Vauen Rose 8371 Smooth Bent Egg w/ Aluminum Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked, 9mm

Description

Vauen stems from Germany’s oldest tobacco pipe manufacturing company, tracing its roots back to the founding partnership of Karl Ellenberger and Carl August Ziener in Nuremberg, 1848. Out of the Ellenberger-Ziener partnership soon came the Vauen make itself, which grew to become Germany’s largest and most enduring pipe brand – a title that it continues to hold to this day.

Vauen’s Rosé line has more to it than meets the eye, and indeed than the name gestures at. One can see why it might have been called “Rosé,” given the light, reddish finish each wears, though the centerpiece is the unmistakable collar found at the end of the Rosé’s shank. Though it may look like a vibrant ring of ebonite, it is in fact anodized aluminum, which has been carefully engraved to mimic the patterning of Damascus steel. This Rosé takes the form of a rather Danish egg. Today, such shapes are hardly new, though, as ever, Vauen has managed to make unique of it here.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating, having come to us as part of a new old stock lot from a shop closure. As with most Vauen pipes, it is chambered to allow for the use of 9mm filters if desired.
