Raleigh Area Lurker

[Parsimonious Piper]

We live in the booming metropolis of Creedmoor, NC, just north of Raleigh-Durham. Been smoking a few years so I’m still a newb. Own a few briars but really like my MM cobs best. My current favorite smokes are burley/VaPer blends, but I keep a few food-flavored aeros in the rotation for when my wife’s nearby.

Welcome Parsimonious! I grew up outside of Winston-Salem, a little place called Walkertown.

Welcome aboard from your area. You've likely already discovered Pipes by George between NCSU and downtown on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh. You may also have encountered Jerry Perry, the Colfax N.C. pipe carver who sells exclusively at the State Fair this month, at the Village of Yesteryear, and at the TAPS pipe show at the fairgrounds in April.

Welcome from Virginia/New York. You'll find no judgement about enjoying your cobs over your briars on this forum

Thanks all.

mso489, I’ve been to George’s a few times. Nice little shop. Met Huber and Inge through TAPS. I’ll have to look Perry up.

Welcome, not much in the triangle area for B&M action but there’s pipes by George that was mentioned earlier and another place in Cary

An hour or a little less from Raleigh is J&R Cigars just off I-95 in Smithfield/Selma. I haven't been there in years, and I think their inventory has changed, but i think they may still have the big humidor and some deals on pipe tobacco.

Hello from Seattle.
Cobs are amazing pipes and a great value. I have a variety of pipes and among these are several cobs I have had for 25 years.
