Essential accessories

THE PIPE TOOL: An essential accessory, it has three functions: tamping down the tobacco to regulate the draft; cleaning the shank and unblocking tobacco if packed too tightly; removing ash and tobacco remnants at the end of the smoke.

PIPE CLEANERS: They're essential to drying and cleaning the pipe. To be used often. If doubled, it will clean the mortise, into which the mouthpiece tenon is inserted, a part often neglected, although coal tar residues form there. As previously said: never disassemble a warm pipe.
