Vauen: Basic Smooth Bent Apple (1400) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

The Basic series from German marque Vauen comprises classic shapes that have been tweaked to showcase their signature muscular style, with this "1400" bent Apple reflecting that quite well. The shank features a rather robust disposition, accommodating the 9mm filters which come standard to every one of their pipes, and its lively upturn leads to a demurely curved saddle stem with dual metal fitments at the base. The bowl is plump and pleasant in the hand, featuring a sweeping heel and supple rounding on all sides, acting as a lovely canvas for the ruddy ruby stain that dresses the stummel.
