It’s been raining since yesterday and there’s not much to do outside, so, I did a couple of tampers. I think these are going to be the last of this style.
The large tamper is made from Beech Wood, is approximately 4 inches long and 1/2 – 3/4 inch in diameter. This is a BIG tamper, and feels amazing in the hand. I think this is a tamper for those of you who like Magnum pipes, or, more to my tastes, beautiful vintage Danish Freehands – fill up, light up, tamp a little, and settle back for a good 2-3 hours of sweet smokey heaven. This is the perfect companion for those cherished moments of relaxation and reverie.
The smaller tamper is White Thorn, and is approximately 2 3/4 inches long and 1/4 inch in diameter. This is a very petite tamper, perfect for those of you who want to spend an hour in the company of a favoured flake in a tall, narrow, conical chamber.

Hand Carved Beech Wood and White Thorn Tampers.
Both will age beautifully, colouring from age, oils from your hands, and the smoke from your favoured briar. With careful use and care, they will last you a lifetime, enhancing your enjoyment and accompanying you on journeys into smoke.
