Abstract: This combination comprises a pyrophoric lighter having cover means for the lighter mechanism and a tamper device housed entirely within the cover means when the latter is in the closed position. Both the lighter mechanism and tamper device are conveniently exposed in an operative position by simply opening the cover means in a single motion. The tamper mechanism is controlled by the means for biasing the cover means in the closed position or holding it in the open position. The preferred embodiment of the combination is in the form of a pocket lighter which may be advantageously employed for both tamping pipe tobacco and lighting the same.
