Vauen: Piccolo (155) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

With roots dating to 1848, Vauen is Germany's longest-running pipe manufacturer. Vauen is also the originator of the Dr. Perl activated carbon filter, which quickly became a standard feature on all of their pipes. The Piccolo series is composed of compact pipes offered across six shapes in either a brown stain (distinguished by an initial "1" in the shape stamp) or a crimson finish (distinguished by an initial "80" in the shape stamp). Each pipe in the series is adorned with a slim metallic band at the conjunction to a black acrylic stem, and it's presented here in the form of Vauen's "55" bent Billiard, dressed in the Piccolo's deep walnut stain.
