Volkan - n. 184
A strongly tactile finish defines this Volkan Billiard, where the traditional architecture of the shape is transformed by deeply rusticated briar. The irregular pattern creates raised and recessed areas across both bowl and shank, while the warm honey-brown colour emphasizes the different depths of the surface and gives the pipe a particularly lively appearance.
The pipe measures 124 mm in length and weighs 62 grams, resulting in a compact and substantial construction. The shank also incorporates the Reverse Calabash System: an expansion chamber allows the smoke to cool and release part of its moisture before reaching the mouthpiece, helping to provide a cooler and drier smoking experience with reduced condensation.
The rugged character of the briar is contrasted by a light-coloured transition and a distinctive red marbled mouthpiece crossed by soft white swirls. Its smooth, bright surface provides an attractive counterpoint to the textured wood, completing a distinctive handcrafted Italian Volkan pipe with both visual personality and an interesting technical construction.
