Pipe of the Year 2023 (D) Tobacco Pipe

Every year, Vauen releases their annual Pipe of the Year, presenting a single shape in a variety of the workshop's stylish finishes. For 2023, Vauen offers a distinctive bent Brandy, one marked by a tapered bowl and a sinuous shank-and-stem arrangement. The bowl's supple curves and low-set waistline conform effortlessly to the hand, while the shank and stem's languid build promotes a comfortable smoking posture. It's a fetching display of Vauen's shaping prowess, and a testament to their creativity and ability to modernize familiar shapes. This particular piece is dressed in an ebony smooth finish that's elevated by a sterling silver accent.
