Rubber Bit Protectors

Rubber Bit Protectors are a huge hit among the P&C Faithful, and it's easy to understand why. First, they will protect your stems from tooth marks and chatter, preserving the value of your pipes. They are also much more comfortable for people with sensitive teeth or dentures and give you a more positive grip on the mouthpiece. They're also great for vulcanite stems, as they help protect against oxidation.

P&C carries two sizes of Rubber Bit Protectors, so you can put one on almost any pipe you own. The Large has thinner, stretchier walls and a larger opening, so they're ideal for those extra-wide stems that are so popular on oval-shank pipes. The Smalls have thicker walls and a smaller opening, giving you a snugger fit on smaller stems and a touch more cushioning.

Now, P&C offers Buy More, Save More pricing on Rubber Bit Protectors, so it pays to stock up!

The best product to come

The best product to come down the pike in long while. For me it's a must have.

They're alright, little bit awkward in the mouth because of the chunkiness. Fits good on fat pipe stemps like my baracinni

Clencher’s paradise

Jul 15, 2022

They look good and even though I’m a clenched I bought these for a different purpose: to cover holes in a Magic Inch pipe that didn’t seem to smoke well. I slid the rubber sleeve over the holes and viola, she smokes well again. I may try them as intended and I’m sure they will work well for that too.

Stem Saver

Jun 15, 2022

Great product. Feel good and really save my stems from early destruction!

Need a better catalog description

Jun 03, 2022

Need a better catalog description size wise. There are three sizes--this is the small. They make smoking much less tedious and more relaxing when you don't have to clench a pipe stem over time. Don't know why I took so long to get them over the years--they're that good!

Cheap insurance against split and broken pipe stems

May 19, 2022

I have used this product for several years now and not only is it easier on my teeth, but it also protects the stem from bites, tooth scratches and breakage. A pipe just doesn't feel right without one. The large are thinner than the small, but they are still waaay worth the money.

A Winner!

May 11, 2022

Good product. Does the job of protecting the stem without being intrusive, and has a good secure feel in the mouth. Unfortunately, once installed it may make pipe storage in a pipe rack or case difficult or impossible. That being said the benefit far outweighs the inconvenience, so 4 stars!

They work well protecting my

May 11, 2022

They work well protecting my pipe stem. Highly recommended.

Good buy!

Apr 22, 2022

Put these on all my pipes, and find them quite comfortable as well as serving the purpose of stem protection. Fit must be very tight so not to interfere with draw, so use the smallest that will fit on the stem.

Feb 24, 2022

Very comfortable, however they do tend to move with some of my stems. I plan to stock all sizes to make sure I have the right fit.

Fantastic bits.

Feb 01, 2022

Standard issue for clenchers. Perfect fit. Comfortable, secure bite. Durable material with no noticeable taste. Simple and perfect. I work with my hands, so I’ll likely put one on every pipe but my Churchwarden.

A real stem saver

Nov 20, 2021

Perfect tool for the job, don't clench without it. The fit must be tight or you can't hardly draw. The large fits large stems but is practically useless on a small stems. P&C has been out of the small for quite awhile now, wish they would replenish their inventory.

I tend to clench my

Oct 21, 2021

I tend to clench my pipe stem in my teeth as I work and ruin them. On one of my favorites, I worn the button nearly half through. These help to save me from having to buy replacement stems. These are inexpensive and work really well. So it saves money for the long run.

The pipe protectors are great for large pipe stems. P&C should also offer a small size.

Nice no bite marks on

Jul 19, 2021

Nice no bite marks on stem.

May work for you - didn't work well for me.

Jul 19, 2021

I bought five of these because I have a bad habit of chewing on all my pipe stems, leaving ugly tooth marks. However, adding these bits to the end of the stem makes the stem awkwardly and uncomfortably large. Additionally, the bits quickly stretch out and lose their seal, making it difficult for a smooth and easy draw. I will use them when absent-mindedly chewing on my pipe stem, but when I actually light up a bowl, I will pass.

They certainly make pipe smoking

They certainly make pipe smoking more comfortable and prevent stem breakage.

May 23, 2021

Love these for my pipes. Keeps the stem safe from bite marks an provides extra grip if you are a clencher. The rubber material is pliable enough to stretch over most stems so should be good to go. Honestly I wouldn’t want to go without them on my pipes anymore, and hey they’re super cheap what’re you waiting for.

I ordered the large not realizing what size I needed. Seems like most pipes would work with smaller size. If I had ordered the correct size I think it would work fine.

Large Softy Pipe Bits

Apr 14, 2020

I've used rubber pipe-bits for years and years, to protect the stems since I tend to clench down hard. Problem has been putting standard bits on my larger pipes with wide stems. These solve that problem nicely. Only one drawback - hence 4 stars not 5 - is that the rubber is much thinner than with standard size bits, so I'm not sure these will last as long.

