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

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.This is the type and style I am looking for. Too bad though, all are SOLD. Just like Folklore, lol
This is why I mentioned it to you! A very subtle way of asking for your help! haha

Would a meer tamper change color like a pipe? Probably but just slower?I actually know a couple of artisan tamper makers. Mostly briar and exotic accents though.
?Being directly exposed to that kind of heat in an enclosed chamber, it would probably color faster.

Why would a meerschaum tamper need a group buy?Did someone say a group buy meer tamper?

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.need it? bulk purchases usually get discounts.
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 stillProbably not enough interest to buy the amount needed to get a bulk discount. SPC had metal footed ones for $30.
