We just legalized ganja here in Arizona. Now I just leave my bong on the front porch.
wait.. I thought they were tobacco water pipes?We just legalized ganja here in Arizona. Now I just leave my bong on the front porch.
I recall that early generations of the Peterson family recommended storing their pipes in a box of bog soil. Apparently its high alkaline content has curative effects on briar.
Bone dry winter, high humidity summer... You make a good point though sir. The only reason I put them in bags is so they don’t get scratched when I move the box, because they are all touching. I’m thinking because they are all dry to begin with they’d be fine.
But certainly worth considering and maybe airing them out once and while...
I got tired of using the method pictured above, so I opted for something different. A Bass Pro opened up near my house and had pistol cases for $5 each...
You can get 5-8 pipes in each case. Works out pretty well vis a vis sunlight reduction.

38 cases x 5-8 pipes = 190-304 pipes. That’s a lot of pipes!
It’s always been my understanding for the ambient environment, high humidity or very dry, are not conditions you want.

I truly do not want to know how you know this.
too bad you're going to find out! I made it up, I was inspired by that article and how it just made up stuff too.
And those are just the resting ones, like vampires in a crypt.
I have cobs all over since I don't case them, a large display full, churchwardens, NIB ones I haven't had time to smoke, and whichever pipes I am smoking/ planning to smoke/ or recently smoked not in those cases.
This is the proper way to store pipes. If you don’t agree, you’re wrong
Or chocolate cherry bend over.

And, yes, really high or low humidity is not ideal. At the same time, it might be wise to have the pipe acclimated to the actual humidity when you smoke it.
Proper way to store pipes. Just be gentle when you throw one on the pile.
I know a guy who, for some ungodly reason, breaks up American Spirit cigarettes to mix with a bit of weed and takes bong rips of that.
It's bad.
well in India they call weed Tobacco Water. Didn't you know this. I thought everyone knew the thing I just made up.
well now that we're on this one - wood is VERY stable-
I currently have in my possession a very OLD VERY VALUABLE PIECE OF WOOD - when I say very, it's estimated value is six figures -if this interest or intrigues you - PM me - it bores many so I don't get into it often
I rarely worry about it -I don't have a controlled environment like endowed museums
the last thing I'd worry about is a stinky pipe following a smoke
I leave it in a room I don't typically hangout in to air out - considering the cold garage
