Firstly, there is the search for the finest briar burls. From these roots harvested from the hard dry soil of the mountainous regions around the Mediterranean Sea, Charatan experts select the best briar which distinguishes their pipes. Once the carefully selected wood is permitted to mature naturally and slowly, Charatan craftsmen lend their expertise in creating crafted sculptures. The briar, harvested from beneath the surface of the earth, possesses a unique mixture of toughness and porosity, so the pipe will breath and remain cool.
