Vauen: Karat (434) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

Characterized by a striated rustication created by a special diamond tool, this bent Billiard from Vauen belongs to their Karat series. The rich texture of the rustication leaves plenty of stimulation for the fingers, while striking quite a shadowy profile in the jet-black stain. The rim and shank end are left smooth and wear a vibrant ruddy color, adding subtle notes of contrast to the pipe's design. Coming out of the firm transition, the flared shank gives way to an arcing tapered stem of acrylic. Though full off plenty of handsome detail, this piece is compact, coming in under five inches in length, ideal for those looking for an aesthetically charming and travel-friendly pipe.
