Tampers & Tools: 8deco Bamboo Tamper

Product Number: 001-545-0104

Light, simple, inexpensive, functional, and offering an artful look as well, these 8deco bamboo tampers are a bargain. Like many of 8deco's tampers, the "foot" features a ventilated design, allowing you to effectively puff and tamp at the same time - quite useful when coaxing a smoke back from the brink of sputtering out.

Tamp ‘dat ash!!
January 04, 2018
Product: Tampers & Tools 8deco Bamboo Tamper
The design of the foot on this is quite perfect. Holes allow you to draw while tamping, and the concave shape keeps your ember perfectly shaped for a great burn. The edges are thin and just sharp enough to gently scrape the sides of the bowl. Lightwe... Read More

Product: Tampers & Tools 8deco Bamboo Tamper
Have used one for over 2 years. It stays outside in my smoking area in the rain and sun. Still works perfectly! Has taken on a nice tan patina. Others are more beautiful and expensive. This one works perfectly. One exception... If you have a unusuall... Read More

The Ultimate Tamper

Product: Tampers & Tools 8deco Bamboo Tamper
This is the tamper. The price is unbeatable. The holes in the feet facilitate better airflow when tamping while inhaling, providing greater control. The tip is well shaped and rounded enough to be a safe dottle pick. The bamboo colors over time and b... Read More

Product: Tampers & Tools 8deco Bamboo Tamper
Very inexpensive tamper that is worth every cent. Love the perforated plate, which allows smoking while tamping. This makes for very efficient use of draw and heat transfer, and stokes the cherry perfectly.

Product: Tampers & Tools 8deco Bamboo Tamper
I used to only use a pipe nail, but I prefer the round and aerated foot on this tamper. The pick end is also good for stirring dottle, scraping and poking as necessary. Not expensive, and does a good job. Worth it to get a handful and keep a few all... Read More

A little long for my pipe bag but excellent for dedicated home use. Functional shape and mice metal work.The bamboo poker won’t damage the pipes interior like metal might.

Product: Tampers & Tools 8deco Bamboo Tamper
Love this tamper/tool. Feels good in the hand and great ventilation when tamping. Sure beats the typical pipe tool that my buddies picked up at the store.
Use it, it never obstructs air flow.
June 02, 2020
Product: Tampers & Tools 8deco Bamboo Tamper
Like the title suggests, this tamper never blocks airway even when you pack the dottle down to the bottom. Always prepare one or two on the desk in case you have a company. Fair warning, for pipes that are 18-19mm wide, I'd recommend sticking with go... Read More

A cheaper and smaller tamper from 8deco
December 03, 2019
Product: Tampers & Tools 8deco Bamboo Tamper
I dearly love my house tamper from 8deco. That made picking this cheaper bamboo version a no-brainer. The tamper is slightly smaller around than the other thus fitting quite a bit more easily into the chambers of my cobs. Very lightweight, but doesn'... Read More

Good Tamper, Great Price
February 02, 2019
Product: Tampers & Tools 8deco Bamboo Tamper
I bought this 5" long tamper to replace the standard 3.5" pipe nail on deep-bowled pipes. The perforations in the tamper head really do allow you to draw effectively while tamping, but it's not a major asset. The 0.625" head diameter is too wide for ... Read More

I love this tamper. Mostly used for my around the homestead smoking. I love the holes in the tamper that allow for airflow while tamping. The bamboo is a good length with the end shaped to a pick.

Product: Tampers & Tools 8deco Bamboo Tamper
In its simplicity, this is a very functional and uncomplicated tool. I love the length of it because it makes it easier to hold and to pick up off the table. The brass, tamper portion is concave and vented, so you can put a perfect mound on top of ... Read More

My favorite tamper—durable, light, handsome, and inexpensive. I wager it would be a great tool for delicate pipes, like Meerschaums.

Best Tamper for the Money Bar None

Product: Tampers & Tools 8deco Bamboo Tamper
A raw slice of bamboo is the body of this tamper. The one reviewer below who seems to be bothered by this may complain, but I feel that it is an odd note to say the least. It is rustic yet looks very fine. The domed, ventilated, machined-brass foot ... Read More
Disappointed
September 20, 2016
Product: Tampers & Tools 8deco Bamboo Tamper
I must say I was disappointed with this tamper. I realize it is an inexpensive item, but the edges of the bamboo were extremely sharp, making the tamper unpleasant to hold and use without risking a cut. Perhaps I just received a bad example, as most... Read More

Perfect Meerschaum tool
May 25, 2016
Product: Tampers & Tools 8deco Bamboo Tamper
These are perfect for my prized meerschaums. The bamboo doesn't scratch the delicate chamber, and as to the bamboo staining, like meerschaum, it only adds to the patina. As stated by Evan G., the shape prevents them from rolling. I like these so much... Read More
Perfect Tamper
May 20, 2016
Product: Tampers & Tools 8deco Bamboo Tamper
This bamboo tamper comes at unbeatable value, and has lasted over a year. In addition, it doesn't put out your ember when smoking and helps dome the tobacco, all while easily fitting inside most bowls.
Great tamper.
July 25, 2015
Product: Tampers & Tools 8deco Bamboo Tamper
This is the best tamper in the price range available. Domes the tobacco instead of flattening it, fits any pipe bowl, well made and attractive and cheap.
Excellent tamper

Product: Tampers & Tools 8deco Bamboo Tamper
Very nice foot on it that is concave so tat it pushes the side down more than the center so you're ember is not smashed and is made of a hearty brass. An excellent value!

Product: Tampers & Tools 8deco Bamboo Tamper
This is a great little tamper. I reach for it in preference to others I have because it feels nice in the hang. Good size and weight as mentioned by Barry K. I've just ordered a few more to leave them lying around the place.
Excellent Tamper!

Product: Tampers & Tools 8deco Bamboo Tamper
The 8deco Bamboo Tamper is both stylish and utilitarian. The bamboo shaft feels good to the touch. This bamboo tamper is larger and heavier than it looks in the picture, and in a very good way.
