I'm wondering if any of you could recommend a day bag for pipes and tobacco? I'm looking for something for $50.00 or less that could carry 5-10 bowls of tobacco, two pipes and a pipe tool and cleaners. Thanks in advance for your replies.
Jobey pipe bags
I don't know about there pipes but the bags are wonderful i have one that hold two pipes and the top is a zippered rubber lined tobacco pouch. I highly recommend these for the price they are great, and the Lamb skin feels cool.

I have something similar manufactured by Vauen. Mine is a little bigger, with a removable tobacco pouch, and two internal zippered compartments for cleaners, tools, etc. I bought mine for $60 at my B&M.
Good luck in your search, and let us know what you end up picking up.

I love mine, but it's a no-name bag I picked up from an eBay store, I believe. It was significantly less than $50. It's faux leather, of course, but it's a zippered bag that holds five pipes, has a separate, removable tobacco pouch, and pockets for tamper, matches, lighter, cleaners, etc. In addition, it has two outer pockets; one zippered and one that closes with magnetic clasps.
I've had this for maybe five years, and it's been a great companion.

My current combination is a Maxpedition Fatty pocket organizer ($25-30) plus a tobacco pouch - I've got a Jobey zippered model ($12) and a MacBaren rollup with snaps ($15) that I switch out as desired.
I have a Chinese vinyl copy of the Jobey 3-pipe bag, it cost me under $15 on the bay. In my opinion vinyl is more durable, which is my main criterion. I prefer to use my zip-up pouch in it rather than the roll-up+snap pouch that came with.
I had been looking for one myself for a while. I finally found one I liked and bought it with a smokingpipes.com gift card my dad gave me for Christmas.
Mine's a Peterson Avoca leather four pipe pipe bag. It cost around $55.
It has a flap that is held in place my magnetized buttons. When you flip it open there is a pocket on each side, one holds a little more than the other. Right now I store some pipe cleaners, about an ounce and a half of tobacco in a ziplock bag, and one of my lighters. The other pocket has my cigar cutter.
It has a zipper with the Peterson P on it. It zips in half. One side has the sleeves for four pipes which it actually fits rather comfortably provided you're not loading four huge freehands. The other side has a small tobacco pouch that can hold about an ounce of tobacco. There's a spot for a tamper in the middle.
I love the bag. It carries exactly what I need it to and it looks nice. It's nicely constructed and I'm expecting it to last me many years to come.
