AKB Meerschaum: Carved Coloring Bowl Tobacco Pipe

The coloring bowl is an indispensable part of any meerschaum smoker's arsenal, especially if you strive for even development of patina. This secondary bowl sits snugly in the bowl of the primary pipe via its cork base and treats its resting spot similarly to the secondary chamber in a reverse Calabash pipe, allowing moisture to condense and smoke to cool, distributing it through all sides of the bowl before it makes its way through the draft hole. This process encourages the singular colors of patina to develop evenly and, as is the case with this palm-frond adorned example, can even compliment the look of your meerschaum pipe.
