Tampers & Tools - 8deco Tamper - Legend Redwood
A worthwhile “splurge”
I’m super frugal when it comes to pipe accessories and couldn’t imagine this being any better than a Czech tool or golf tee. Decided to just give this a shot to get free shipping and I’m glad I did. It’s now the only tamper I use. We just need a 8deco to make a briar one.

Stands & Pouches - Grafton Leather Pipe Stand
Good item at a good price
Don't let my 3 star review discourage you from this pipe stand. It’s stiff, durable, and looks decently nice. It’s a good value at $6.

Missouri Meerschaum - Mini with Amber Stem
It's (mostly) clear what you’re getting into
I knew this would be a tiny pipe so I am not surprised that it gave such a short smoke. What did surprise me was that you can poke a hole right through the bottom of the chamber. It does not have a hardwood bottom nor the shank that goes through the bowl and touches the opposite end of the chamber.

Cornell & Diehl - Constellation
Why Isn't This Blend More Talked About?
I just recently stumbled on this and thought I would try a couple ounces and wow, I'll be buying this by the pound moving forward! It’s labelled by SP as being in the English family but for those that like English Aromatics like Sillem's Black or Distinguished Gentleman. It’s got that sweet Latakia taste that English Aromatic lovers like myself enjoy. It’s light on taste and strength which makes it easy to smoke all day.