These are for larger than average people

Apr 12, 2020

Good product however they seem to be to large for me. They keep my jaw at an uncomfortable position and have sharp edges that needed to be trimmed with a razor.

These babies are clutch!

Mar 20, 2020

Amazing. These soft bits make it easier to clench, and helps prevent the bite marks on the stem. I wish I'd tried them sooner.

Feb 09, 2020

Bought these for my big ben 508 blackline. They are to large, but do fit. However they slip around and are so large my jaw is in an uncomfortable place. High quality product, should provide years of service.

I knew some people was using Softy pipe bits and decided to try it. To my pleasant surprise, it works great! It protects mouth piece from bite marks and it goes easy on your teeth against hard material mouth pieces like Lucite. One of my favorite pipes has mouse piece chipped a little and I was thinking of repairing it, but softy pipe bit covers that spot and I can smoke that pipe again without any discomfort. It’s a great product!

I bought some of these Softy Pipe Bits to use on pipes while I'm driving. They work great when clamping on the mouthpiece and helps keep my pipe in my mouth and protects the mouthpiece from hard clenching.

Small Pipe Bits

Product is fine, as expected. Not as thick/strong as some pipe bits I've used, but perfectly adequate. Protects the pipe bit, and provides for a more comfortable grip (on smaller bit pipes).

Each one lasts 4 months, depending on your bite. A good way to extend the pipe you smoke while driving or working.

Stem Protection

Oct 07, 2018

Most reviewers who don't like these rubber soft stem bits say it is because of the "taste". Well personally I don't detect any particular taste at all. I do however find that these soft rubber bits offer two advantages: 1). They protect my pipe stems from teeth marks, especially on thin stemmed pipes which seem to require a bit more pressure to hold by my teeth. The soft rubber is far more comfortable as well, also providing a better grip on the pipe. 2). The bit also provides stem protection against what many term "oxidation", that light brown patina that slowly begins to coat the vulcanite stems, (but I suspect it is not truly oxidation but rather the tars in the smoke mixing with moisture from the smoker's breath which produces the brownish layer, most especially near the mouth end of the stem). As far as the "large" size of this Softy Pipe Bits goes, it is very helpful for stems that are wider of course. I recommend using them, primarily for the first reason, protection and comfort. I'll continue to buy more as needed, (they don't last forever, and there's always another new pipe to protect).

These bits are perfectly fine, but I was expecting smaller bits, not the same size I can buy at my local shop. No worries, they work fine on most of my pipes. They just don't fit my churchwardens.

Nice and comfortable on the teeth, especially with a heavy pipe. Do NOT like the price. I will find something else to put on my stems in the future, but the product does as it says, and does it well.

SOFTY PIPE BITS

May 19, 2018

I have been using Softy Pipe Bits for a long time now. There are a couple of things I like about them. First, I can really clamp down on them with my teeth and it doesn't feel like I'm going to break a tooth. Secondly, it keeps bite marks off the stems as long as you change them before there are any holes in the bits.This helps me to feel much more comfortable with my pipe. I really do like Softy Pipe Bits very much and will continue to use them with all of my pipes.

Awesome

Softy bits review

Feb 06, 2018

I'm new to the pipe smoking hobby and at first wasn't sure that softy bits would make a difference; I was utterly wrong. These robust bits make clenching a pipe exceptionally easy and comfortable. Most of my collection are cheap pipes but with softy bits I feel confident that a more expensive pipes stem will last years and look brand new.

Works great

Being a man who has put holes in pipe stems from grasping my pipe with my teeth while working with my hands, the discovery of the pipe bits has been a No brainer. I can change out a bit frequently and cheaply. No more having to buy new stems or having my wife complaining about ugly pipe stems. A good find.

The suggestion I have for P & C is to measure the diameter of these pieces and put it in the description. There are many selections available on online sites and information like this will be very helpful to buyers.

I'm a softy for softy pipe bits.

Nov 28, 2017

I tend to clench hard while smoking my pipe, so Softy Pipe Bits give me the cushion I need to protect the bit on my pipe stem and reduce stress on my jaw. Softy Pipe Bits also come in small sizes, and that's great because I can use them on my smaller pipes and corncob's as well. Thank you Pipe's & Cigars for carrying softy Pipe bits in all their available sizes.

Softy Pipe Bits Small

Nov 17, 2017

I use both the large and small pipe bits to protect my pipe bits from teeth marks or scars. They do a good job protecting my pipe and aid in holding my pipes since I am now a clincher. The larger bits are used on the larger pipe stems and the smaller bits for the smaller pipe stems like my M/Ms. I wish, I had both sizes 50 years ago and the older pipes in my collection would not be scared.

The Large are too big for my Rossi 626 which is the biggest of my collection

Nov 14, 2017

The Large bits are huge. They were too big all my pipes including my Rossi 626 which has a really big bit and it still slips around on that.

Great fit

Great if you have a wider stem. I also like them because you can take them off easier than the standard size.

