Vauen: Gustav Sandblasted (5715) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

Robustly proportioned yet boasting a pocket-friendly length, Vauen's "5715" bent Apple is a charmingly versatile design. A subtle ridgeline wraps around the bowl's broad base and conforms comfortably to wrapped fingers, while the flanks subtly taper toward the rim. The shank is considerably stout, accommodating a 9mm filter, and that muscularity seamlessly continues into the bowl while the tapered stem is bent just enough to ensure a comfortable, hands-free smoking posture. It's finished here in the light-depth sandblast that characterizes the Gustav series, with the earthy brown stain showcasing the briar's natural grain.
