Decided to come out of hiding

Hello from Indiana, started smoking pipes five years ago, an alternative to cigars. Which were an alternative to cigarettes (quit 16 years ago). I usually haunt a local tobacco shop, Riegels in Fort Wayne, the Georgetown store always has estate pipes on hand.  I try and buy from the brick and mortar stores as much as possible.  Currently have 22-23 pipes in my collection, which is always changing, never know when the next favorite is going to pop up!  My avatar is a Decatur Industries standing ashtray with a pipe rack around the perimeter.  I have never seen another one, let me know if you have ever seen one.  Currently smoking a Savinelli 816XS and a Savinelli Bings Favorite.  I normally have a lot to say, I am not necessarily right, just have a lot to say.  Looking forward to pipe related conversations, Dave.
