ABSTRACT:
A pipe tamper for and a method of tamping tobacco in a pipe bowl is disclosed. The pipe tamper includes a handle, preferably detachable, and a tamping head of a size to fit within the pipe bowl and having a face at an angle of from about 10.degree. to about 65.degree., and preferably 22.5.degree., to a plane extending through the tamping head thereby providing an angled face with a leading edge and trailing edge. Preferably, the handle is detachable and includes a pick which may be used to clean tobacco ashes from the pipe bowl.
The method comprises tamping the tobacco's upper surface adjacent inner sides of the bowl generally into a compressed outer ring substantially devoid of air pockets and leaves the central portion with air pockets which provide a slower burning central portion and a faster burning outer ring resulting in a substantially even burn from the outside to the inside. Preferably, to make the pack continuously correctly packed from top to bottom, the pipe bowl is partially filled with tobacco, about half full, then tamped as indicated previously, then the pipe bowl is filled to the top with additional tobacco and tamped in the same manner and additional tobacco is added and again tamped in the same manner. The upper surface of the tobacco is then lit with a fire and again tamped as indicated thereby pressing down the ash so that it acts to "coke" the fire and also filters the smoke which is accomplished by the fine ash falling through the air pockets or spaces in the unburned tobacco.
