As many of you know I recently had my pipes stolen and along with those my favorite tamper. I had it made by our own ejames. The earlier one had a .500 Magnum shell casing, ventilator metal pipe shank and brass push pick. I asked Ed if he could duplicate it. We did a little different design this time around though. Still went with the .500 Mag shell. I got these back when my best friend got married. We went and shot fully automatic weapons as well as the .500 mag revolver at the bachelor party. I saved a few of the shells. The first tamper was made from one, and this one is as well. I liked the Ventilator pipe shank repurposed and they just look really cool buffed up. So Ed tracked one down for me and then he put in a Briar accent piece stained red. The pick has a screw in design and is stainless steel. If anyone wants a tamper that will last for a lifetime you should get Ed to make you one, his craftsmanship is of the highest quality. I know for me my pipes are like old friends and each one is special in its own way, but I feel the same way about my tamper, perhaps more so as it is with me for every smoke, and I have missed it. Thanks again Ed for my little work of art!
