Handmade leather pipe pouch, the early years

[Branzig]

Speaking of, here's my latest iteration of a roll-up. I got a really awesome, pliable, distressed leather and worked on fixing the flaws from my prototype. I got my measurements about right and I'm happy with the results. That top flap folds down for protection and the whole thing rolls up pretty tight.

You're pumping these things out like a boss!

I dig the doubled-up storage pouches on this one. Ever thought about trying to line the inside of one of the pouches to hold raw tobacco?

I haven't really. Now that you mention it, I'm having trouble picturing how to do it. I could line one of the pockets with a thin, smooth leather and add a flap. That would probably work better on the first pouch I made. If you have a vision let me know, I'd like to improve on these things.

I guess I envision something like sewing 9 mil plastic into the inside of one of the pouch. I think that would work well. Then you could just dump whatever blend you wanted to smoke that day straight into the pocket and away you go. The 9 mil is thick, so it would hold humidity fairly well and if you roll the pouch up tight I think it would seal off fine for at least your day out and about.

The only other thing I could think of is sewing in a latex bag inside the pocket as well. I think higher end pipe pouches have latex liners in them...

Just spewing out ideas from the top of my head here

Thanks, that's a good idea and I think it would be pretty easy to add. I'll try one like that.
