Let's see if I can figure out how to post one of these GIFs directly to the post.

I can surely accommodate some of the members!
I didn’t have any tobacco in baggies this morning, but on Sunday I carried three baggies with enough for a few bowls each in the zippered pouch on the right side, I only had one pipe with me that day, but could have carried two easy.
Nice bag. ?Looks like you got a sweet set up!
I use a tiny little leather pouch that is just enough to hold a few ziplocs of blends, 2 briars and a cob, as well as lighter, tamper, and a pack of 20 pipe cleaners. It's handy, and I can also squeeze a shooter of scotch in there if necessary

It worked well on a trip to Iowa this summer and I even saw a guy at the zoo in Omaha with the same bag?
I purchased this for road trips/picnicking on amazon for $12.49:
I'll have to post a pic of everything in it next time I use it.

I grabbed this Smokin Holsters "Necessities" bags. These things are over priced, so definitely used is the way to go. It holds 4-6 pipes and accessories.
I had a much larger Smokin Holsters bag, but it was far too big for my use (think it held 12 pipes!) Sold it on Ebay, Ashdigger bought it.
It had no closure on the flap, Neill F wanted a fortune to put a strap on. I took it to my Amish shoe repairman who put a magnetic clasp on it (and stitched the sides so it doesn't flop around as much), for a cool $15 or so. The Amish shop owner said he would put a womans purse catch on it. I said that I'd rather he call it a "man clasp".....which got a puzzling look out of him. Amish guys have a lousy sense of humour. My kids love to tease me about my purse. Guess they are right....

When one is on the go he may find these pipe rolls useful, prices won't hurt either,I guess,

Some of you may find this strange, but I've been a Renaissance Faire worker for many years and "Grichels" bags are a staple for anybody in my line of work. I've been using this one to hold my pipes and a couple ounces of tobacco. Recently I've considered having a Grichels pouch commissioned specifically for pipes.
I also have (and love) this little bag. It's great. On a side note, I found myself out and about on Halloween in costume and needed a place to stash this bag with a couple tins of tobacco.
The problem solved itself via an old British WWI gas mask satchel. Thank you Indiana Jones.
Looks like just the sort of thing I need to carry my copy of the Necronomicon around in.
Thank you! I try to pick up a Grichel every year. They aren't cheap, but it's quality craftsmanship that has lasted many of us renfolk decades. If my pipe pouch commission ever comes to fruition, I'll be sure to post it here.
Hello again jpmcwjr ? we sure run into each other often, don't we? Not that I'm complaining- your input is always welcome and appreciated.
I want to make it clear that I don't own or work at this particular booth.. But I'd imagine the process involves wetting down the leather to make it more pliable, fashioning it into wrinkles and ridges to create a face and setting the backside with some type of adhesive. I've got a few smaller pieces as well, including this one that I use specifically for my nosewarmer:
Some more examples of their work-
The pretty lady in this photo is not me, but I found the picture quite fetching.
They do look rather Lovecraftian, don't they?
I use a Titan cooler bag, it's big but carris my Yeti cooler, big popup lid container of Penzance ,pipes, tools,cleaners, glasses, lighters, cigars and all the cigar accessories , sorry, no pics since PhotoSuckIt got greedy.
No need for photo hosting here. The old forum had an album and the update allows you to upload directly from a device or computer. Just took this one with my phone.
