Most smokers clench their pipes. It's something that is a reality of pipe smoking, no matter who you are. Instead of continually hurting your teeth and marking up your pipe, why not put a soft rubber bit over the tip of your pipe stem? This will make your pipe more comfortable and will protect your treasured pipe as well.

Pipe Bits
Somewhat a pain to get on but I guess it makes for a secure fit. The rubber bits took a "bit" to get used to but I am now comfortable with the feel. The bits are odorless and do not interfere with tobacco flavor. Overall a great product.

A bit small
Overall I am pleased with the rubber bits. I tried them on three different pipes (falcon bent, Missouri meerschaum, and another whose name escapes me). Though they proved to be tight on two out of three this allowed me to get a good firm grasp without having to try to hard. I did not experience the rubber taste that others have complained about.

Nice and Soft in a Clench
Even if I were not a "clencher," I would use these! But I am a clencher. As I see it, these BJLong soft rubber pipe bits are splendid just to aid in comfortably and securely keeping my pipes in the right place in my mouth. Using these little gems are perfect for the health of my teeth, first and foremost. Plus they really keep whatever pipe I happen to be smoking at the time securely in place in my mouth exactly where I want it. No slipping and sliding, and no falling out of my mouth! Also, they make the whole experience more pleasurable. Instead of my teeth bearing the lifting, these soft pipe bits provide the extra leverage that makes the pipe much more manageable in keeping it in place without effort. In addition, you don't end up having your teeth coming into direct contact with the hard bit of your pipe, whether you're pipe bits made of acrylic or vulcanite. So that's never an issue. And they keep the stems nice and clean and hole-free. And to top it off, for me at least, I am a clencher -- especially when my mind is elsewhere -- so I use these on all my pipes, and I have more than a few and always looking to find a new pipe. That means I keep a goodly supply of BJLongs on hand because I want them for each and every pipe I'm going to purchase. I always trust TobaccoPipes.com to get my new pipes and my expanding supply of BJLong soft rubber pipe bits. Believe me, these folks are the very, very best you can find! Thanks, team!

Buy these - -
First time I've tried something like this to save my bits. I nave my pipe in my mouth a lot of the time while I work and tend to bite the stem, can't tell you how many I've broken or bit through. Once the stem is ruined it's bye bye pipe! These are great to take the pressure off the stem and save my pipes.

Comfortable bits
Great feeling and very comfortable bit. The only cons, is that at first try, it leaves an unpleasant rubber taste in your mouth...but don't worry, it desappears after your first smoke...Definitely I would recomend it!!!

Easy
I really enjoy the feel of these bits.

Works great!
These are a must, I know some "purists" snuff these for whatever reason but, they're a necessity in my opinion. Very pliable and extremely durable. Get a couple pairs while they last.

Good Idea
This is the first time using a bit and it works very well for me.

They work.
I wish I recieved more than two rubber mouthpieces but they do work. I fit one around a wide stem on my Savinelli Caramella rusticated pipe and its great. Now I can clench my teeth down on the stem of my pipe with no teeth marks.
