Googled tampers today and came across this site (and a couple of others) with some beautiful tampers. I need one of these for my Grabows!

I can justify $200.00 for a nice pipe, but a tamper?? No way, my finger works just fine!

Wow I never imagined a tamper being so pricy! I guess it shows for every price there is someone to pay it.

Very nice tampers, but out of my price range for pipe accessories.. Thanks for sharing the link.

Agree with Jack, the pipe hobby is like guns and golf and cameras; you can spend as much as you want! But on the other side, it just takes a small investment to get started, and you can also participate relatively cheaply.
But I need a tamper with crushed currency. I need it for ... secret reasons.

I remember my mother once showing me the doctor bill from when I was delivered. Hell, those tampers cost more than I did!

little pricey on the tamps but the shave bushes and straight were in line considering the talent level.

It is great work, but too pricey considering what I do to tampers. Kind of like those $12 stone guitar picks. Great tone, but you're out $12 every time you drop one and useless as soon as you hit the distortion.

Outstanding....works of art/tamper is a bonus ;-)
This guy also works wonders and art becomes tamper...becomes art ;-)

Pricing...just like anything...I use a $20./Peterson roll-up bacci pouch...

Dunhill's $200./plus for pouch and pipe case...really....does it hold bacci

better than the $20 buck case....nope... ;-) all about style/what you

can afford and like...If you carry a $200 Dunhill bacci pouch, great...

if you carry a $12 or $20 dollar pouch....great....it is all about the

brotherhood

Well,on Ebag you would have to look for "fastredx" .But I haven't listed anything for a good while. You might have better luck looking elsewhere for "ozark southpaw"
