Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies - 8deco Premium Shank Brush
Must Have
These brushes are great. I use them with alcohol for deep cleaning and also dry as a final step in my regular cleaning process to remove pipe cleaner fibers. I don't use cotton pipe cleaners on my cobs due to the fiber, just these brushes. I store them in test tubes and culture tubes with screw down caps.

Mac Baren - Burley: London Blend 3.5oz
Well Done
Great stuff, I can't recommend it enough. If you can get it now that it's gone, get it.
Stands & Pouches - Brigham 4 Pipe Bag Vintage
Another Almost-Perfect Bag...
Just like with the 2-pipe version of this bag, it needs another half inch in length, width and height. I am a big fan of bent billiards and bent pots. The last time I tried to pack this bag for travel, I had to pull my bents out and replace them with straights. Seems like the bents were rubbing on eachother because I have noticed marks on the rims of my bowls. Other than that disappointment, it tends to fit a decent cache of daily essentials including a small tobacco pouch and two sleeves of pipe cleaners.
Tampers & Tools - Rubber Pipe Bits (2 pack)
Essential
I feel very confident that I am not damaging my pipes as long as I am using these. For that, I am grateful. They fit pretty tight, probably by design, and can be annoying to fight on and off.
Stands & Pouches - Economy Folding Pipe Stand
Awkward but indispensable
Sometimes it is tedious to keep a pipe upright in these stands without it slipping over or out of the stand completely. They do an adequate job with careful use. They would benefit from some kind of surface "grip" such as a layer of firm rubber.
Lighters - Zippo Antique Silver Plate Pipe Lighter
Handsome in person
It's a zippo, nothing new there. Just wanted to say that it looks awesome in person. Easily my favorite finish on a zippo ever. I have since purchased the copper version and it looks great too. There is a brass version too but I will stick to silver and copper.
Stands & Pouches - Brigham 2 Pipe Bag with Tobacco Pouch Vintage
Great bag, almost perfect
This bag looks great, feels great, fits two bent billiards tolerably well with two or three lighters and some other things. At first I really didnt think I could fit the tobacco pouch at all, but upon reflection it fit well enough. One of my billiards is protruding through the side just a little. I really think this bag could benefit from another half inch in depth (more room) and another half inch in length (more accommodating to length of pipe cleaners). I may be asking too much of this bag but its doing a good job so far. Another point I would like to make is that rubber tips on my stems make it a bit of a fight through the pipe straps. It gets easier with a bit of angle. Less wide straps would probably reduce this problem. UPDATE: I managed to barely fit a Briarworks petite bent billiard C13 into the bag along with my usual kit above. I'm happy with this bag and can't wait to buy the four-pipe version.
