I never cared about fancy tampers, my Czech tool is just fine, but this thread got me thinking about a unicorn-themed tamper. I looked and couldn't find a single one.

Saw some old, long-gone eBay auction for a bronze horse tamper and a post on here from 2020 where someone mentioned wanting a unicorn tamper as a joke in a thread and that was it. All the other results were for glass "head shop" pipes, despite the fact that I put "must contain 'tamper'" in the search. :rolleyes:

I have been informed by a reputable source that not every bed frame has pipe tampers in it. But every car manufactured since 1930 has quite a few pipe tampers built in. You just need to dig in a bit, mostly in the engine and transmission. Prior to 1930, cars came with valets to light and tamp your pipe.
