Vauen: Curve Smooth (135) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

Vauen's "135" is a unique, sculptural interpretation of the Rhodesian shape. The design features a single pronounced ridgeline beneath the domed rim and a flattened, slightly slanted heel that enables the piece to sit sturdily without a stand. The muscular bowl possesses a forward-surging posture and a decent chamber capacity, while the high-kicking shank-and-stem arrangement offers a comfortable, hands-free smoking posture. This particular piece wears the polished smooth finish and auburn stain of the Curve series, which showcases some lively birdseye across one flank of the bowl.
