Alpaca Bowls - USA Handmade Hookah Bowls - Rook

THIS IS NOT A MINI ROOK. THIS IS THE STANDARD ROOK BOWL WHICH IS LARGER.

Alpaca is a titan of the industry, and a good example of what the industry standard should be, and for good reason. They make some of the best bowls, with some of the most practical designs on the market.

The Rook bowl is the most traditional of the bowls that Alpaca offers, as it’s a traditional funnel bowl. The biggest variation on this bowl is the rooked spire, which helps to provide extra airflow and help prevent foil drag. This bowl, as of late, also comes in a much more shallow variety, making it great for dark leaf brands that take a semi-dense to dense pack, however in it’s most traditional format, this bowl excels at fluff pack brands, as it’s a very deep and wide bowl. The traditional rook, while it fits traditional HMD’s, isn’t a great fit for the Provost.

In addition to the standard Rook, Alpaca also has the mini Rook bowl – which is exactly as it sounds, a smaller rook bowl. The mini rook is smaller in diameter, while still maintaining the same relative depth of the rook bowl. This makes it a perfect fit for the Provost, and means that it’s a lot more viable for dark leaf tobaccos, such as Tangiers.
