and another custom blend called Stones River. I smoked these for years and even had some shipped to me when I lived in Florida.
I never envisioned the day that the shop would close and so I never took the time to really investigate the source of their house blends. As the shop is closed and I am unable to contact the former owner, I'm left with a tobacco blend that I highly enjoyed but have no idea if I'll ever be able to smoke it again. Does anyone here have any memory or connection with this pipe shop in Murfreesboro? Any useful information will be appreciated.
Unfortunately, my vocabulary and palate are not sophisticated enough to fully describe the blend. My best effort is to describe the blend as medium-dark with the flavor of maple syrup mixed with a hint of cherry. It was a smooth smoke without any harshness associated with smoking English.
