Tampers & Tools: 8deco Black Leather Double Ended Tamper

Product Number: 001-545-0155

As there are desk lighters, so I would argue are there desk tampers as well: designs that trade off lightness and small size in exchange for more functionality and greater aesthetic presence. This 8deco design is one I would qualify as a "desk" model — it's not exactly short, at over five inches in length, and there's a good amount of (pleasing) heft to it. In exchange for that, you get a more impressive look, and, more importantly, two different styles of tamping ends as well as a 3"-long dottle pick. At the base is 8deco's familiar vented tamper, useful for allowing you to puff and keep things smoldering while tamping; up top, there's the canted style of tamper also found in 8deco's Artist series, ideal for adjusting the glowing ember to keep it centered.

My favorite tamper...

By far my favorite tamper. I love the weight and the holes in the 'flat' end as it allows for more air to get in while tamping. Just feels good in the hand and is VERY high quality. Has been my go to tamper for over a year now and I love it.

I'm not generally the type of pipe smoker who uses tampers, but I have been using this one very often since I got it. I like the angled end for use while smoking most often. The vented foot is also very useful in that it does not put out the embers w... Read More

This is a great tamper, the weight is comfortable in hand and the quality is solid but, the round end is a bit too large to fit more than 3/4 down in some chambers. Otherwise it's a great product.
Very nice tamper

Received this tamper about a week ago, and I've really enjoyed using it. It looks great, is well-made, and its design is well thought-out. I like the perforated tamping head, though as noted by another reviewer it does require a little extra pressure... Read More

Product: Tampers & Tools 8deco Black Leather Double Ended Tamper
I both love and hate this. It's a well made tamper - it feels like a really high quality tool in the hand - and the two ends with different shapes are very useful. But it's also large and heavy for a tamper, which makes it difficult to use with subtl... Read More
Nice Balance, Form, and Function

Product: Tampers & Tools 8deco Black Leather Double Ended Tamper
I've used this for a couple weeks, now, and really like the feel and function. Here's the scoop, though. Since the head is very large, there are TWO MAJOR issues that you need to be aware of. 1. The greater surface area means a lighter pressure... Read More
