Now you will be issued your tamper, tobacco and two matches.

Put your tamper to the bottom of the bowl, push hard and rotate. This will round the edge of the tamper slightly, comforming to the shape of the bowl. Turn the tamper around do the the same for the other end.

This will allow your tamper to go that extra millimeter deeper to compact the last bit of tobacco when you get to the very end.

With the tamper fully inserted mark a line all the way around, even with the top of the bowl.

Invert the tamper and mark the other end as well.

Your tamper is now ready for use. These marks will allow you to see how much tobacco you have left as you smoke.
