Vauen: Lime (783) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

Broad and bold, Vauen's "83" Volcano rendition is a unique example of the shape, and this rendition, part of the Lime line of pipes, makes it all the more alluring. With a stummel carved from jet-black oak and with growth rings highlighted in vivid white, this series is meant to evoke the look of limestone, something even further alluded to via the meerschaum-lined chamber. The color palette on offer here is quite striking, though it also manages to be somewhat subdued, classic even, as the two contrasting shades elevate each other. The broad base here places the shank and stem very low on the bowl, and the subtle taper to the rim from the heel keeps things a bit dynamic. Handsome, eye-catching, and utterly unique, this pipe is sure to make itself a regular part of your rotation.
