Ashtrays
A nice to have but not really a need to have, great for indoor smoking so you don't bosh your spent tobacco onto your brand new sofa but not entirely required as anything will do the trick.
Bag and Pouch
Please note: this briefcase was a birthday gift years ago. Regrettably a buying source is not known!
Cleaning Supplies
a tamper or a nail tool both will come in handy
Lighters
Jet lighters are okay if used briefly, otherwise they could overheat your briar pipe or give the tobacco a foul taste. Regular butane lighters are more easily controlled and cooler burning, but often have a foul taste. The best option to light your pipe is wooden kitchen matches.
Pipe Racks, rests, and stands
Pipe racks and stands come in many configurations, ranging from simple briar singles to more intricate ashtray models. Here are some for your consideration.
