Vauen: Kira Smooth (115) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

Vauen's "15" shape is an ever-curling bent Apple juxtaposing muscular substance and voluptuous curvature against an elegantly sinuous profile. The S-curve balances the mass of the bowl for a comfortable clench, while the hearty proportions conform naturally to wrapped fingers. This particular example wears the vivid contrast stain of the German marque's Kira line. The series was released in 2021 and named after the Sanskrit word for "ray of sunshine" — the intensive, two-stain finishing process resulting in a thematic presentation accented by bronze- and silver-hued bands.
