Case

[cassiorenan]

Is it ok to keep the pipes in a case like this? A friend of mine said isn't good to keep the pipes inside it.

 

[cassiorenan]

Because of mold he said.

I store my pipes in cases like that. My basement isn't super damp, though. I suppose if there is a lot of moisture you shouldn't.
Good reference would be this: Do you keep guns stored that way? If so, then pipes are likely safe.

^^^Ave Maria! I just peed myself. That is like an altar for pipe smokers^^^

When I ordered that gaggle of pistol cases, I was pretty certain I was put on a watch list.
I peed myself a little too...

That is a very organized rack!

Wow! OCPD - Obsessive Compulsive Pipe Disorder! :rofl:

I use a hard sided pistol case when travelling. Canada Customs officers get very excited. :rofl:

If you are concerned about humidity, place a few of those desiccant packs in the case. I use those for everything from pipes to camera gear. Here is a link to Desiccant packs - Amazon

But...but...what's the point of having all those pipes if you can't see them??? I mean, a large part of the the joy of collecting is visual pleasure...the graceful lines, the flow, the curves, the everything. It's like having a hot woman but keeping her inside where she can't be seen. I say, let her OUT! Ahmm, I mean, let the pipes out!

I keep my pipes in piles, drawers and racks.

I store my Peterson pipes on a rack, the cobs in a small basket and my other briars in their socks in a drawer. For travel I use a leather pipe roll or a hard sided Pelican case if I am carrying more than three.
