Hello!!!
Ok, so time to start to look out for some nice leather pouch for my pipes. Right now I use a Maxpedition Fatty Pack, but I prefer leather. Any suggestion?
Thank you
Juan

There are a ton of great companies out there. All depends on what you want to spend. On the lower end, there are commercially made pipe cases that can be pretty reasonable and achieve what you are looking for. On the high end, you can have something custom made.
Few more details and I'm more than happy to make some suggestions.

Hello Justin!
As always, you are one of the first to comment, thank you!
I'm looking for something custom made. Usually I don't carry the tobacco in a pouch, I carry directly the tin. I guess I'll be better suit with a custom made brown leather pouch to carry my pipe and extras. I've seen some custom makers on Instagram, but to hard to choose... there are many of them.

Smokin Holsters is probably one of the best for custom made stuff. He will design a bag around whatever you want. You will pay for it though. smokinholsters.com/I would browse around www.Smokingpipes.com. They usually have a really nice selection of pipe cases in leather, by some good quality companies. Not custom, but with all the options, you might be able to get what you are looking for. |

G'Evening gents, welcome Willyfog, may I add leather is fine for Briar, but a metal or plastic box is better, whereas for hardwood pipes, cloth or a wooden box, perhaps, I prefer. G'Nacht.

I don't see any current offerings, but this seller is awesome. Genuine leather products that stand up to time and use, and if you scroll through past sales, you can see how reasonable the products go for...frankly, I don't know how the seller does it so inexpensively. www.ebay.com/usr/deneenanscroll through "see all feedback" |

G' morning folks, this is an example of an Aluminium & metal box that contains my Blakemar Aristocrat Poker Briar, my Rattrays Butchers Boy briar & old faithful Medico Bulldog briar, and would not look out if place in any pipe club from London to Hong Kong or Philadelphia. There is no shake , rattle or roll from the pipes in the closed box, I am looking for perhaps a tartan cloth to wrap them in the box, gentlemen. My as of recently three staple home blends St.Bruno , Condor & Clan all RR, need air, in a cloth or light suede pouch, I find. Leather is fine in the Country for pipes on rural pursuits. But I prefer a cigar when rambling or fishing. Have a nice day folks. |

PS,In Rambling or in rural pursuits pipes are a dangerous health hazard and extra weight.
But I do not bother having a car, except for a pipe dream of an e!ectric car one day, maybe a Renault Twizzy for me & my dog Pop, enjoy your day whatever your time zone " Blackfeet" hi !!!

I'm a road warrior and my Ultimate Pipe Bag is my constant companion.   Sept 26, 2016 16:52:49 GMT -5 trailboss said: I don't see any current offerings, but this seller is awesome.

LoL! Those cloth Dunhill tobacco pouches in my bag probably retailed at around $100 |
