That Chacom is a real classic for the volcano shape. Seems like some tobacco would go unsmoked, but if
I loved the shape, that wouldn't stop me. The Peterson 791 is an elegant rendition of the good old Peterson
B11 which comes in various series, the Shannon for example. I'm not sure if this is a subdued volcano or
a brandy, but I have two, a Shannon in a mellow walnut and black grain pattern, and an Killarney ebony "dress"
pipe with two thin silver-colored bands. As you see, these are sitters. It's a good weight pipe with plenty of
room in the bowl, and a dependable smooth smoker. If it fills your sense of a volcano, I can firmly recommend
it as a pipe.

For some reason I've never cared for the look of volcano pipes. I know the briar is better quality (usually) and it takes talent for the carver to carve the shape, but for whatever reason I've yet to see a volcano pipe that speaks to me. Of course as they say, to each their own.
