Vauen: Kenia (153) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

For those interested in a pipe that's able to be comfortably smoked hands-free, few shapes are more appropriate than the classic Oom Paul. It's one of the most deeply bent shapes and is often rendered on the larger end of the size spectrum, an aspect that combines well with that deep bend, though the overall length is typically reduced because of the bend as well. The bowl shape of an Oom Paul can vary slightly, and Vauen's "153" rendition takes on the tapered persona of a Brandy, lending a slightly softer aesthetic to the muscular form, and this example is found in the smooth finish and multi-colored hardwood accent of the Kenia line — a series named after the German word for "Kenya," and one that celebrates the country's rich artwork and stunning natural landscapes.
