I have been looking on the net but can not find any info. On how to get a pipe cased.
You see all the new meerschaum pipes cased.
Do you have to find someone in Turkey to get this done.
Found a none meerschaum pipe on eBay cased may just buy it to get what I want.
Thanks for any help.

I'm almost convinced that meerschaum pipes are carved to fit pre-made cases instead of the other way around. That being said, once I've gotten my pipes, they're rarely in their cases as meerschaum pipes are fairly durable.

There are a couple of people who make the occasional case for their pipes, but htey don't do it for a living and aren't interested in being asked. You can try contacting one of the meerschaum merchants to see if they can arrange for a case to be made. Otherwise, take measurements of your pipe, buy a hinged case off of Amazon, and you're done. If you want to make it a fitted case, you will have to do that yourself.

I was looking for a YouTube video to see how to make one.
But came up short on that hunt.
I will take a look on Amazon.

Get a foam filled rectangular hard hobby case and cut the foam to fit your pipe. Won't be as small but it will protect it.

Yup as I have been thinking about this too, the best I can come up with is a foam filled sunglasses case. I found a few options on Amazon. However I'm now just keeping mine in a pipe and tobacco combo pouch.

That might work, really wanted a fitted case.
I have a great little Rossi 2 pipe hard case for $20.00 they work great.

Completely agree, there seem to be a set number of different sized cases that are mass produced and those are the guidelines for the pipes, it would make less than no sense ro a tuall make cases for each pipe individually.

What would a case do that a small leather pipe bag won't?
It’s just a lighter way to go.
Put it in my shirt pocket.
I have several cased pipes.
I don’t just smoke at home, I’m on the go and take pipes with me.
I have bags and like each one depending on what I’m doing.
1, 2 & 4 pipe bags.

I'm seldom out where I need to carry a pipe in my pocket. When I do, I carry one of my "lesser" pipes that wouldn't hurt were it to be damaged or lost. Or a cob. If I were out a lot, I'd likely be carrying 2 to 4, I have bags for both. I can also see the utility of carrying one in a case. But I'd still have to carry pipe cleaners, tobacco, a lighter and tool. So I'm back to carrying the pipe bag again.

I carry a zippo and tamper in my pocket at all times.
And on the go I have a Peterson leather pouch for tobacco and cleaners, keep it in my hip pocket.
