How Do You Store Your Pipe Collection?

[The Clay King]

@Lumbridge I like the Old Dominion clays and have a couple of Jamestown pipes; not got a Williamsburg one yet though. I was smoking GH brown twist at the Battle of Nantwich re-enactment last month - a good pipe and tobacco choice for the English Civil War period in the 17th century. I had a pint and a clay with one of the re-enactors.

I thought about getting a large handgun case for them as well. I was looking for one sized for a scoped .500 S&W or some such, and then it dawned on me to search for microphone cases as well.

I'm up to 16 or 17 cases. I couldn't afford that many mic cases. Lol

Sounds like fun. A good Virginia would also be an excellent choice.

@ray47
Wow, a literal wall of pipes! I'd have a bad case of choice paralysis trying to decide which one to smoke.

Everyone needs to try a meerschaum at least once. Better to get it out of the way early! Checkout therightpipe.com they have some for real cheap. I refused to try them in the beginning, because I thought they were goofy looking fragile toys. Now, they are all I smoke 90 percent of the time.

What!
One meer for a year would imply that you only smoke meers. Have you got a briar on the side you aren’t telling us about?

What would the genius that is Brian May do?

Lol no no no I don't cheat. Hahaha. Not going to lie, I do handle my briars while I'm only smoking my meer though. Just so they know I still love em.

Mine are currently in random clusters in the garage/house. Cardboard box, on counter or two, on a shelf in master closet, on a table in the basement.

@Lumbridge Something like C&D Yorktown? This was the baccy I was smoking at the Redcoats & Revolutionaries when the blacksmith lit my clay pipe from his forge.
Could you recommend some suitable Virginia blends for the King's clay??? I normally order from Smokingpipes.com.

He's done a year of a cob and a year of a briar a couple of years ago.

Repurposed Oak bow front cabinet. Like Jessie, we'll be downsizing and moving in a few years. I doubt this is making the trip, so I'll need another solution.

Most of my pipes are in socks, stored in cardboard boxes, which are in closets.

I've been pondering a cabinet and replacing the glass with UV blocking glass to help with the fight against oxidation.

Yeah I know it’s just that he said he smokes a meer 90% of the time these days. I was just giving him a hard time because he should be smoking a meer 100% of the time

Now that’s a pipe collection to be proud of. I’m still in the will right?

 

[Piping Abe]

Heres how I store mine. They are normally in a mirrored glass door cabinet. I took them out for a photo

I've been enjoying simple VA flakes like Newminster and Capstan. I need to try more straight VAs.

I've been smoking meerschaum mist of the time for a while myself.
