I keep them in the box when my gross arrives. I order them in bulk. Then I have a ceramic tumbler that I keep some by my smoking chair, and I have two leather pipecleaner cases, I keep one in my truck and one in my pipe bag.
the leather ones aren’t completely necessary, but it is a tad more stylish than just keeping them in the bag, or wagging a box of them around.

Good thought you never know when pipe cleaners will be as scarce as balsa....
Yep. I've had the experiences of finding the size and type I need out of stock, sometimes for weeks at a time, so this solves that problem. When doing a deep cleaning on a new-to-me estate it's no surprise to go through dozens of pipe cleaners, and one pipe took well over 100 before it was neutralized. If I ever really get serious about it, I'll keep a good 10,000 on hand, like a few pipesmokers that I know.

I dump a bag at a time into an empty 100g Hal O The Wynd tin, which I keep on the shelf next to my pipes. It looks handsome.

Travelling, I stick a few in my coat or shirt pocket and straighten them out when I need them.

What do you keep your pipe cleaners in for easy access? What have you seen others use that was different?

I ran across this Gettelman Beer can/pencil holder on eBay a few years ago. Gettelman apparently was an old beer from Milwaukee, and & since I had lived in the Cream City for a few years I thought, "What the heck!"
It's functioned perfectly to keep my pipe cleaners at the ready.

Picked up this brass ashtray a few years back, the ashtray is at the front of the boot with a lift up lid, no idea what was meant to be kept in the boot opening (cigarettes maybe?) as it's too deep for normal size matches but makes a decent holder for pipe cleaners instead...
