Stands & Pouches - Leather Stand Up Tobacco Pouch Black
Stellar for the price
I've only been using it a few weeks, but it works great so far. The latex doesn't have a strong smell, and the leather is nice and soft. The leather feels on the cheap side, but at this price that's to be expected. If you don't overstuff it, you can flip the main closure flap inside when it's open so you get a fully free-standing box to fill your pipe from. Very handy for gravity filling without making a mess. Even then it still fits a good amount of tobacco.

Absorbent but thick
Well they work great when they fit. Don't shed too badly, and they are very absorbent, but they're very thick. Good when you're deep cleaning stems and bowls, but they won't fit the bits of most of my pipes. If you're only smoking Missouri Meerschaums they'll serve you well, but otherwise not a good everyday pipe cleaner.

Sheds so much you'll think it's snowing
I think the only thing holding the cotton to the metal wire is static cling. These things will be relegated to cleaning small parts out in the workshop where I can blow the mountain of loose fibers they leave behind out with compressed air. I don't know how people rate all of this brand's cleaners higher than Brighams with how much worse they shed.

Should've stuck with Brigham
Holy cow the lint. I think if I kept running one through my fingers it might just leave a bare wire by the time all the loose fibers stopped shedding off. Had to use a small shank brush to push out the wad of cotton one left in a stem.

Serviceable cleaners
They clean well enough. Minimal shedding, though you will notice some loose bits of fluff. Running them through pinched fingers once or twice before sticking them down your pipe helps.
