Damn, y'all. I suppose I need to get busy with something classy like these. I'm still newer to the hobby and have spent my resources so far on pipes and tobacco. Thus far, I have five large exquisitely mismatched mugs on my desk for storing my pipes. Stem down, as I'm a civil disobedient.
Seriously, though, what's the theory behind stem up? If I keep my stems clean, which I do, it seems to me that the bowls will air better upright.
@Bloodhound61, the theory is that any excess moister (even though you run a pipe cleaner through it) will drain into the bowl instead of through the stem which can gunk up as well as cause a foul taste.
@motie2 I have a Scottie Dog and a Stallion resin pipe holder and a metal sea captain. All three are ones I found at junk shops. I'll have to look at the links you provided. Thanks
