If you are like me, the room that you store all your tobacco and pipes in isn't the place you generally smoke. A serving tray comes in handy for shuttling your stuff to the back yard, and with closed sides, spillage isn't on your lap, on the furniture or the yard. Thrift stores are a good place, but I have seen some beautiful ones with fancy wood inlays that appear to be unused in consignment shops...Nice for keeping things in place  |

It is a good visual reminder of an item frequently seen in thrift shops and garage sales.
Also, if your into repurposing, those Spice cabinets that use to be all the rage, make a good cob rack after removing the doors.

I have a leather one that the wife bought off etsy for a Christmas present a few years back. I still use it but the edges aren't as nice as they were when it was new. The wooden one you have looks much more practical. Sadly someone snotted on your stem.

I like that tray. Usually it is me walking down the stairs with a jar of baddy under each arm pit, one pipe in my mouth and a couple of other pipes in my hand.

As I've probably mentioned here on TBP, I am an admitted CSOB. With that being said, I realized that I needed a cutting board and knife for plugs and such, as well as a tray. The cutting board was on clearance @ TJ Max for $2.00. It's bamboo. The knife was $1.00 @ The Dollar Tree The solid brass tray was $2.00 from the Habitat for Humanity Store.  Here's the tray being put to good use... Drying out some Stonehaven...  |

I have been using a leather one, but I have a Sterling silver letter tray from a German hotel, a war souvenir I believe. As soon as I remember where I put it, I'll put it to use. It's about 7" by 10" and weighs almost 14oz.

That's a nice tobacco tray, Charlie. I need something like that for my desktop; will have to keep an eye out for one.

Great idea. I think you mentioned this to be. I should start using one, as I loose tobacco all the time.

I like it. The whole idea of a tray adds a little elegance to things.
For years I used an camo colored fanny pack, indoors and out. I just kept all the essential tools in the pack, with my tobacco pouch, and grabbed whatever pipe I was yearning for that evening.
Back in the day, my dad, and his generation it seems, did things differently. Smoking was like, "Hey Edith, get me a beer." There wasn't one place in the house where tobacco things were kept, there was stuff here and stuff there. Ashtray in every room, several almost empty pouches of Brindley's Mixture here and there, matches all over the house. Pipe nails and Czech tools and pipe cleaners laying around. Perhaps more "stuff" where the large ashtray was, but no guarantee. He would just ask someone, and one of us kids would gather stuff together and bring it. The first place we would look of course, was under the newspaper and TV guide that were on the TV tray.
Its hard to describe. It was a different thing. It was a different world. He would never have thought of a tray. But now that I have gotten more and more into the activity itself, I like keeping it all together, and, as was stated, when I want to smoke somewhere besides the chair next to all the stuff, a tray is very convenient.

Jeff, I am somewhat like you describe your dad. I have stuff in the bedroom, reloading room, car, living room, back porch and garage. I like to be able to find a pipe and tobacco anywhere I spend time. The reloading room could be called the mancave, but I grow weary of that term. If I am in the mood to pick a special pipe and tobacco pairing, or want to treat a pipe smoking guest, it is the reloading room and overstuffed armchairs. Plus, most of my scotch, bourbon, rye and tequila is there. |
