Cornell & Diehl - Sun Bear Bourbon Cask 2oz
Queue the disappointment
Typical limited release experience. Waited in the queue as the page refreshed for over an hour and didn't get through. Three hours later, 25k tins are sold out. A waste of my and many other people's time. I can't wait to see someone on YouTube brag about how many tins they got to flip.

Drucquer & Sons - Blairgowrie 200g
Superb
My favorites change with the seasons, mood, what I’m drinking, but Blairgowrie is top tier. My only wish is for smaller volumes of to sample the full D&S lineup.

Peterson - Early Morning Pipe 50g
Just Add Coffee
As others have mentioned, this and a cup of coffee start a day after breakfast. Has aged well in a jar for my tastes.

Seattle Pipe Club - Seattle Evening 2oz
A Wonderful Evening
Somewhat analogous to Peterson's Nightcap. Smoky, rich, luxurious, creamy, smooth. I keep returning to this lately and am not mad about it.

Peterson - Nightcap 50g
Classic
This was my first tinned tobacco and first English. After starting out on aromatics, I wish I had bypassed that era and started here, because it opened a whole new world. Still a favorite years later.

Replacement Stems - Black Bent Filtered Stem (for Missouri Meerschaum)
Good As New
I started out on a couple of MM pipes, figuring I’d make my mistakes on something less expensive but still great. The stems are soft and get a bit rough when clenching. These will make a used pipe feel like new again. If you have a translucent amber stem and want to replace it for a cleaner look (especially with a filter) this is a great option.

Tampers & Tools - Tobacco Pipe Wind Cap
Excellent for Travel
I bought these intending to use them on walks and windy nights, but they are outstanding for packing pipes in advance. They retain tobacco for transit, to slightly dry before smoking, when using a delayed gratification method, and when finished smoking. When used with pipes having a deep, less tapered chamber and chamber diameter around .8 to .85", slightly bend the metal tabs for a snug fit.

Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies - Peterson Pipe Cleaners - Bristle (50 Pack)
Tough When Needed
Along with Peterson Tapered Pipe Cleaners, these bristled cleaners may default. I wish they were a bit thicker. They do double over well to clean out shanks, as previously mentioned. They don't get used as often, but I typically clean (at some point) after each smoke.

Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies - Peterson Pipe Cleaners - Tapered (50 Pack)
Essential
My default pipe cleaners. I've yet to have an issue with lint as with other brands, including Blitz. Great for tapered System stems, these are easy to bend slightly to avoid scraping the inside of a bent stem with the wire. These and Peterson Bristle Pipe Cleaners are great options for more aggressive cleaning.

Tampers & Tools - Rubber Pipe Bits (2 pack)
Acrylic Stems Made Comfortable
Acrylic stems are easy to maintain but slippery as a fish. These make clenching less tiresome and mitigate teeth marks on vulcanite stems. It took some getting used to, but now I can’t go without using fishtails or P-Lips. Removes with minor protest for cleaning. Probably easier on teeth, too.

Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies - Peterson Silver Polishing Cloth
Brilliant Silver Luster
Restoring a brilliant luster, a light polish with this cloth makes short work of silver tarnish. One cloth cleaned several pipes, and it should have some life left. Less effective on copper, it’ll remove the worst of the tarnish with effort. Time will tell but regular handling might diminish the tarnish inhibitor; meanwhile, my pipes look spectacular.
