How Do You Guys Carry?

[roryrumfelt]

Theres all kinda of stuff im just getting into here in the pipe world, everybody has their go to tobacco, and pipe- and everyone has their own ideas on knocking, and lighters vs matches, everything- but Ive been curious.

How do you guys all carry your pipe? (and tobacco of course)- Do you guys even smoke away from home as I often do?
For me I carry a 1.5 oz packet(whatever cheap brand im smoking at the time) ,a plastic bag with half cherry Cavendish Virginia and half smoked latakia (for when I can take more time for a smoke) in a leather pouch I made with some pipe cleaners, and matches, that with my corncob and i just stuff all that in my back pocket and im good to go!

I have a zip up hard case that can fit two pipes. I usually just use the tobacco pouch portion to hold the pipe upright(I don't have time to finish a bowl in one sitting) and it always has my pipe tool, a couple pipe cleaners and a lighter. I have a Baccyflap to hold my tobacco of the week, which is about how long it takes to smoke the entire thing before it begins to dry out a bit too much.

I use an small zip up leather camera case with the tobacco contained in a zip lock bag. I carry a pipe, a couple of lighters, pipe cleaners and a pipe tool in it.

THEN im off

Just a few suggestions, Rory...
Colored pipe cleaners are meant for crafts, not for real pipe cleaning. They're usually polyester or acrylic and won't absorb like cotton fibers.
If you tell us you carry your tobacco in your back pocket, we'll believe you. You really don't need to photograph your butt and prove it.
I'm tempted to try talking you out of the Cherry Captain Black, but I think you'll figure it out for yourself pretty soon.

Bigvan, Yeah I picked up some latakia, and a few virginas, some actual tobacco tobacco- I just need to finish this because I honestly don't mind to much.

And I know i need some real pipe cleaners, hahaha but I had these and I need gas money to get to work and after than and food I have like 4 bucks. Plus ive been smoking for all of 2 months maybe?

(love your friendly neighborhood noob)

 

[thesmokingtexan]

OWB on right hip slight forward angle

 

[bigvan]

Just curious, when you say you picked up "some latakia" I assume you mean a latakia blend and you're not smoking straight latakia.
Right?

I have a Fellator... Oops--I meant Bellator pipe case--holds two pipes, some tobacco, pipe cleaners and a lighter. Gets me through most days.

Pipes stay in the house. Too many bits and bobs to lug around.

Cigars when out and about, like at a car show.

I have a modest sized bag similar to the reusable shopping bags that you can get at most supermarkets. I can fill it up with whatever I need. It has a shoulder strap for convenient carrying.

 

[lochinvar]

Unlike smokingtexan, IWB forward cant. As far as pipes go, I have a Bundeswehr bread bag that holds about 5 tins and about 7 pipes, cleaners tool and matches. Buckle flap closure and a shoulder strap in case I need to do any on the move, tactical piping.

 

[leacha]

My preferred method. This is a case I found by the diabetic supplies in Wall Mart.

 

[thesmokingtexan]

I pipes. We'll I just load a bowl and go. If it is going to be a long trip I got a cigar box I keep in my truck consol to hold supplies but I never care supplies on me.

On a side note I started IWB but tried OWB and never went back. It is so much more comfortable

 

[roryrumfelt]

Yes most certainly not straight ltakia! hahaha, And yes I am thinking about getting a case or somthing that I can fit in my front pocket or possibly a belt pouch it seems really convenient- if im moving about il just put my bundle in pocket in my bag. But yeah... its PROROLBY not a great Idea to put my pipe in my pocket your right, I guess its because ive been smoking 3 dollar corn cobs hehehe! (planning on steping up my game with a straight billiard

leacha thats a pretty great find!

(bigvans got it out for little ol me!

Hey now!!! Maybe he gets his jollies from posting pictures of his butt on various forums, and if so WHO ARE YOU TO DENY HIM HIS JOLLIES MR. BIGVAN!!!!!!!! :rofl:
I prefer the simple tobacco flap myself.

 

[bigvan]

Hey, I'm not judging anyone's proclivities. As the saying goes, "do whatever you like, just don't do it in the street and frighten the horses."
No problems here, Rory. Keep asking questions, bud. Stay curious.

 

[homeguard95]

proclivities

My new word of the day.

 

[roryrumfelt]

I was givin you a hard time bigvan~ ::

If nobody called me out on my junk id never get better at anything hahaha.

where is the saying "do whatever you like, just don't do it in the street and frighten the horses." I like that alot hahaha.

I have a Peterson 4-pipe carrying bag with tobacco pouch, accessory sections, etc. similar to this one, different color:

One of the best investments I ever made! Great for camping trips and such.
For at home I use an unknown name leather pouch, which has a section for accessories (cleaners, tamper, etc.), but it helps to have a go-to tobacco. I used to use tobacco jars, but the pouch is much more convenient if I need to run out somewhere, just grab a pipe and the pouch and I'm off.
