For those who favor traditional shapes but want to try out the smoking properties of meerschaum, this carved Volcano by AKB Meerschaum should happily satisfy. With a curvaceous, broad base, the deeply chambered bowl tapers toward the rim, while the curling shank and amber-hued, gently downturned stem adds a pop of color. The floral carving on the stummel is ornate, the texture pleasing and the paleness will darken to further complement the colors of the mouthpiece with time and enjoyment.
