<blockquote>''"I have often admired artisan tampers in the collections of friends and those exhibited at pipe shows, but had not actually used one. That changed when I received two wonderful examples made by my friend, Rob. They're not only beautiful, they're a joy to use, working very much better than my old Czech tools, or the tampers I have made myself. They are now a treasured part of my collection, and have truly enhanced my pipe smoking experience."''
