Pipe/Tobacco Pouch?
So I'm trying to think of ways to store my pipe (only one so far) and the stuff with it: tobaccos, lighter, pipe tool, pipe cleaners, etc... One thing I was looking into was a small, subtle wooden heirloom style box just to keep everything in one place.
But I was also thinking I would like a small leather pouch that holds tobacco and my pipe, maybe even lighter/tool/some pipe cleaners. But there are so many online, and tobacco shop websites don't really give much information on their construction, or what they look like open. So I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions; and what you guys prefer. There's button, zipper and roll-up style pouches. Some are made of leather, or pigskin or vinyl. I'd rather something small for short trips to the tobacco shop or a friends house, rather than for long-distance travel. Anyway, any insight (or pictures) that you guys have would be great! |

Re: Pipe/Tobacco Pouch?
I have a Castleford Carrying Case
It holds 4 pipes, (2 or 3 realistically), tamper, pipe cleaners, lighter; and it has a pouch for your tobaccos. I think its leatherette. It zips and snaps shut. ![]() It really is a great case. As a matter of fact, mine is loaded up and packed for vacation. FYI: In this forum...if you do an Advanced Search, Titles Only for the word "carry"... you'll find 2 threads on this topic.

Re: Pipe/Tobacco Pouch?
You need nothing fancy. I got mine at Old Virginia Tobbaco Company for under $20. Leather (whatever you get, get real leather. You'll be glad you did). Zip on bottom for one pipe. Zip on top for lined tobacco pouch. Pocket on outside for cleaners/matches. I throw a pipe tool in with the tobacco. It'll easily fit in a jacket pocket.
Personally I stay away from "man-purses'. bit too metrosexual for me.

Re: Pipe/Tobacco Pouch?
I don't use anything of the sort. I keep a roll of pipecleaners, bee pipe sweetener and a pipe tool on the dash of both my trucks. I never know what pipe or tobacco I'll be smoking each day so I just grab them when I'm ready to go. Actually a clip on the visor type pouch would be immensely handy but I have found one yet.

Re: Pipe/Tobacco Pouch?
![]() I carry this Castleford pouch that I got from Frenchy for day trips. It has three compartments. The bottom zips open for a pipe and cleaners and the snaps open up to reveal a lined tobacco compartment. It also has a smaller zipper compartment under the snaps that is the perfect size for tamper and lighter. It will hold a fairly good sized pipe and a couple ounces of tobacco. It is is made of very soft leather, well constructed and very durable. It is also compact enough to put in my back pocket so I don't feel like I am carrying around a 'murse'. I am thinking about getting a second one in brown. |

Re: Pipe/Tobacco Pouch?
I just want something big enough to hold all of my pipe-smoking stuff, but small enough to fit in my pocket. Definitely not interested in any kind of "manpurse" accessory.
I really like that Castleford, Sawyer. So here's a question; this is listed as a "pouch moistener": ![]() It something like this even necessary for pipe pouches? |

Re: Pipe/Tobacco Pouch?
I would say no unless you are planning on keeping tobacco in it for several days, which would not be a good idea anyway. I usually load mine up in the morning and empty what is left, if there is any, back into the mason jar it came from or my 'leavings' jar when I get home.
I never have used those pipe moisteners. If I let tobacco dry out I always put it in a bowl and cover that bowl with a moist paper towel until it reaches proper humidity again. |

Re: Pipe/Tobacco Pouch?
No. it is not necessary. You shouldn't be carrying more than a day or two worth of tobak in a pouch. Leave the rest in Mason/Ball jars.

Re: Pipe/Tobacco Pouch?
I do the same thing. Mine is a Xikar 10 cigar model (pictured below). I just put my pipe stuff in the bottom, put the middle piece of foam in and then throw some cigars up top. I usually put any tobacco that I want to take in those small snack size ziplock bags. This has worked for me beautifully.

Re: Pipe/Tobacco Pouch?
I would never dream of putting a humidifier disk in my pouch. All it will do is make the tobacco too moist and take up space. Chances are you live in an area where room humidity is fine for the tobacco.
