How many pipes do you take when you travel? Obviously this varies a lot depending on
the length of the trip and how many bowls a day you intend to smoke. For most trips
up to two weeks, I have found that four pipes cover the need. This may sound like few,
but traveling often provides fewer opportunities to smoke, hence requires fewer pipes.
Also, it's wise to spare down the space and weight required. I always take them in my
carry-on pack with toilet kit and pills, etc., to keep them at hand. As I've mentioned before,
they don't seem to be a problem going through security. My only problem there has been
my harmonica(s) which look to an x-ray like a pistol clip, with the chambers looking like
the chambers for cartridges. I tend to take mid-range pipes (from my point of view) so as
to have an elegant smoke but not risk my best briars.
