Thanks for PIFfing. It is so easy to toss things you don't like, but someone else may. I PIFfed some Arko I was going to toss. Yeah, postage cost more than the stick, but the receiver enjoyed it.
But that $100 Peterson can last a lifetime,, and your sons, if properly looked after.
I put in an order for some along with some more tobacco to try out. I'm not much of a clencher, but I'd rather keep my stems nice and neat. We'll see how it goes.
Anyone have and use a good alternative to softies like surgical tubing or shrink tubing, I'd love to hear and see about it
I used one last night for the first time and really liked it. Picked some up after reading this thread in fact. I don't clench all the time, but find it really comfortable regardless.
I got some in Sendai the other weekend and absolutely love them.
Do you take them off after each use? And do you find it's difficult to get them onto larger pipes? That Alexander Briar Poker has a really large lip. Are they all one size fits all?

They are one size fits all, but I have a couple pipes with very wide stems and they don't last as long on those pipes. My eye teeth tend to wear holes in the softys pretty fast on those pipes. To get them on a wide pipe I put the softy in my mouth and get them wet and they slide on much easier, I also leave them on all the time.
)I was able to find 2 sizes of softies.. an ebay seller listed 2 sizes, so I got some of each. Still don't use them much, though.
I used them for a bit (no pun intended), but I don't like having to taste the rubber when I'm trying to smoke.
I love softy bits and use them on most of my pipes. Hopefully they'll prevent chewed through stems, too.
I like and use!
I tried them and didn't like the feel of them, nor the taste. I merely don't clench the pipes I care about the stems on. I save those for when I'm sitting and relaxing and have no need to clench.
I don't really like to clench but there are times when you are smoking when you need both hands and don't have anywhere to put your pipe. With softies it is much more comfortable to clench for a moment without fear of marring the stem. I tend to use them on any pipe with a wide, flat stem.

I am still a notorious clencher and I now have softey bits on evey pipe except for my cobs.
Do they taste as bad as the softy bits?
