These tobacco bowls, inspired by chess, are designed to function like a conventional phunnel bowl. They feature notches around the top to prevent the foil from sticking and to increase airflow.

What should you consider when using the Alpaca Rook?
Since all Alpaca bowls are handmade, each product is absolutely unique, and there may be slight variations in size and color gradient. This does not constitute a reason for complaint! With its features, the Alpaca Rook offers a unique and authentic experience with every use.
Note: The heads may differ in shape and color from the photo, because it is ceramic. The bleeding of the head can also not be completely prevented. As a rule of thumb, the hotter the head is fired, the less likely it is to bleed. Since ceramic expands and contracts with each heating, stretch marks can occur in the course of use, which are also no reason for complaint.
