How many of you guys live near Jackson, TN..?

I live in Bradford, and it is about a 45 min drive to Jackson. Also someone said there is a cigar friendly pub in Jackson...what is it called..?

Martel

There's some lounge/b&M there that I've heard about. I'll check on the name. Thankfully, I've got lots of places in Memphis I can/could go. A great lounge two minutes from work and a great cigar bar five minutes from home. But have considered heading to Jackson for a herf at some point even though Memphis has more options.

I went through Bradford twice today, meant to stop at Ye Olde Pipe Shop in Jackson, but ran short of time. I've been meaning to check it out for some time, but have not as of yet.

I'm close enough. I try and stop in at ye ol pipe shop too when i'm in town and when they're open. It's just a tiny little shop for such a big (relatively big) city. It's the only one I know of. There are plenty of "cigarette tobacco" stores that may have a small cigar selection but I never tried any of those. The shop has been there as long as I can remember. They've got a few chairs and a sofa, a few shelves and counters and a walk-in humidor that gets crowded when more than one guy is in there. Nice enough selection and pricing. And they've been friendly and helpful. There may be a bar or something that is cigar friendly on occasion (Red Bones?). I would definitely like to herf in Jackson or somewhere close even if it's just a few of us

I will give Ye Old Pipe Shop a call later and see if there is a place.

I was thinking the same thing. And we could call redbones. I looked at redbones website and at the very least they have a large covered open-air patio.

Bob Luken

I called Redbones and they said smoking is allowed and pretty common out on their patio and they could set up tables together if there was a large enough group in attendance. Sounded like they have some awnings in place and some heaters to keep it comfortable. Ye olde pipe shoppe is very close to Redbone's. You could actually walk between them.

You the man.....

I guess we will have to go and be cigar smoking ice cycles because to quote "not that I know of" is the answer from Ye Olde Pipe Shop.

This is sounding good. Next few weeks are hectic, but sounds promising. Martel annd Mmccartney showed some interesr as well, keep me in the loop if y'all do something.

Bob Luken

Sounds like we got a herf brewing. We'll definitely keep you posted and we'll spread the word too to see if anybody else wants to come. I'm going to check out a few more options but Redbones might be the best spot.

Bamablows

Just saw this and you guys can count me in .

jd50ae

For me it will have to be after the 2nd Wednesday of the month. And I got me a Herf-A-Dor.

mmccartneydc

With enough notice, I could probably make it. Just keep me posted!

Bob Luken

Tyler, Matt. It's great to hear interest from you both on this. We should definitely start talking about this more and see if more people join in.

My next thought/question is do you guys want this to be a one day or two day gathering. I'd like to hear the general consensus from all of you who are interested. As for me, at this point I can easily commit to a day trip on almost any Saturday OR Sunday, but with a little bit of advanced planning I could do a Sat and Sun both. And how much advance notice do you guys need? A month? Two months? More? Speak up please. Is mid February too early to consider?
We need everybody's $0.02 on these plans.
