How Do You Organize Your Pipe Paraphernalia

[pstlpkr]

I know this sounds mundane; but I think it would be interesting to find out what we pipe smokers use to keep our "accoutrements" handy. I'm not talking about pipe racks or tobacco containers.
I have 4 items that I use to stay organized and keep every thing handy.

I use a Tabasco pepper sauce table container to hold my pipe cleaners and Q-tips.

It sits in a "spade" shaped candy dish that holds matches and lighters, it also holds my Cob warden beautifully.

Lastly I have a very old Baccarat cigar box for my good/dress lighters and odds and ends.

I also have a piano shaped pen holder that I use to hold my tampers.

And, yes there are 6 pipes in this photograph.

I'm not so particular about what holds my Accoutrement. Usually a old coffee mug holds pipe cleaners, a pocket knife, reamer, and two home made tampers. That's it for me. Simple stuff for a simple man.

I'm with uncle! I in no way organize my smoking tools/pipes/tobacco.

Lawrence, I like your set up. Mine is semi organized also.
Unclearthur, "Organized" is a word that wives use more than anyone else. Kinda like the phrase "Put the seat down"!!! :crying:

Sorry Arthur, I didn't mean to run those 2 four letter words together..

Orga and nize. :D

 

[unclearthur]

Well Buck ya see that explains it! I've been divorced and happily leaving the seat up for over a dozen years!

 

[crazeybobby]

I have a pipe rack with a humidor in the middle. Inside the humidor I'm letting a toby age. I keep all my pipes in that rack, If I begin to aquire more pipes then my rack will hold, I try to pass along some of them to others by trading them or selling them. I only use my pipe zippo to light my pipe so that sits on top of the rack as well as the one pipe tool I have. I use a wooden box I got at a garage sale for a buck to hold my toby, I have cricket water in an empty toby tin to keep the inside of the box humid.
I try to keep everything uber organized and I look forward to going through my toby collection and pipes at the end of every day :D

speaking of un-organized I have most of paraphernalia is stored in a draw of my desk, and sometimes I put in a tobacco to-go bag that can hold some 2 oz's of tobacco and two pipes!

Well, my pipe cleaners (at least, one package of them) are currently sitting on my keyboard. Another package (that I JUST noticed) is off to the left a ways, on top of a cup. SOMEWHERE within fifteen feet of me is my pipe tool...and somewhere in my truck, another, along with a lighter. And that's just the way I like it...if everything is spread everywhere, there is always some way for me to light up, clean up, or just look at my pipes!

 

[igloo]

I like to call it a end table .

Just setting about organizing my stuff now, I have about 6 pipes in storgage 3000 miles away, and about 8 here with me on the boat. Right now all my pipe paraphenalia is in a dedicated drawer in my desk. I am getting ready to head off on my leave and I need to find a way to pack and secure everything... It is a bit challenging, up till now I have been using 2 cardboard shipping boxes to hold it all, but I need to get a protective portable kit together, I'll post when I come up with something!

 

[wolfscout]

Oh no, no no, I could never make do with only the pipes that would fit in my round humidor holder. Chuckles. Last count I had 77 pipes. I can think of at least 2 dozen more I'm in need of. I like long rotation periods. Ha.

 

[yachtexplorer]

I live on a boat. It has to be organized. Oh did I mention, I live on a boat...with my wife it really has to be organized.
Tobacco Shelves

Tampers

Pipes

 

[julesholling]

WOW Richard!! I've seen shops with less pipes than you got there!
My girlfriend likes to use the phrase 'i've tidied up a bit' but as i say 'Tidy' means being able to find something easily and as i can never find something after you've tidied up, that means you must have made it messy.....
Never seems to go down too well :lol:

 

[scrantonpipes16]

Wow, nice assortment of pipes, how long did it take to acquire those?

 

[bubbadreier]

The real question Richard is wether or not she allows you to smoke inside the boat!

 

[cortezattic]

Don't go overboard! :lol:
