All my racks are bowl down and not all my pipes are stored in racks. I don't notice any effect in how they smoke.
The one thing that is wrong with pipe racks is that the hole in the ones with holes for the stems instead of notches are a real bugger to get bent pipes in and out of. I altered some of my racks with holes by cutting the holes into notches. Like Harris mentioned, most racks seem to be tailored for smaller, straight pipes.

That's actually not a bad idea. It would keep mine safe from overly enthusiastic play when my dogs get excited. Wagging tails become deadly weapons.
Or, that I’m punching WAY above my weight class. ?Great. Now you've just shown I am not very intelligent....
I haven't seen a magnificent rack in ages. I live in an over 55 community.
I was wondering how long it would take for this thread to devolve to its obvious destination. Thank you!
Jesse, of all the people I know, I would have never thought that you would keep your pipes so poorly. How the hell do they breath. Here is a pic of the ultimate pipe rack, It is made of Burlwood, holds 35 pipes, has 3 holes on each side so pipes can breath and best of all I stole it for a 200.00 in a trade form Cuban cigars. It had a retail of around 2200.00 and that was back in 2000. They haven't made this rack in years.
This is a stock pic: The rack is made by Savinelli.

Are you sitting down? I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your pipes don't breathe. They dead.
Pretty reliquary by the way.
Bottom dresser drawer, top of dresser, shelf in walk-in closet, kitchen counter - I need a rack!
Darn, that ruins my wife’s 56th birthday for me next year!
That’s the one you can meet the Craigslist guy behind the bakery at midnight to check out!Jesse, of all the people I know, I would have never thought that you would keep your pipes so poorly.

I've always wondered why anyone, myself included, doesn't display their pipes just as the brick and mortar tobacconists of old (remember those?) used to. They had the pipes mounted on a wall, held with some sort of rubber thing gripping the shank. The pipe then appeared in silhouette, which I prefer. But each to his own solution, I say. I've got all kinds of crap for pipe smokerly display, and am somewhat jaded in looking at it, in any event. Glenn Ford, actor guy of yore:
You can still purchase that rack in their shop in Milan. I was there in 2019.Jesse, of all the people I know, I would have never thought that you would keep your pipes so poorly.

of course. You probably put the tobacco in the wooden end too but real pipe smokers put it in the stem.
wait what? Why would you break it on either end? When the middle is the easiest place to break it.
Fishing rod "grips". I ordered a bunch of them when thinking about making a display / holder for my pipes. Since then I've gotten a few traditional racks but the idea of displaying them is still lingering. I've seen them like that at B & M's in my area.
same with my cats tail. He's nine pounds and yet his tail can thump things with ferocity. He's knocked over full water glasses with his tail. I've thought he smacked me with his paw looked down and then realized nope his tail just whaped me. He also likes curling it around your arm, which is pretty cool. And again he's tiny like 9 pounds looks like a older kitten not a cat.
I rarely smoke aromatic tobaccos and rarely have any moisture in a good briar pipe after smoking..In some cheaper pipes I do have just a hair of moisture...The only pipes i have moisture are system pipes which needs to be cleaned right away-sucking that reservoir out before you lay your pipe on the side...Otherwise its a mess ...Pipe with stem up only for me...I like to look at my pipes this way and it makes sense...
