Aquadoc, the ultimate pouch for your baccy has to be one of those made from a kangaroo's scrotum. Very soft and supple, perfect for the discerning pipesmoker who has impeccable tastes :

Look them up on Google, there are several sellers.

But 'roos aren't on any endangered list, are they?? So a more rarified pouch would be made of, say, dinosaur scrotum, or less rare, Eagle nut pouches....Even buffalo scroti have more caché.... just sayin'.
I agree that tuold's is a cigar case. The only cigar case I ever bought was larger in girth to accommodate my preferred size- about 6x50-52 ring gauge size. Liked the look of that type of cigar case, but it would only hold a much thinner type of cigar.
No, no, no... Many species of Kangaroos are far exceeding the carrying capacity of the land. I am all for an organized pipe magazine forums hunt so that we can all garner manly Kangaroo pouches for our best blends. And we can sit around the camp fire, eating Roo mountain oysters while sharing a pipe or three, telling tales of our daring doos.
Being serious, one of the things I learned pretty quickly is that pouches generally are not good at preventing tobacco from drying out a little too much. For that reason I NEVER put more backy in one than I am likely to get through that day. Roll up pouches are better than zip up ones if you are concerned about this. Having said that, my main one at the moment is a button flap one branded by Falcon. It does the job. In the end people have to ask themselves what they need their pouch to do.
Didache, I think I need something to carry the little tins I found on Amazon. They are working out better than I thought they would for a day's carry of different options. I think for a trip, a polymer bag in a leather rollup might be the way to go.
"In the end people have to ask themselves what they need their pouch to do."
Quite right Mike. Thinking about it, on the very rare occasion I leave home long enough to know I could enjoy a bowl whilst out then one of the smaller square tins would do the job admirably for my simple needs.
Then of course you have those out on the road for lengthy periods of time...that is when a pouch might prove more useful.
I did buy one when I started and beingmean a Yorkshireman at heart I bought a vinyl one and by all accounts vinyl ones are better than leather for moisture retention.

Alright @hugodrax, I'll bite.

A rollup pouch? Tobacco tins and boxes were what people had available hundreds of years ago.
Don't get me wrong. It doesn't matter how you carry it. I'm just surprised the modern rollup, almost completely concealed in a pocket, is relatively unpopular.
Then again, I guess it doesn't work at all for those who carry multiple mixtures.

Thanks for the clarification hug. Sounds like we're on the same page.
Here's what I use...
It's a simple canvas rollup with two pockets inside. It has a leather strap with multiple holes, accommodating a couple of pipes, 2 or 3 ziploc baggies with tobacco, lighter, tamper and a few cleaners.

BonanzaDriver, I have been haunting their site for a few weeks. I did not see those. I have been salivating over their RhodeDog and Regulator pipes. To be employed again..... Will go check the pipe rolls out.
Hug & Doc,
here's the page with their TTT O'Dell Pipe Roll Bag Gen 3.

Hug, the pic I posted was one of theirs. But, my bag is essentially that clean. It's canvas that I sprayed with a little Scotchguard type of water repellent on the outside. Works pretty good for allowing you to simply wipe most things off of the surface.

I have a 4th Generation pouch. The roll up without snaps or magnets and it is great. I take it everywhere. Fits perfectly in my back pocket and holds cleaners, tamper, and two tobaccos(one in a baggy to keep separate.) Some of these other posts are great, but this is ideal for visiting a friend or heading to an outdoor gathering where I don't want to carry a kit around in my hand all night.
