I bought this pipe case today, but I have no idea how well it will perform. They mystery of internet shopping, I guess.
I have to transport some of my briars (10 or so at a time) internationally on long and sometimes rough journeys. I have always used pipe socks in the past and put them in with my luggage. It never felt very comfortable, especially with some of the higher priced pipes.
So, this pipe bag is supposed to add some extra safety and it will travel in a bag that I carry with me. I saw some bags that look like a briefcase or rucksack/messenger bag for your pipes, but I didn't want to dedicate so much space to just pipes. I was trying to find something in-between that could hold a handful of pipes and not be made of overly cheap material that will need to be replaced in a year's worth of use.
It was surprisingly tough for me to find a pipe case. To my eye, it seemed to go from very cheap, poorly made looking options to these large carrying cases that look like they could fit a laptop.
Anyone have luck with finding a good pipe case that has stood the test of time?
I think I'll need to buy another one, to fit the remainder of the pipes I like to travel with, but these Brigham cases are now sold out everywhere I look. And besides, it might not be very good anyway. I'm just taking a chance here.
It's roughly 8" x 5" x 2" for all of the Americans here. A two pipe bag by the same maker was 1" less at 4", so I went with the 4 pipe bag and extra inch.
