Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies - Pipemaster Clean and Cure 2oz
Good stuff, but..
I used this stuff for the first ten or twelve years of my pipe smoking "career", but in the forty years since then I've used Everclear. It's much the same formulation, C&C adding a deodorizer (?) I add some cognac to mine. The nice thing with Everclear is that when you're done cleaning your pipes you can make Jell-o shots. To be fair your might use this for Jell-o shots, but I've never tried it, so do so at your own risk. So if you live in a dry county (by that I mean one with NO Alcohol sales, not one with low humidity) this is definitely the best stuff out there.

Drucquer & Sons - Inns of Court 100g
Great heritage, great product.
The Inns of Court in London are the professional associations for barristers in England and Wales. There are four Inns of Court – Gray's Inn, Lincoln's Inn, Inner Temple and Middle Temple.[1] -- Wikipedia The heritage is as great as the modern product; richly satisfying. Thanks to my late friend Mike who left me two tins. RIP, my friend.

G. L. Pease - Quiet Nights 2oz
Aptly named
I've long found this my favorite before bedtime smoke; relaxing , thought provoking,"comforting" after hectic day now in retirement. I have three varying size briars dedicated to this tobacco, depending on late evening mood. It's one of the many blessing I've enjoyed; great, loving spouse of forty years, a loyal dog, a curiosity that hasn't waned in my 67th year, freedom and prosperity.

Tampers & Tools - Senior Pipe Reamer
The best by far!
I've had a few reamers over the past 45 years but this is the best, no question about it.. This is a a fine, precision instrument, much like a micrometer. If you cherish your pipes, this is the tool to ream them and to make fine, gradual adjustments to protect the inside of the bowl. When I clean mine, I insert it loosely, then adjust the reamer a quarter turn at a time.
