Volkan - n. 173
Compact in the bowl yet slender in its overall development, this Volkan Bottega Oom Paul offers a refined interpretation of a shape with an unmistakable personality. The smooth briar bowl features full, rounded proportions, while the angled rim enhances the dynamic profile and naturally complements the pipe’s pronounced curvature.
The warm, deep brown finish highlights a rich and lively grain, particularly visible across the upper section of the bowl. Measuring 127 mm in length and 48 mm in height, with a weight of 47 grams, this Oom Paul combines substantial proportions with a relatively balanced overall weight.
The short shank ends in a broad polished metal band, creating a distinctive contrast with the darker briar. Particularly striking is the red-brown marbled mouthpiece: long and slender, it follows a broad downward curve and displays darker swirling shades across its surface, making it one of the defining visual elements of the pipe.
Part of the Volkan Bottega line, this handcrafted Italian pipe combines the traditional appeal of the Oom Paul with a more individual choice of colours and contrasts. The dark briar, bright metal band and long marbled mouthpiece come together in a harmonious and distinctive composition.
