In most cases, an impressive rack is overrated, more show than function. You can read that sentence anyway you see fit
I had to read that twice to see what you did there. I think I'm slowing down.

It gets better after the sixth time. As anyone with a nice pipe rack can tell you, familiarity invites appreciation. You can read that sentence any way you see fit. I'm not easily impressed by a nice rack, but I like a good one when I see it.

Pipe baskets are good for travel too.
Could have sold a couple "bush" pipes at the Dartmouth Powwow this weekend thanks to this basket, but I was there to demonstrate basketmaking and traditional materials prep.

I'm talking about her pipe rack. Oh, yeah, all the time I bump into ladies who have nice pipe racks. Welcome to New Orleans.
As someone who organizes everything in piles willy-nilly, I like the basket system. Personally I use the empty cigar box system, but they are similar.
I have a couple of pipe racks but my pipes usually end up outside the bounds of my racks. They are scattered all over the house where I rediscover them every time I clean my desk, reach for a fresh pair of pants in my closet, start the lawnmower, or open a teakettle to find out what's making all that noise when the water comes to a boil.
There is something to be said about a genius' disarray. Every day is full of pleasant surprises.
I've never thought to look in any of my tea pots for missing pipes... until now!

@Wooda was onto something. The basket system is good.

Thanks for reviving this @Citizen B a fun an enjoyable thread. I like those pipes woven into the basket. Pipes man. Why the hell do I have so many?

Of course the cabinet contains a tin of Velvet. You love that Play-Doh tobacco.
I don't blame you. Velvet does smoke smooth as velvet.
