@Amos_Umwhat Do those rubber tips really make it more comfortable to smoke? I've gotten a couple with pipes but haven't tried them. Do they taste like rubber?

I didn't think I'd like them, but I do. No discernible taste. I wipe them off with a paper towel when I clean the pipe, i.e. every bowl I smoke, well, sometimes two. Then, every few bowls I wipe them with an isopropyl alcohol pad before putting the pipe back into rotation. If they start looking ratty, get new ones.
They're cheap. They also protect the mouthpiece on the stem from bite marks, prolonging the utility of them stem, in my opinion. I've learned to order a few packs when I get them, because I tell myself that I'm ordering pipe cleaners and will get them then, however I then start looking at tobaccos and pipes, and if I escape that trap I'm in a hurry to place the order and get off site. So, then I look back at what I just ordered and think "oh crap, forgot the rubber tips".
Give them a try, a few times to get used to it, compare for yourself and see if you like them. Took me a minute to get used to them, but now I put them on all my pipes.

Smoking some coffee infused Edward G. Robinson's blend in the Radice Rind Candlewax before harvesting some tangerines. Without a control sample it's hard to say how much impact the coffee beans in the tea strainer have made on the tobacco.

Finishing a bowl of Dan Limerick, next up will be Dan SVH.
Edit: changed my mind. Having a cigar before work.
