These are the daily use items that are permanently out on my desk in support of pipe smoking:
I have two Peterson large tobacco jars. These leather-wrapped jars hold quite a lot of tobacco and keep it nice and moist. I keep Boswell's Best in the brown Grafton jar, and am still deciding which English blend I want to keep in the just-arrived black Avoca jar (tossup between Northwoods, Westminster, and Balkan Sasieni at the moment).
My active canning jar is stored in a foam can koozie in order to keep it sheltered from ambient sunlight (my 8oz Ball jars fit perfectly). I've recently been smoking a single blend for several days at a time, and am currently smoking Haddo's Delight.
I really like the Hide & Drink leather mat and pipe rest -- inexpensive, simple, effective, and have a bit of style. I use an old Cult tobacco tin to dump my ash/dottle into after smoking.
The blue ceramic oblong dish is for all my accessories: IM Corona Old Boy primary lighter, Neerup brush, various tampers, and a couple other bits and bobs.
The round Wales dish is for my filters. I prefer Savinelli 6mm and 9mm balsa filters and occasionally their 9mm charcoal filters. I use the Falcon dry rings when I smoke those pipes. About half of my pipes are filtered in one way or another.
But the star of the show, and my personal favorite accessory of all time, is the Savinelli Table Pipe Accessories Kit. This wooden cylinder holds a generous array of pipe cleaners in the central hollow, and has three sturdy pipe tools with individual handles that magnetically attach to the outside of the cylinder. The tools are quick to access and return and very comfortable to use. The whole thing doesn't take up much space and has been so convenient every time I smoke a pipe. I had to order this from Savinelli directly and it was about 48 Euros.
