What I really miss is Knox Cigar, but they've been gone for awhile now. I never cared that much for Leaf and Ale, but it was also too far for me to easily commute to. I like Smoky's a great deal, especially with the new owner. He has increased the pipe tobacco selection tenfold or better and is willing to special order blends, as well.
I am actually a huge fan of the Gatlin-Burlier. If not for them in the early 1990s, I would never have become a pipe smoker. They were my primary B&M for the first ten years I was into this hobby. Yes -- they primarily trade with tourists, which means they mark up their products quite a bit, but they also give a local discount that brings most of their stuff in line with everyone else. I'm not a huge aromatic fan, but their blends are usually a couple of notches up from most aros (as a rule, I'd say they are on par with Boswells). Also, two of their three latakia blends are pretty nice. As for their house pipes -- they've sourced their house pipes from several places over the years so the quality admittedly varies, but most of the time their briars are excellent, IMO. In fact, I consider my G-Burlier pipes to be the best "bang for a buck" I've ever gotten for briars. There was one point in the mid-90s, especially, when they were getting some truly beautiful pipes at very decent prices. They aren't Dunhills or Ardors, of course, but I would put them on par with Stanwells or Savs most of the time.
YMMV, of course!
