Accessories of A Smoking Pipe

Cleaners: Generally, a pipe cleaner is a cotton wrapper around a metal core that is being used to clean the draught holes of the stem and mouthpiece of the pipe. Pipe cleaners are indispensable and fortunately inexpensive. The two basic types are soft, fluffy cleaners which dry up any moisture, and thin, wiry cleaners which dig out deposits.

Pipe rack: A pipe rack is a storing place for pipes; it holds the pipes when not in use. Pipe racks vary from those that accommodate one or two to those that hold a dozen or even more! To enjoy pipe smoking best, one needs several pipes to accommodate one’s moods and activities.

Pipe tamper: A short metal bar with a flat round piece at one end to tamp down the lit tobacco.

Sweeteners: Liquid pipe cleaners, also known as pipe sweeteners, dissolve the hum and tar while leaving a fresh aroma in the bowl, stem and mouthpiece.

Smokers companion or Multi purpose pipe tool: The smokers companion, also called a multi purpose tool is the most useful of pipe accessories. It consists of a spoon, a prodder and a tamper in a metal holder. Usually it is built like a pocket knife, often accompanied by a knife blade reamer.

System: A system is an anti-nicotine device; it can be fitted in the flue of the pipe as an extra feature to regulate and cool the air flow, or to counteract the moisture which arises when the tobacco is burnt.

HUMIDOR: A thing in which to store tobacco. Ideally - cheap and air-tight (try Tupperware) - one places fresh tobacco in it and once sealed, it will maintain the tobacco in a smokable consistency indefinitely. A major alternate use of a humidor is the "re-moistening" of dried out tobacco. For this action one adds a source of moisture to the tobacco in the humidor before sealing.
