Levon's pipes are made of excellent Algerian briar. All of the mouthpieces are also hand-made to ideally match the pipes. In his work Levon applies his engineering and jewel-crafting knowledge to make classic shapes that are also correct from an engineering standpoint, which makes his pipes really enjoyable to smoke. | Levon's pipes are made of excellent Algerian briar.
