Vauen: Topas Sandblasted (551) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

This "551" bent Apple from Vauen, one of Germany's oldest and most prestigious pipe manufacturers, features a plump, rounded bowl encompassed by crisp panels. The facets add a sense of firm-lined structure to the composition, while the shank-and-stem arrangements offers a touch of fluidity to the pipe in profile. A rugged, earthy sandblast dresses the stummel and brings vivid definition to the briar. Metallic accents along the stem base and shank face really pop against the shadowy complexion of the pipe.

Note: While all of our other pipes are photographed individually, these are not, and you may expect some reasonable cosmetic variation between the example we've photographed and the pipe you've received.
