this is a good idea. i keep my nice glass bowl in a sunglass case and its all padded inside and hasen't broken for almost a year now. i break alot of small bowls too by dropping them :X
I keep my pipe in this wooden box with my grinder in my hiding spot when I'm not using it. but I always try to be extremely careful with every piece I use.
I have an awesome little bag for my pipe I bought at the headshop when I bought my pipe. It's like a pillow with a hole in the middle of it and a drawstring, so it stays all nice and snug. And there's lots of room, I can fit a lighter, my pipe (just a little glass spoon), and my stash tin (a Mario mushroom that used to have candy in it) in there. It's awesome.
It doesn't really protect a glass pipe very well, but I have always liked using Crown Royal bags for my drugs and paraphernalia.
Haha, is that a universal thing or something? When Daniel and I first started dating, that's what he kept his stuff in, and all his friends kept their shit in Crown Royal bags, and now my friends keep their shit in Crown Royal bags...I have quarters...like quarter dollar quarters in my Crown Royal bag. Haha.
lol I know a lot of people who use them too. They're very convenient for carrying drugs and paraphernalia. Plus, they look cool haha
My bro-in-law used crown royal bags too. His best friend's girlfriend got him crocheted cases for his pipes. I think dudes use em because its the most accesible container they can find. Lol I have a case for timber. Its black with blue stars, fuzzy with a zipper. I can fit the pie, which is pretty big, a lighter, and a small bag of weed. bout a dime. its pretty cool.
I've never broken any pieces before. One time I dropped my bubbler on the hard tile bathroom floor (it slipped out of my hand because it was wet) and while it was falling I thought "Oh shit, this is the end..." but when it hit it only made a small crack on the stem... thank god for really thick glass
I've had bad luck with pieces. My first pipe was so cool, it was glass and all leopard printy, and it had a hairline crack in it we didn't even notice until we got home with it. The headshop is an hour away, and Daniel thought we could try to use it anyway. It worked a few times before it caved. And then the next pipe I bought for myself was so freaking awesome, it was a blue snake with eyes and its mouth was the carb and the top of its head was the bowl and its body was all curvy and you smoked out of the end of its tail. I loved that pipe SO much. And then the neighbors decided to call the cops and tell them we were drug dealers, so we got our house turned upside down and a lot of shit broken and they took all our pieces, my friend's bongs and our pipes and even some shit Daniel's parents had from way back in the day stashed in their bedroom closet (they don't live here now, but they still have some stuff here). Then we got a new pipe a couple of months later when we weren't scared shitless anymore and it just recently cracked in the bottom of the bowl the last time Daniel tried to scrape the resin out of it. My newest pipe is still safe, though, and our roommate just bought an awesome pipe that's shaped like a penguin.
i still have the second bowl i ever bought, samuel taylor coleridge. i've dropped that thing on concrete more than once, and theres not a scratch on the motherfucker in 04 in the summer once i had it in the pocket of a pair of shorts that i forgot had a hole in it. got out of the car and walk for a second then it just fell straight down to the sidewalk. perfectly intact, no visible cracks anywhere :cheers2:
