A pipe holder and support structure is adapted to retain a smoking pipe therein while the support structure is in any desired position including a horizontal position, a generally upstanding position on a support surface, or a carried position having a support member thereof received in a pocket of a shirt or jacket with the smoking pipe on the outside of the pocket. The pipe support structure includes a backplate member having a pipe cushioning member mounted thereon and which has portions defining an elongated recess adapted to receive therein a lower portion of a stem and bowl of the smoking pipe. A pipe retaining member extends transversely of the elongated recess and is adapted to engage an upper portion of the stem to resiliently retain the smoking pipe in the elongated recess in the pipe cushioning member and to retain a heel of the bowl in engagement with an end portion of the pipe cushioning member. Opposed forces applied to opposite end portions of the pipe retaining member causes a center portion thereof to move away from the pipe cushioning member to permit the stem of the pipe to be inserted therebetween and retained therebetween upon release of the opposed forces.
