Carrying Around a Pipe and Accoutrements....HOW ?????

[sumusfumus]

So....I recently started to smoke my old pipes again, after many years. 90% of the time, I smoke my pipes at home, but I would like to bring along a pipe and some tobacco when visiting friends, going to outside events, etc....but how do I pack and carry all the things that go along with pipe-smoking...tampers, pipe-cleaners, matches, tobacco(s), the pipe itself, etc? Carrying around a pipe tobacco, cell phone, eyeglasses, wallet, can be a real PITA. I'm thinking that some kind of leather, shoulder bag/case might be the way to go....something like a camera bag, so the hands can remain free. Honestly, I hate the idea of carrying a shoulder bag of some sort no matter how masculine it might look....but I see no other way around this problem.
Give me some ideas or alternatives. Pipes, tobacco, and accoutrements have to be carried in "something", or, I'll just have to leave the pipe at home, so what do I do?
What do you guys use for carrying a pipe around?

I just throw a cob in my shirt pocket on my way out the door. Few bowls worth of tobacco into a little zip top bag, and you're good to go. ::

Well...first, I can't resist another opportunity to plug for Sorringowl & Sons. This fits in my pants pocket when closed.

But the truth is, the easiest thing is to pack the pipe before I leave the house. Then I just keep it in a pocket, and grab the zippo. Usually a czech tool as well, but you don't need one. Tamp with your finger, stir the ash with a key, etc.

This is how I do it! At least for Pipes.

No bags, hags or fags (Brit for cigarettes.)! Just load a pipe before going out. One lighter or one book of matches. Finger is tamper. Pipecleaners left behind. Small baggie for a couple of reloads. Pocket fits all. Supplies remain in auto and at home.
I do admire the neat solutions others have, but I just can't be arsed to be tidy or well prepared for all possibilities.

We just recently had another thread about this and there were many ideas floated.
Heres' what I use if I go out for more than a short walk with a pre-packed pipe. Less than $20, but certainly not nearly as nice as leather setup like the one above.

Pipe in shirt pocket, lighter in watch pocket, and my finger as a tamper.

I have had this horse hide bag for almost 30 years. It will carry everything. :D Everything including a spork and one of several different pipe 'rolls'.

Many thanks for the great ideas, the photos, and the time you guys took to write your suggestions.
Much appreciated, really.

I put a pipe in it's sock, slide a couple pipe cleaners in with it, put my lighter in my pocket, and carry a small mason jar of tobacco if I'm just going over to a friends to hang out. ::

I use a canvas pencil case. Cheap.
Two pipes, lighter, cleaners, and a baggy with tobacco. Goes everywhere from BBQ's to Vacations.
