the lack of a "beavertail"; 8deco's unique spoon is a great tool for cleaning and ember manipulation. It's a small complaint; it is in all aspects a stylish product. Right down to the 8s stamped on the tamper barrel....Read More

For the Stylophile

then he unscrewed the cap to reveal a tamper. The cap does not post, as one reviewer here complains, but it doesn't need to because this is not actually a pen, it's a tamper. It does what it's intended to do. I love it. I have a few, one stays in its box for the collection, and one travels with me as EDC along with real pens. It's wonderful. Great gift idea for pipers who are also penners....Read More

Just to reinforce what everyone else has said. This is a fantastic tool. Very pleasant weight in the hand. Very useful length for the tamper and poker. Keeps things tidy and the tamper head is a fantastic design. If you don’t have one, you should.

My wife gave me this tamper for Christmas 2020. I used it once and instantly fell in love with it. I then promptly lost it the very same day. Now I have ash in my pockets. And I'm profoundly disappointed every time I uncap a pen, only to discover it's just a writing tool :(

A perfect disappointment

's pockets from the ash on the tamper, and 3) a tamper that doesn't roll over when left on an (inclined) table.
The nearest try until now was a Vauen Automatic, but the tamp surface is too small (and it being cylindrical, it ended a few times on the asphalt beneath a Parisian café table, after which I fitted it with a pen clip preventing the roll).
This 8deco was very promising and I agree with most of the other reviewers' comments on quality. For the price point, it's very decently made, even if it is definitely not a Mont Blanc pen, which it eagerly tries to imitate (to me, ending somewhat in the "Look at me, I am an aspiring snob" section). The screw-in spoon/pick is very practical.
However, I find it is 1) quite enormous (longer than a pipe, doesn't fit in my pipe bag...) and very heavy (I'd say about two or three pipes!), an excess weight that's not great for tamping. It was indeed described as "big", but dimensions/weight would have helped.
2) Not an adept of the über-scientific vented tamping surface which gathers loads of ash compared to flat surfaces.
3) By far the most disappointing point is that, inexplicably, the cap cannot be snapped on the back of the tamper, like it would on 99% of pens, Mont Blanc or not!!! What are you supposed to do with this standalone cap, while tamping (or writing)...? Unscrew, tamp, screw again? One more thing to hassle with or to lose. Actually, don't know why, but it is a screw-type cap, and not a snap-on, so the back of the pen essentially lacks a thread for this to work. You can still sort of fit it, but it immediately scratches heavily the acrylic and shiny metal becomes visible.
In a nutshell: so close to perfection that it's more of a failure. 8deco, if you're reading this, put me on the waiting list for the 2.0 version, with a discount....Read More

Just got mine and was pleasantly surprised as to its size and heft. Matches many of my fine writing pens. Love the finish and additional length. Much larger than any of my other tampers. Absolutely love it!
