Favorite Accessories

The tamper pad is in fact a dome, think of an inverted miniature saucer. To further the effect of the doming, I cant the tamper as I go around the bowl, further heaping the ash towards the center of the bowl.

I believe that Brian Levine, "The Voice" of The Pipes Magazine Radio Show, had a hand in designing it.

Very interesting. I'd love to try one but haven't seen one that strikes my fancy aesthetically.

Speaking of accessories, I noticed the zippo pipe insert is just a regular insert with a big hole on either end of the wick for the flame to travel.

Being the smart man I am, I decided, "why buy one of these, when I can just drill through my regular zippo?"

I tried and I failed, and now I neither have a regular insert or a pipe insert. I have a non functioning insert.

It also has a cap on the chimney, you can get a zippo pipe insert for about $12.

You mean color-wise?

In which case, I knew which one I wanted, clicked on the "email me when available" link, got an email a few weeks later from SP. The rest is history.

My favorite pipe tool. Large-ish (14 mm) tamper head. Had 2, lost 1. Have come up empty handed (so far) in finding a suitable replacement.

Here you go.
I've tried to illustrate the "dome" in the tobacco and the dome of the tamper foot.

Love this old Kleen Reem! Expands to fit any pipe. The end screws off and is a drill bit. Perfect for opening the draw on pipes that need it. It’s a precision tool.

I’ve had the StD lighter for about 20 years, and the IM a couple months, I’m a big fan.

Edit: ha STDs

Found this ashtray on Etsy. It’s made of concrete. A little pricey at $50, but I love it so much that I got two. Comes in a few different colors.

Many fancy tampers that I seldom use but keep on display in a jewelry box with glass lid along with some of my better lighters; several pouches; hand-made display cabinets for pipes; Buttner and Senior reamers, a few racks, a leather mat and pipe cleaner holder which gather dust, pipe cloths, polish, various sized jars for loose tobacco, etc.
