Pipe Storage: Do's and Don'ts

When it comes to storing your pipe, there are some rules you should definitely be aware of. That’s why we’re presenting you with the most common methods and sharing which beginner mistakes you should avoid.

If you’ve just started smoking pipes, many processes and rules may still be unfamiliar. Even after smoking and cleaning your pipe, you can still make significant mistakes. For example, if you allow your pipe to rest incorrectly or for too short a time, you’ll soon feel the negative effects. To maintain the quality of your pipe as it was on day one, we’ve gathered and listed the most important do’s and don’ts for pipe storage:

What to Consider When Storing Your Pipe

• Be cautious when storing your pipe and protect it from negative external factors such as moisture, direct sunlight, or dust.
• To allow your pipe to dry properly after every smoke, make sure it is stored in a way that allows for air exchange.
• The ideal temperature for storage is around 20° Celsius. It’s also important that the pipe is not exposed to sharp temperature changes.
• In general, your pipe should rest for several days between smoking sessions to ensure it is perfectly dry. However, at a minimum, there should be 24 hours between uses.

What to Avoid When Storing Your Pipe

• Do not store your pipe in airtight containers or packaging like plastic bags. Otherwise, the pipe won’t have enough time to dry properly before the next use.
• Always take care of your pipe. Protect it from physical damage or falls. The best way to do this is by using dedicated storage places for your pipe.
• Your pipe should also be stored out of reach of children. This is both for the well-being of the children and to protect your pipe.

If you have a place at home that meets all these requirements, you can confidently use it for storage. However, if that's not the case or if you're simply looking for stylish storage options, specialized accessories may be the right choice for you.

Pipe Cabinets

The classic option is pipe cabinets, which let your pipes shine in all their glory. These cabinets are usually made of wood and have glass doors to showcase the pipes. Don’t worry: The specially designed cabinets ensure enough airflow, allowing the pipe to dry properly.

For storing additional accessories, such as a pipe tamper, filters, or tobacco, the cabinets come with additional drawers. This way, you can keep your set in one place, saving you the hassle of searching for items. Another advantage: Pipe cabinets can also be ordered as wall models, making them a true visual highlight!

Pipe Stands

Pipe stands are devices primarily designed to prevent your pipe from falling over while at rest. For example, you can use them to position your pipe correctly in the pipe cabinet. Another function is their role during the cooling period between smoking and cleaning. Pipe stands are excellent for storing your pipe during this time.
