I don't think it's on your route, but a friend recommended to me Bennington Tobacco in Sarasota, Florida, at least in your direction.

It's really hard to tell your routes. But, if you go from Nashville to New Orleans, take 65 South, and just when you pass through Birmingham into Homewood, stop at The Briary. You won't be disappointed. I have visited most pipe shops in the Southeast, and I haven't found one like it. It is like a top end pipe gallery, with just about every tobacco in stock, except C&D stuff. Tell Aubrey and Smoky Joe, Cosmic sent ya.

There's a list on this site of all the pipe shops in the US. I have a Google maps layer that shows them all, too. I swear I got it from these forums, but I can't find it now.

I'm sorry to say I am not on your route, otherwise I would try and have a bowl with you.

make sure you buy what you want first. It would suck to be kicked out before getting to spend cash.
About the original message. BM makes me think you should also find out which rest stops are best maintained and most crackhead free.

You'll pass through Jackson on the way from Nashville to Memphis. Ye Old Pipe Shop and Cigar Lounge is worth a visit. Nashville Cigar is the former Uptown and it's decent but not what it once was.

Just outside of Nashville, you'll find BriarWorks. They are a great bunch of fellows.

In Austin, you'll find Habana House and Pipe World.

The Habana House up north, off of Highway 183 and Lake Creek Parkway area is the one to go to. (there are two).

For Pipe World, hit the new location off of I-35 and McNiel. It has a great outside deck and an indoor lounge.

If your Austin time falls on a Wednesday or weekend, let me know and I'll try to catch up.

Thanks for the recommendations! I am leaving in about a week, keep the suggestions coming.

Thanks for the offer! I will be with the wife and kids, so at best we will be swinging through Austin. We will be in Dallas, San Marcos, and San Antonio for a day or more each.

I will see how far off the highway they are.the closer to I35, the more likely a stop in will be.

If you're in New Orleans check out Mayan Import Company on Magazine St. If you pass thru Jackson, Ms The Country Squire is a must.
