As Nicholas Foulkes of GQ put it: \"If Hermès ever made miniature air-hockey pucks, they would look like this.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#8C6F4E;\"\u003eTHE CRAFT\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach stone is built like papier-mâché — glue and board bound together, a lead weight inserted to bring it to championship weight — then two leather discs are applied and a leather strip is fine-edged with a paring knife, glued and burnished into an invisible join. A set of 30 can take as long to build as a whole backgammon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#8C6F4E;\"\u003eTHE COLLECTION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAvailable as: Competition – 51 mm; Tournament – 44.5 mm; Challenge – 38 mm; Fireside – 32 mm; Compact Travel – 25.4 mm.
