I didn't realize what a treasure it was till I got out and saw the sorry state of most pipe shops.
I can see that. I have scoured Raleigh for a really good shop, and I did find one that's really good, but it's not got the largest room inside to pop down on a comfy chair and stay a while. I think there's just one table with typically a couple gents already at it, some smoking cigs and others cigars. I have yet to see someone actually smoke a pipe inside it. Most people tend to just come, get what they're after and bolt, but I could sit in The Briary for a good long time I think.
