Vauen: Auenland Toman Sandblasted Churchwarden (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

Inspired by the seminal works of famed English fantasy author and renowned pipe smoker J.R.R. Tolkien, Vauen's Auenland series of pipes comprise fantastical Churchwarden designs marked by long, sleek stems. This particular example, the Toman, is built with an Egg-like bowl, the rim scooped, higher on the aft end than the fore, where the effect is quite subtle, though this belies the bowl's supple curve on the same end. At the bottom of this curve is a pointed heel, angled slightly backward, quickly rising to the shank, a relatively abbreviated portion of briar, which swiftly gives way to a lengthy portion of beechwood that meet a marbled acrylic bit whose colors mimic that of its more natural mate. For those who enjoy the adventures of Frodo and Samwise and wish to own a piece of Middle Earth, or those that simply wish to smoke an attractive, fantasy inspired Churchwarden, this pipe is sure to please.
