[QUOTE="SteveMKentucky, post: 539990, member: 4231"] I almost didn't post this as it seems a bit depressing to see the old, classic Brick and Mortar tobacco shops close. However, I think it's worth commemorating these places nonetheless. Some years ago I joined the Navy and was stationed in Memphis Tennessee for my initial schools. As a new pipe smoker I visited the Tobacco Corner frequently, buying tobacco, pipes and magazines. In another thread I posted that I bought my (then) favorite blend called "Your Father's Blend" which turned out to be Lane 1Q. I bought this blend regularly from Elliot and bought many a men's adventure and 'true crime' magazine from him. I did a quick Internet search to see if the tobacco corner is still around and found that it shut down in January of 2018. The well-respected proprietor Elliot apparently passed away the year before.
