The Pipe Necessities Bag:


One the heels of the Possibles bag comes the Necessities bag. Tim Crowder, one of the principles of Two Cousins Pipe Racks, asked me to design a smaller version of the Possibles bag (he even supplied pictures :-)) and this is what i came up with. Sort of reminds me of a US Army Field Ammo bag.

It has no handle as it is made to be slung over your shoulder or across the chest "bandolero" style. It's 7 inches long by 9 inches high. It has a pocket under the flap. The gusset is 4.5 inches so it will open and fill to about 4 inches. There are two pipe pockets inside, each will hold 2 normal to large sized pipes in their socks when placed bowl to stem. The rest of the bag is unlined. There is no hand stitching in the bag.

I'll only be able to make them when the right skins show up but I love the design so I'll be looking. I will do everything I can to keep the price of these bags low but this will be entirely dependant upon the price of the leather I use so it will fluctuate somewhat.

Our Standard Pipe Bags are made of leather with these exceptions; the stitching, which is #138 poly, the Nylon Coil Zippers and the brass hardware. There are no fillers. The bags for the most part are cowhide and buckskin. They are also available on a limited basis in other leathers such as bison, buffalo and bull. The entire bag is cut by hand and both the exterior and interior is machine stitched.

All Smokin Holsters pipe bags are designed to protect your pipes as they should be protected. The pockets are designed to expand and will hold two normal sized pipes in pipe socks when fitted bowl to stem in the pocket. I've tried to capture the essence of the bags in the pictures shown on the site however leather is a very tactile product and you can't truly appreciate the bags without feeling the leathers.

Dimensions:
7" x 9" x 4.5"

Price:  $275 - $360 (depending on the skins), the average will run from $290 - $325.

Note: You only get the bags everything else is for display only.  Leather is a natural product.  All leather has it's own grain and natural flaws which will vary from product to product. Very often the flaws, in the form of scars, brands and the animals inherent growth pattern will naturally become part of the leather and the design of the pouch. We believe this adds to the uniqueness of every pouch and pipe bag we design in leather. All the leather we use, including exotic leathers such as snakeskin, bison, etc.,  have been processed for legal distribution in the US and Canada and is legal as an export product from the US.  All of my leather is purchased through 100% legal sources and I use no products that are in any way considered endangered or protected.
