Geoffrey Parker Mahjong Set
In a blink of an eye, 2022 is almost over, and before you know it, you’ll be playing rounds of late-night mahjong with your kakis this coming Chinese New Year 2023. Rather than brushing up your skills with a boring mahjong set, consider switching things up with a luxury set by Geoffrey Parker.
Featuring cigars and drinkware, this mahjong set will no doubt end 2022 and start the new year on a high note.
The design
Red is an auspicious colour to welcome the start of something new, so you know you’re in good hands with this luxurious Geoffrey Parker mahjong set that comes in a crimson hue.
Depending on your preference, you get to choose the material of the trunk made of leather from calf, ostrich or automotive. Pairing it with the interior of the trunk that is lined with black suede, the trunk might just be the lucky charm you need to huat during your games.
A surprise awaits you on the first layer of the trunk ‒ a glorious spread of 20 cigars in both storage sections.
While we’re not encouraging you to pick up smoking, the cigars are by Romeo Y Julieta, a brand favoured by the late PM of the UK Winston Churchill. Perhaps you can use this as a fun fact to wow your friends as you introduce them to the rest of the mahjong set.
Moving on, the bottom three layers are home to the dice, mahjong tiles, and crystal glasses with and without a stem that let you hold your alcohol. No worries if you’re a teetotaller like me – you can still use the drinkware to sip on your favourite holiday blends.
Made of ox bone and bamboo, each mahjong tile is craved by Chinese mahjong artist Liu Jun, who also engraved them in metal casings.
But if that isn’t impressive enough, wait till you check out the middle section of the trunk ‒ it hides away a decanter that comes with a crystal ball stopper. This makes it an excellent way to share a drink with those you’re playing the game with for a complete mahjong experience.
Fortunately, Geoffrey Parker also allows you to bring home only the attached case without the drinkware and cigars if you find everything a lil’ overboard. Unlike the trunk, this case is designed with a number lock to prevent others from misusing your precious mahjong set.
