Vauen: Quentin (8227) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

Vauen's "8227" is a muscular take on the classic bent Billiard, with a tall, slightly canted bowl and a sinuously bent shank-and-stem arrangement. Though its build is quite brawny, this piece is rather compact in terms of length, resulting in a lightweight design that fits comfortably in hand. This particular rendition is dressed in a glossy, ruby-hued smooth finish that accentuates the natural grain orientation of the briar. A metallic band around the shank end adds a dose of flash to the composition for further visual appeal.
