Fot the golf tee users you can get 4" tees in most sports stores. They're intended for senior players but as a pipe tool maybe a bit better than the standard tee. As a bonus, they come in colors.
I just use my finger, and if im out i'll find a piece of debris on the ground and scoop out the tobacco at the bottom if im finished. I sure hope i dont loose that tamper, i've only got 9more if i do! :wink:
