For me, no trip to Gatlinburg would be complete without a visit to the Gatlin-Burlier. The shop has been around for over 40 years. Its a small store in the also small Mountain Mall, but it is always a fun trip, with some real characters behind the desk, and some nice tobaccos.
Bulk blends at the counter. All their blends are blended in house and top noted by them. Not sure what manufacturers they pull from but everything burns easy and i've never had a bite. I really like the way they do aromatics. No Local is a great english blend too. I had a mellow balkan blend called Smokies Smoke-Ease as I perused the store. Prices would be high for bulks, approaching what you usually spend for something in a tin, but they are a really good quality. If you buy a sampler it is 2oz samples and brings the price in line with what I spend on a bulk in other B&Ms.
More pipe tobacco. They have a few tins of Larsen around but not much else in the way of tins.
Meerschaum pipe case, they have more meers than I usually see in a shop.
Some humidor shots. I'm not a cigar guy but the humidor seems small but decently stocked.
They are apparently a premier zippo retailer. Saw some nice ones in store. Website says they have over 500. Forgot to get a picture of the other display case.
In addition to pipe tobacco, they also make their own chewing tobacco. I picked up a sampler for my dad.
Just some neat steins. Everything is for sale! I meant to get a shot of some Missouri Meerschaum displays from the 70s, and a cob churchwarden that predates the Cobbits by a long shot, but I forgot. Too busy smoking and joking!
If you are ever in Gatlinburg I heartily recommend checking them out. Stores that have been around the long are a treat to visit.
