The Lavart Aurora Sapphire is a phunnel made of glazed ceramic by the Ukrainian brand Lavart. The Sapphire model shows black, cream, green, blue and dark blue. It is about 9.5 cm high and a good 7 cm wide and holds about 21 g of Virginia tobacco or 24 g of Dark Leaf.
Phunnel: one hole in the middle, tobacco in the ring
In the middle of the bowl sits a raised chimney with a single hole. The tobacco lies in the ring around it, the centre hole stays free. This keeps the molasses in the bowl so it does not run into the stem. This suits moist tobacco and longer sessions well. How phunnel, clay bowl and multi-hole bowl differ is explained in our guide on phunnel bowls.
Medium-depth bowl
The bowl is neither particularly shallow nor particularly deep. You pack the Aurora loosely to just below the rim and do not have to press the tobacco down. The heat comes from above and spreads across the ring.
Open rim for HMD or foil
The Aurora has no dedicated lip for an HMD, the rim is open. You simply put on an HMD that rests on top of the bowl. You can just as well smoke it the classic way with foil.
Handmade in Ukraine
Lavart makes the Aurora in Ukraine from ceramic. Glaze and surface give each model its colour. Because the bowls are worked by hand, the colour gradient and small details of the shape vary slightly from piece to piece.
How to pack the Aurora
- Briefly mix the tobacco in the tin so the molasses is evenly distributed.
- Sprinkle the tobacco loosely into the ring around the chimney and do not press it down. The centre hole stays free.
- Fill it to just below the rim so that the HMD or foil does not squash the tobacco.
- Put on the HMD or stretch the foil tight, only pierce holes above the tobacco, not above the chimney.
- Heat up with two to three fully glowing coals and control the heat via the number and position of the coals. Add more if needed.

Can I use an HMD?

Do the models differ?

Handarbeit und Abweichungen
Hinweis: Die Köpfe können in Form und Farbe vom Foto abweichen, da es sich um Keramik handelt. Auch das Bluten des Kopfes kann nicht gänzlich verhindert werden. Als Faustregel gilt: Umso heißer der Kopf gebrannt wird, umso geringer ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass er bluten wird. Da Keramik sich mit jedem Erhitzen ausdehnt und zusammenzieht können im Laufe der Benutzung Dehnungsstreifen entstehen, die ebenfalls keinerlei Reklamationsgrund darstellen.
