That would be great but is a little short.

I use a hard glasses case for my pipe and tobacco. A little bigger than most it was for my Bobsters I wear when I ride my motorcycle around town. For a churchwarden, look at Walmart or your local grocery store for a Lock and Lock container or a Rubbermaid container. There is usually a small flat one that is 8-10 inches long. Usually transparent so you can see what's inside.

Check this out, large enough to fit two decent sized pipes

Has anyone tried to test fit how many pipes fit in those pistol cases? (Seem to be 8x10). Pipe size of course would be a consideration.

quest complete, purchased http://www.altex.com/Platt-Blow-Molded-Tool-Case-105-x-7-x-3-207-P143635.aspx for $14 bucks at my job
I have looked inside and I could fit roughly 2-4 pipes plus enough tobacco for a whole day of smoking, along with pipe cleaners, matches and a tool

This ones 10.5 x 7 x 3 and I am pretty sure I could about 6 savinelli rhodesians in there

Cool JS. Please posy a pix when you get it, showing how the pipes fit in. I may go the next size up and try to fit five pipes.

Here is the final layout of my first hard case for traveling...

Fits two standard size pipes, pipe cleaners and/or my mini churchwarden, 2 altoid tins full of baccy, and 3-4 boxes of matches!

Thanks jsdiddle, exactly what I had in mind, nice work!

Well, I dunno. The Official PipesMagazine.com Pipe Tote has been pretty popular with the guys on here...

If you want more protection, for a buck more, you can order it with a crumpled back issue of the Tampa Bay Times. :lol:

I'm really digging my new case for travel. It is a little pricey at $79 but it works great for me. I am very happy with it. I can fit about 15 or 16 decent size pipes in it. It also comes with the perforated block foam(as seen in a post above) that you can shape and customize for exact fit but I didn't go that route and opted for the included egg carton foam instead. I keep my Meer's and English/Lat pipes on one side and my VA/VA blend pipes on the other.
