I love a good juxtaposition. Messy and clean, refined and unkempt, machined and hand made. Throw the opposites together and see what happens. It’s not normal. This is what I’ve done for many pipes, but especially for these tampers. Vintage instrument tuning keys sunken into brass caps by way of my proprietary Monster Mix. But it doesn’t end there. The Monster Mix can be seen, very clearly, and it’s not pretty. Like a world renown musician stumbling onto stage, disheveled and crazed, to offer up the most magical musical experience while completely unrepentant of outward appearances. Please my friend, fine tune your smoking experience with this paradox of old and new, beautiful and ugly, precise and unconcerned.
