Vauen: Taipan (5303) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

This "5303" is a robust straight Billiard, somewhere around a Group 5, with a capacious bowl and a shank-and-stem arrangement that stretches the profile close to six inches in length. A handsome example from Vauen's Tapian line, ready to become a classy workhorse smoker.

With the Taipan line, Vauen offers practical functionality with a distinctively German industrial take on classic shapes. The series is defined by a ruby sandblast to commend the briar's grain and provide plenty of finger traction, with a triple accent at the shank end adding a hint of elegance, and a sleek black stem adding to the traditional appeal.
