@pappyjoe I love your shelf made of fence board. I have a small 3 pipe rack and a churchwarden rack that I keep cobs in but most of my pipes stay in their box until I smoke them. When life slows down enough my plan is to make a rack to put them on.
My current storage is much more expansive and nicer, but I stumbled upon the pipe rack i made during college. I had a cork board above my desk in the dorm and i made a pipe rack out of index cards and push pins. I just stumbled across it, hand a laugh, and I thought I would share it with you guys.
Most of my pipe collection is doubled up in pipe boxes on a bookcase but I had this old Castello rack restored early last spring. The restoration cost more than what I paid for the rack but it's a very rare and an important piece in the collection.
Been working on this, I still got to remove the shelves stain them and trim them out maybe add one more. But this is what it looks like so far, I believe in the end she will be out standing.
I'm a bit intimidated, you guys have some beautiful pipes and display racks. Mine is in the room that we have turned into a library and I just use the built in shelf for my mason jars and tubs, then just pop those pipes right up against them when not in use! Happy new year everybody
@PappyJoe I have heard good things, perhaps I should grab one some day I do own one briar but it was in my hand when I took the photo! Also I ordered up a Mr. Brog to try out just to see how I like pearwood.
The bulk of the pipes are here and there around the front room of our three-room Manhattan apartment (which in a building that was complete about the turn of the century---the 19th into the 20th century....).
Below is my "ready quiver"--the pipes in current rotation. Also glimpsed...some of my tobacco stash, the four inks in current rotation and the Johnny Walker Red used for general pipe cleaning and the acetone used to clean the stems of my GBD Perspex-stemmed pipes...
I moved mine around a bit, the pipes kept falling over and I was worried one day one of them would fall to the floor instead of just the table...I like this setup much better
Don't have any real cabinet storage system but I do have a Sherlock Holmes hanging pipe cabinet as well as a 24 pipe rack I keep on a book shelf. Here are a few pictures of my pipes and the cabinet, as well as a small desk display I have in my media room that dedicated to Sherlock Holmes.

@Corey562 I like the rustic look of the cabinet, you have a nice collection there!
You fellas have nice racks! I need to experiment with the horizontal drying method some of you are using.
I just posted these pics to another thread recently, but I figured I would go ahead and add them to this thread for posterity's sake.
@paulwansing, nice set-up, a lot of old school tobaccos.
