I have a JR off I-95 near Smithfield N.C., about an hour away. It has been a while, several years, since I've made the trek, and I hear they've changed the format somewhat. I'd be interested to see it. When I went there, they seemed to have the best prices of any brick and mortar I'd visited. They had a good selection in pipe tobacco, not comparable to the cigars, but all the way from tub tobaccos to Dunhill blends. Their pipes, other than Dr. Grabows, were all under glass, and required the attendance of a sales person. Since it often takes me hours, days or weeks to decide on a pipe, I didn't even look, except to peer down through the case to see if I could spot prices, which mostly I couldn't. Despite the savings, generally I'd rather support my nearby local independent pipe shop, to keep it going. If I were out toward JR, I'd enjoy another visit.
