Vauen 3312 Smooth Straight Apple Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked, 9mm [SOLD]

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.

Like Vauen’s shape 3311, there isn’t a name for the 3312. But, like the 3311 we previously listed, there is a Danish quality to this pipe that is quite evident. I’ve called this one a chubby apple, due to its broader stature. It also has an interesting, faceted shank and a very modern, flared stem. All in all it’s a beautiful smoker, with a great hand-feel, and pretty nice grain, too.

This Vauen is completely unsmoked, with a factory-original bowl coating to help ease in its first smokes. The pipe also comes with its original box and sleeve. The box itself has a little wear, so I’ve adjusted the price to reflect that (the pipe, on the other hand, is pristine).

As with most Vauen pipes, it is chambered for 9mm filters, such as Vauen’s own or Savinelli’s balsa filters. It should also accommodate some variety of adapter for non-filter use, if the user prefers.
