Pipe Cleaners & Filters
As pipes can be made of refined materials and often require maintenance to keep them in top condition, cleaners and filters are always advised to all smokers.

Pipe Knives & Tools
Something such as a pipe reamer is always a good option when it comes to optimising your bowl and controlling the carbon build up which can often affect the smoke’s consistency.
If you are a regular pipe smoker, you may want to check often for blockages which can go unnoticed over time until your puff becomes a little difficult. A pipe knife is your best option for clearing out any stubborn blockages and they sometimes also come complete with a tamper for your bowl.
Two added tools which are not necessarily essentials for your pipe but are bonuses as far as efficiency goes are pipe covers and mouthpiece bites. A cover will prevent spillages from your bowl and also deter items from going when not in use whereas a bite is preferred by those who might be likely to bite on their pipe stems when puffing.
Finally, if you have an array of different pipes and you want somewhere to keep them, invest in a pipe rack for stylish and useful storage of your products.
