Started getting some complaints from the tobacco odor coming from my obscure office in the corner of our basement, no HVAC vents in the room. I think it's coming from smoked pipes more than tobacco, still a complaint, always smoke outdoors, dirty pipe cleaners etc. are immediately put in an empty sealable water bottle. Have a Hunter air filter in the room, run 24/7. The only tobacco left out, is to dry before smoking, storage in original tin or jars. Any suggestions for a better air cleaner? Or suggestions, short of stop piping, divorce etc.

A Rabbit air purifier might help, but the easiest might be to store your pipes somewhere outside as they dry, then storing them in a semi airtight cabinet in your room. Even as a smoker I can smell freshly smoked pipes walking by my rack.
Alternately maybe adhesive weather stripping along your door jambs and a door sweep on the bottom of your door to seal air leakage.

I too smell my smoked pipes whilst they are in the rack. Some days it's a pretty obvious odor. I've thought of letting them dry and "air out" outside, but the problem is I live in such a humid environment they won't dry at all outside... sometimes get more damp/wet.
Luckily it's just me and my 9 year old. And it's not that I don't care what she thinks/puts up with... I do. But my pipe smoking is non-negotiable, and she has no say in the matter lol

They want you to stop, but don't want to tell you so directly.
Not sure if this is a sound practice, but can dry pipes be stored in covered plastic containers/tubs? Might help contain the smell, though not as aesthetically pleasing as displaying the pipes on a nice rack.
I keep my pipes on racks in the spare bedroom, and you can definitely smell them when you enter the room. Not nearly as bad as cigarette smoke in a home, but noticeable, and I suspect more so to non-smokers.

I have to say that you are being very considerate in your pipe smoking, storage, and filtering the air in your office. Better than me.
I would hope for some consideration from your other.

Remember to forget me!
Is there scope for fitting an extractor, rather than a filter? There's always going to be some odour from the paraphernalia, and they'll be giving off the odours just as fast as the filter circulates the air around them. It might be easier to send that air outside, bringing the natural flow of air from the home into the office, rather than a filter churning up the air and letting the scents roll out into the home.
If dry my opinion is yes.
