Welcome. Lots of good information, history, and expertise here. Being in Raleigh, you've probably visited the local independent pipe shop, Pipes by George on Hillsborough St. George is a dependable local expert and source of good blends. The sponsor retailers on here are excellent as well. You can learn a lot perusing the pipe and tobacco pages on those sites.

Hello from Austin, Texas.
I never spent any time in Raleigh. I would speed back and forth from Fort Stewart, GA to Baltimore, MD during the army days, visiting family.
I always stayed at the Holiday Inn in Fayetteville if I was not doing the whole trip in one hitch, They had a great mini "nightclub" in the hotel, back in the late 80's/early 90's.
It was nice to get all liquored up and only have to shuffle to the elevator when the fun was over.

Welcome! Near Sparta NC here, although I'm currently at my house in Isle of Palms, SC riding out what there might be of a storm named after a smelly Asian fruit (I know, its one letter off).
