Tamper for Meerschaum

[Chasing Embers]

I've recently been thinking about getting a tamper that's made out of meerschaum. But it seems most have some sort of silver(ish) cap on the foot end. Not pure meerschaum. That would be neat.

They've got meerschaum only tampers at Altinay and Etsy.

I too looked for the pure Meerschaum tamper but have come up empty. Just might be a business venture here??

Probably not with the apparent lack of demand! I mean, sure several dozen here could be wild about meer tampers, but that's not enough to start a business. And it makes sense to have it as a side bar to, say, carving meerschaum pipes!

This is the type and style I am looking for. Too bad though, all are SOLD. Just like Folklore, lol

They take requests for pipes like most meerschaum brands. That may extend to their tampers.

I'm going to have to give Burak a shout to see if I can get the IMP carvers to make me a tamper.

That's just plain awesome. Tamper commission???

After finally finding one in stock on Etsy....I might as well buy another meer pipe .... ?

I actually know a couple of artisan tamper makers. Mostly briar and exotic accents though.

I'd make em myself if it was allowed to import raw meer here..... ?

Would a meer tamper change color like a pipe? Probably but just slower?

Being directly exposed to that kind of heat in an enclosed chamber, it would probably color faster.



Yes, work is boring tonight.?

Did someone say a group buy meer tamper?

Why would a meerschaum tamper need a group buy?

need it? bulk purchases usually get discounts.

Probably not enough interest to buy the amount needed to get a bulk discount. SPC had metal footed ones for $30. Likely a more durable tamping surface than being completely meerschaum.

I’ve never had an issue using my metal 8deco. I did balk at the $80 price of the meer tamper. I do understand it’s hand carved, but still

Hello guys
Actually i was working on some unibody meerschaum tampers.
But I couldn't complete them due to workload.
Requests in the last few days have helped speed up the process.
So i completed them today.
Most probably they will be listed on my website tomorrow.
