I have been going to them for over 30 years. Went in today to see if they had any hidden goodies in the back room. Was looking at some pipes an the clerk asked if I was interested in a nice pipe rack. I said always. He told me if I bought any pipe I could have this free.

Needless to say it followed me home.

Fantastic! I've been threatening to build a pipe mounting system like that for years. The trouble has been in finding soft clips that are sized for pipe shanks and stems. Maybe the clips used for fishing rods would work. I dunno. Nice find! ...and thanks for re-igniting my interest.

I go to Riegels once or twice a year as I'm not in Fort Wayne very often. I hope they aren't closing out their pipes or worse yet closing their doors?

Back in the early 1990s I visited Riegels while traveling on business, and purchased from them my first Savinelli pipe (a three-quarter-bent Oscar Dry with pot bowl which to this good day still makes Prince Albert sing). The store was delightful, and the gentleman who waited upon me was both knowledgeable and helpful.
"Went in today to see if they had any hidden goodies in the back room..."
Ah, this is my dream scenario, searching the dusty shelves and finding an overlooked Barling, Sasieni, or Dunhill, or a tin of some long-gone favorite tobacco!
