Raleigh, Durham, Wilmington NC B&Ms?

[tslex]

My lovely bride and I will be traveling to Wilmington NC in a couple of weeks for the weeding of the daughter of a dear family friend.
We're flying into RDU, making the drive, and extending the trip on either end to make for a nice 4-day weekend get away.
Someone from the area please tell me that the heartland of America's tobacco industry has some pipe and tobacco stores worth visiting.

When I am in the area on business I always hit McCranie's. It's a great place but it is located in Charlotte. The Pipe and Pint is also a nice B&M but that is in Greensboro. Not sure how close you will be to those towns......

There is a JR Cigars @ 67 JR Road Selma, NC 27576 which isn't too far off of your course...there are plenty of other things for your bride to look at there while you are in the "world's largest, walk-in humidor".
