[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 8548705, member: 649"]Me, too. I don't profess to know much about this stuff, but it doesn't seem surprising that such a set wouldn't be able to accommodate a sponge in the lid. I'd think it would be used on a temporary basis, perhaps for a shooting party, and not meant for long-term storage of tobacco. The mouthpieces of the pipes would be inserted through the holes from underneath, which is how this figural Limoges pipe stand/tobacco jar was used: [ATTACH=full]428047[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
