I know this is really going to seem ridiculous to you old timers, but WTH.
I've been fiddlefarting around with pipes for over forty years and finally got serious with our hobby around 24 months ago.
This week I received a couple of pipe nails and am astonished with how well they work.
What amazing tools!
There is no pretense or promises offered that can't be recovered. They stir up loose ash and tamp down tobacco. Ba-da-Bing! That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less.
I've got some terrific tampers from well known makers and others I hold dear from good friends. But nothing beats the elegant simplicity of a .95 cent nail.
