What is the Most Unusual Thing You've Used as a Tamper?

[zonomo]

Today I am at my gf's house and getting ready for a nice smoke but I dont have a tamper! So I had to use the tip of a drumstick I got from the lead singer of the B52's. I was in the front row of a concert when he was playing the cowbell in that song Rock Lobster. After the song, he handed me the drumstick. It turned into today's tamper. ::

Lol! I just stick my finger in there. I usually have a lighter/tamper combo with me though.

Nothing unusual, deer antler, pipe tool, homemade wooden tampers.

I've used my finger once or twice. I've used a nail. A stick or twig. That's about it.

I used a (closed of course) tube of Chap Stik today ont the way home from work. I forgot my tamper on my desk and it was handy, so...a tamper it became.

B52s drumstick takes the cake! A stick from the yard for me.

If I'm lighting up at work (jeweler) I often use a small bezel mandrel end as an initial tamper before I go outside.

I've used a trumpet valve stem with a brass cap.

I've used a trumpet valve stem with a brass cap.

You are my new hero, brilliant, and with me being a trumpet player I've been wasting a perfectly good golf tee on my pipe.

The bottom of a small axe body spray (as seen in this video) that i keep in my work van due to being smelly in hot weather. i use it a lot actually.

Well before I grabbed the drum stick, I saw 3 .9mm rounds on the dresser and I'm embarrassed to say my first thought was "hummmmm... just maybe".

Even though I always have a tamper handy in one of my pockets, coalsmoke and I use the same method.

If I told you... I'd have to kill you.

I honestly never use a tamper, it's always my index finger. Once or twice I've used a nail but my finger seems to work best for me and I never forget to bring it when I want a smoke.
