Pipes By George in Raleigh, N.C., is an outstanding independent pipe, tobacco, and cigar store, with a good selection of pipes at
many price points, basket to get-out-your-credit-card. He has a nice selection of tinned and bulk tobacco and a walk-in humidor.
George has been there since the mid-1970s, and I've never traded away any of the pipes I've bought from him. He has an online
presence too. There are many cities larger than Raleigh that don't have as good an independent pipe shop. It also serves as
a sort of general store gathering place. One man said he'd had 200 pipes but had trimmed it down to a mere 60, and had
two big storage containers of various tobaccos under a bed. So my collection of less than three dozen pipes seemed the model
of self-restraint. Thank you George's. (He's on Hillsborough St. near North Carolina State University.)
