3/8" TAMPERS ARE MADE TO ORDER
Featuring the same design as the classic 5/16" LBC pipe tamper, these thicker tamps are more robust, with a broader tamping end.
LBC pipe tampers feature a pick on one end and a flat head on the other. The pick is used for scraping the bottom of an ash tray or a pipe bowl, while the blunt end is used to tamp down your herbs.
Each piece is forged from mild steel and hot-seasoned using canola oil. They're naturally non-stick and can be consistently "re-seasoned" to ensure a lifetime of use, even if the finish fades or rusts.
Cleaning is simple! Just apply some heat with a lighter to an end caked with grime, then wipe clean with paper towel to clean. Heat and re-season in the same way you do for your favorite cast iron pans, using food safe oil. Re-seasoning is only necessary when rust forms or when you can see bare metal.
Sizing varies piece-by-piece, but in general these tamps measure roughly 4 1/2" (114.3mm) long and 3/8" (9.5mm) thick. Square Twisted tampers and Rope Twisted Tampers are forged slightly more in preparation for the twist, so the tamping ends are just a little under 3/8"/9.5mm (roughly 5/16"/7.9mm) for those types of tampers.
