Shops vs Online

I recently began a quest to find tobaccos from local shops. It began when I fell in love with a couple of blends from Boswell's. Then I found a blend I added to my "love" list from Milan Tobacco's in Raleigh. This past week I tried LJ Peretti's and bought about 8 different blends to sample. Honestly, didn't find the Peretti blends to my liking.
So, what local shop should I try next?

I've bought some blends from 4noggins. Very fine folks. If you're adventurous there is James Fox in Dublin, Ireland. I buy my plugs through them. Their service is outstanding. 5 days from order to my house in Pa. Of course, with the euro gaining on the dollar it is expensive but you won't pay the VAT, which is substantial.

I'm a sucker for very good Virginias, so McCrannies is tops on my list for their single crop Red Ribbon Virginia.

I would try some from Paul Bonacquisti's shop Park Lane tobacco in Clifton Park NY. He has some great English blends. I haven't tried any of his aromatics.

I just lit up some Uhle's #255. They have some interesting blends that go back to the 1930's and their packaging is very good using heavy duty zip lock bags. Keeps tobacco fresh for a very long time.
