RC Cellar Works Hand crafted custom tobacco pipe tampers are made in Des Moines, Iowa by Robert Carmell. Rob started life in Sothern California, and is now living in Des Moines. He enjoys the slower pace of the Midwest, where in addition to finding time to enjoy his family, and his pipes, he has also been developing the skills to make unique and beautifully designed hand crafted tampers.
