Welcome to the forum. I find myself in Lenoir, NC quite often to see family. There's a decent B&M in Hickory.

Welcome from Central Florida. I was once from NC. Sounds like you made an impressive score at your B&M. I've been smoking pipes for better than ten years and have never laid eyes on anything from Esoterica. Honestly, though, I've never really look for it

Welcome from East Tennessee

I grew up in Morristown and lived in Gatlinburg for a while. Still have family in Dandridge!

Just received a Missouri Meershaum and a tin of Dunhill Standard Mixture Mellow for Christmas from my boss and have been hooked ever since. Last night I ordered a new Kaywoodie Briar for myself, and my collection has already grown to include several tins of Esoterica and Dunhill(stumbled across them in a couple brick and mortars in another town).

Sounds like you’re off to a great start! Good to have you and a hearty welcome from Middle Tennessee.

Welcome aboard from the capital of The Old North State. I visited your Morganton a few years ago with my wife who was doing a story on honest free-range pig farming and exquisite lard produced from that. I was intrigued that our local sources had no knowledge of Cornell and Diehl, the tobacco blender, which was located there at the time. They'd never heard of it, nor their amazing work elevating burley from a codger leaf to a blending component of premium blends, now relocated to South Carolina where they are part of smokingpipes.com. Sounds like you are well into your pipe interest. While there, we quietly stood reverently by a sow who had just birthed piglets in a nest she'd made of twigs. Those are swine who live a real life before they become our food. Honors and salutations.

Stoked to have finally left the shadows and join the party! I think we might have organically created our own pipe club )) Oh, and let's do a 9er tomorrow... Just cellar work.

Organically schmanically! You gave your closest buds their first pipes and tobacco, and now here we are!!! Don't pretend like you're not an evil mastermind ?

I only tried in hopes that you guys would enjoy it as much as I did... Lowe and behold!! "If you're referring to the incident with the dragon, I was barely involved" hahaha
