Vauen: Pipe of the Year 2020 Dress Smooth (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

Vauen's Pipe of the Year series consists of a singular, unique design handmade by the marque's skilled artisans and offered in a variety of rich finishes. 2020's Pipe of the Year is a flowing, gestural rendition of the bent Egg, with the supple curves of the rounded bowl contrasted by the crisp angularity of the rectangular shank-and-stem combination, creating a dynamic juxtaposition of lines. With a lively curvature that carries off the sweeping heel, through the low-slung transition, and up the shank to the stem, the pipe strikes a sleek, elegant profile that unfurls from rim to bit. This particular piece wears a smooth, all black finish, tastefully accented by a trim metal band for a classy dress-pipe aesthetic.
