How long of a holiday would you be able to take? I can't think of an item that I've lost more than the standard Czech tool.

Whatever the longest free holiday would be. 
Maybe I'm just too careless, but honestly I've just used the thing an hour ago and I could only give you a general area where you'd might find itWhatever the longest free holiday would be.
I've had the same Czech tool on my keychain since the day I bought my first pipe. I've lost a few of those 8deco tampers over the years though, but I've managed to hold on to a purple one for several years now. *knock wood*
I'm a bit of a woodworker but, I've got my eight original all in place.
I'm a creature of habit - I sit in the same spot for a smoke 99% of times.
Ashtray, Czech tool always in place - unless my wife has decided on a spring clean or move the furniture
Being clumsy to a fault, I don't smoke on the move or tending to other tasks, unless it is to get a mug of tea or a fill-up .
So little chance of me leaving something in an unknown location

I regularly find old tampers in a tool kit I haven't used for a while or in the car when I clean it.
I lose tampers regularly on the golf course. The funny thing is, golfers find them and return them to me! One was returned to me more than a season after I lost it, a Rattray's slim that is my go to desk tamper. I only lost one in the last ten years permanently, Just another thing I love about my job.

Hard to say whether I’ve ever actually “lost” one because I’ve got them laying around everywhere, in the many cars, tool boxes, coat/vest pockets, drawers, etc., and I’m always “finding” one somewhere.
The better question is how long a holiday I could have taken if I hadn’t bought so many over the years of pipe smoking?

I've lost two. One Rodgers pipe tool, and a hand carved tamper from Ireland. The Rodgers was probably 40 dollars, but the one from Ireland, was priceless. I hope it comes back soon.
Death?Whatever the longest free holiday would be.
I would be on holiday with you and my 5 Czech tools
I've got a Laguiole pipe knife but it only ever leaves its box for photo dressing.
When I’m on the deck there are always a couple of those stuck between the slats of the little side table.
Much like @verporchting I find them everywhere. It's somewhat by design. All my jackets seem to have a Bic and a pipe tool in the pocket. Sometimes more than one pocket.
:::knock on wood::: I've not lost anything pipe related. I misplace them sometimes, but they are always there when I stumble back upon them.
OK. I know I am going to regret this but ...... what is a Laguiole pipe knife?
