Kong Bowls

Kong Bowls in the Range

Kong is a name many lounge staff recognise, and its two Turkish-named designs cover different packing habits. Because both have a universal fit, they are an easy upgrade to recommend without lengthy compatibility checks.

Bowls listed

• Kong Turkish Boy – Black phunnel
• Kong Turkish Duet – White
• Kong Turkish Duet – Black

Turkish Boy: a Kong Turkish phunnel

Despite the name, the Turkish Boy is a phunnel bowl. Its raised centre hole keeps the syrup in the tobacco rather than letting it trickle down the stem, which suits the glycerine-rich blends most UK lounges serve. Staff who prefer phunnels for consistency will find it straightforward to pack.

The Turkish Duet

The Duet is a Turkish-style bowl offered in two colours. White shows residue quickly, which helps staff judge when a wash is due, while Black hides marks between cleans and suits darker sets. Many venues keep both so a bowl can be chosen to match the table.

Packing advice

Fluff the leaf first and fill loosely to just under the rim. On the Turkish Boy, keep the central spire uncovered so air can pass freely.

Cleaning

Let the bowl cool before rinsing in warm water, then use a slim brush to clear the holes and dry it completely before the next session.

Where Kong fits

Retailers serving experienced customers will find that a recognised maker on the shelf builds trust, and a couple of Kong bowls next to the tobacco often prompts an extra purchase at the till.

Kong sits comfortably alongside Oblako and Cosmo in a bowl display, giving customers a choice of maker and style.

Supply terms

Kong bowls carry trade rates for approved accounts. Delivery normally takes one working day after dispatch, and pickups can be arranged at our Wembley warehouse.