I love these bits, which allows me clinch my pipes a lot easer and not damage the stems. I have one on each of my pipes. I need an order of the small bits, but they are out of stock. The large bits are a little large for a lot of pipes and they move slightly on the stem,requiring miner adjustment when you are smoking. The small stems my be harder to get on most pipes, but they stay in place.

No pipe should be without one.

Jun 17, 2017

Every one of your good pipes should have one of these. If you clench, you want to protect your investment from damage.

Never a naked pipe stem!

May 29, 2017

Protect your investment. Even if you aren't a "clencher", you will put some dings and marks in your stems.

Pipes feel Better with Softy Bits

May 26, 2017

Have bought Softies quite a few times and they are particular comfy if you like acrylic stemmed pipes, giving me a soft firm grip of the bit ... The larger Bits fit my regular briars, but I get the smaller ones for my 3 cobs that have smaller stems ... small stems don't feel good in my mouth/teeth, but these softies give make them feel right in my mouth.

another thing I found on P&C that I wished I had known about years ago.

For the well dressed pipe in your collection

None of my pipes are without one of these. Saves many a stem

Great Protection

Works and protects very well when you hold your pipe with your teeth.

Softy Bits make Acrylic Stems Fit & Feel Better in the Mouth

May 07, 2017

I only buy pipes with acrylic stems, so I like the softy bit feel and they also allow the stem to fit securely in my teeth ... they grip more securely without feeling 'slippery' because of the hard smooth finish of acrylics and the feel is cushioned and not hard. I would use them on any type of pipe stem.

great

Very good

They work great for an 82 year old with no teeth to keep a pipe in their mouth. If you can't keep the pipe in your mouth, it falls out onto the concrete, shatters and you have to get another and break it in. bummer !

High Grade is right

Sep 04, 2015

Having tried the "high grade" standard, oversized, and regular pipe bits, I will try to note the differences. The regular bit protector is a softer material with more stretch to it and with a lower profile thickness that some may prefer, but tends to show tooth wear more quickly. The "high grade" standard is made of a thicker and slightly firmer rubber that has not shown as much wear so far. Size wise it fits a Sav unfinished pot like a glove and will wrap around a Sav Trevi 607 bit with more effort. The oversized "high grade" is of similar quality to the standard but about 1-2mm larger in it's resting/unstretched diameter. And of course, much easier on my teeth and wallet so far.

Customer Testimonials

Unless you have a very small pipe you need to buy these. Hands down amazing. I like to still have my hands free while smoking, before my pipe would wobble around because I didn't want to bite down too hard. Now it doesn't move anywhere. bonus- I feel like the added space around the bit helps to give me an even better draw

JL of Grand Rapids, MI

Love these things, good on my teeth as soft as they are. thank you for stacking a great product. jimmy california

JY of Fresno, CA

Whats to say? They fit my MM cobs (Missouri Pride, Eaton, Legend, and Pony Express)

RP of Haltom City, TX

Love these- there is one on nearly every pipe.

CD of Bristol, CT

Should protect the bits on my better pipes. I don't like how the "softy bits" look, but they do make clinching more comfortable.

JW of Hazelton, ID

Went back and forth on ordering these, but should've grabbed them as soon as I saw them. Very sturdy and comfortable for clenching. Grab some and give them a try... you won't be disappointed.

KT of Katy, TX

This is my second time ordering a bunch of these. I put them on all of my pipes to keep from marking up the stems. They work great and are very inexpensive to keep on hand.

TO of Concord, NC

Works great on most pipes. If you've got a stem with a small mouthpiece, such as those found on MO Meerchaum Corncobs, then this'll fit fairly loose. That said, even for those pipe, this does the job.

BR of Lancaster, CA

Great bits, I find myself clenching and chewing on the pipe from time to time. Cracked the stem on one of my cobs from biting down too much.

KH of Woodbridge, VA

These feel great in my teeth and stretched even onto my largest bits.

BL of Belleville, IL

Bits fit over my basket pipe and custom poker. So far holding up remarkably well and allow for some solid clenching.

TL of Jacksonville, FL

They make my pipe bits a bit more comfortable. I have them on each of my more weighty pipes.

JH of Neenah, WI

These are very comfy. I'll be using them on all my pipes.

DG of Weymouth, MA

These are an excellent product. The ones carried here are for large stems, that is wide stems. Smaller stemmed pipes will need the other size, which P&C does not carry at this time. These fit 75% of the many pipes I own.

DW of Ponco City, OK

Personally, I can't get used to these pipe bits. I find it very awkward to use when trying to clench the pipe in my mouth. It also doesn't fit on pipe bits that aren't very big. For example, you will not find a single Missouri Meerschaum pipe that this fits on. It is simple too big to fit around the pipe bit. I think this is something that others may end up liking a lot, but I just can't get used to it.

PH of Deer Park, NY

These feel better in your mouth than the other ones I got. It would also seem that they don't fit as snugly on my pipes as the other ones I have, but other than that they're really very good.
