Vauen: Vintage Sandblasted (4072) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

The fumed rim aesthetic features a gradated stain that transitions from lighter to darker hues toward the rim. Popularized most notably by Italian pipe makers, the motif lends the pipe a rugged and weathered look, and Vauen celebrates the iconic finish in their Vintage line. With roots dating to 1848, Vauen is Germany's premier pipe manufacturer, offering a diverse portfolio that ranges from classic designs and color palettes to pioneering, modern innovations. The Vintage series is one of Vauen's more reserved and traditional presentations, showcasing a range of shapes in a deep auburn stain that gradually darkens toward the rim. Here in the sandblasted version — designated as "40" in the shape code — it's presented across the marque's "72" bent Billiard.

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.
