The Crown Jewel of the South.
The Candombe - Torpedo Uruguayo is a masterpiece of the Rio de la Plata. This isn't just a mate; it's an heirloom. Compact, powerful, and unmistakably bold, the "Torpedo" silhouette is the absolute favorite among true yerba mate connoisseurs. Named after the vibrant Afro-Uruguayan rhythm, this piece is engineered for those who demand absolute perfection, durability, and luxury from their daily ritual.
Why it’s the ultimate connoisseur’s choice:
The Lacquered "Virolón" Experience: Crowned with an extra-wide, heavy-gauge Alpaca (German Silver) rim. The intricate hand-chiseled patterns are masterfully accentuated with traditional lacquer (cincelado en lacre), providing a stunning visual contrast. This wide opening is specifically designed to help you craft the perfect "montañita" (mountain of yerba) for a long-lasting session.
Alpaca & Bronze Foundation: Look closely at the base. Unlike standard torpedo gourds, the Candombe stands on a solid Alpaca reinforcement, elegantly elevated by traditional bronze ball feet (bolitas de bronce). This intricate metalwork adds unmatched stability, protects the leather, and delivers a touch of 19th-century luxury.
Select Thick-Walled Gourd: Built around a meticulously hand-selected Brazilian gourd. This premium organic interior absorbs the essence of your favourite yerba over time, creating a flavour profile that is completely unique to you.
Elite Leather Finish: Wrapped in first-selection cowhide leather with a masterful stitch. The texture is smooth, warm, and designed to age beautifully, developing a unique patina over the years.
The Complete Ritual - Ready to Enjoy:
Every Candombe arrives as a curated set, including our signature Limay Stainless Steel Bombilla. Named after the crystal-clear waters of the Patagonian Andes, the Limay is a high-flow, durable, and easy-to-clean straw designed to complement your premium gourd from day one.
The Master’s Upgrade:
The "Del Plata" Collection (Exclusive Offer) Why stop at the gourd? Elevate your ritual to the absolute highest level by pairing your Candombe with a real hand-chiseled Alpaca Bombillón.
