Can I borrow your tamper?

[fishnbanjo]

I don't lose tampers as a rule but I do have a plethora to chose from. Because I have sub group 1 size pipes up to largish group 4 size I have tampers that fir every need.

Many were gifts, some accompanied the pipe as part of the set. There's everything here you could imagine, golf tee's, wooden rods, Czech tool, a Dunhill White Spot, a Silver one branded Tiffany, one from stone, Morta and brass and my every day carry by Languiole, if I get stuck w/o a tamper it's my own fault but I have dried grape vine cuttings out in my yard for that reason.

Seriously, when I read the header of your thread I was going to mail you a great tamper. I should have realized right away where this was going...lol   In my case it's caused from lack of sleep.

PS
I have MANY tampers and some beauties I've made but I usually end up using a finger. But always have a tamper in my pocket.


KEEP ON PUFFING!!!

Some of those must be real antiques (100+ years old). I've never seen their like. My choice, for effectiveness? The wooden one in the bottom row.
