As others have already answered they are called rubber bits or rubber softies. I buy them in ten-packs from Rubber Softies - https://www.gqtobaccos.com/accessories/rubber-softies/ But other vendors might be more convenient for you in the USA. Imo they are great for clenching.- Gecko

...And One Pipe To Rule Them All
My humble beater pipe a Peterson System Standard 317. It's like a loyal dog that's always there for you. It always smoke good and is great for clenching and on the go smoking while doing other stuff. I smoke it almost every day and will need to get a couple more 317 so it can rest sometimes.- Gecko

Do You Like Your Peterson System Pipe?
I have two (a 317 and a 306) and I am planning on buying two more. Needles to say I love them. They helped me crack the mysteries of smoking and enjoy habitual pipe smoking. Takes an extra 30 seconds to clean, no biggie. The main advantage to me is that they smoke dryer and cooler and there's... -
