Newbee tamper tip

[rangerearthpig]

Well, after smoking with a friend over the weekend, my buddy apparently kept my "Neanderthal" whittled stick tamper and my $2

Bic lighter. Not being the quitter type, I improvised....and I must say, Tamper #2 is a tremendous improvement.
The new one is a penis bone from a black bear with a little peyote beadwork. Yes, that's weird....but do YOU have one? :lol:
The benefits: it looks bad ass (in a mountain man kind of way), and it doesn't catch on fire like the stick did. I think this one is a keeper. :puffpipe:

The picture isn't showing up on my end. It may just be my computer. :|
My favorite tamper tip for newbies is to remind them that the pipe's not a cannon, and the tamp is not a ramrod, ha ha. Just crush the ashes before a relight, otherwise, don't overpack it. Just my 2 cents.

Sorry...I have to load pics with my laptop. For some reason the ipad just doesn't do the trick. Used the same photo property address on both. Oh well....you should be able to see it now.
I don't use it as a ramrod. I gently tamp the inside perimeter of the bowl to assure a good central burn. The problem was, the stick I used before was not a hard wood. It was just some random stick. So, it would catch fire.

Very cool. Definitely a conversation piece, ha ha.
I didn't think that you misused the tamp, I was just putting the idea out there :wink:

Inevitably, someone will ask, "Where did you get it?"
From a black bear penis! :nana:

I guess we could say it's no longer Baculum in Black-ulum? Womp womp... :roll:
