Vauen Inter Style 402 Bent Rhodesian Estate Briar Pipe Unsmoked, 9mm [SOLD OUT]

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 Inter Style series appears to be one which, as the name suggests, combines different styles of pipe design to create distinct results. As evinced by the white dot on its stem – Vauen’s own proprietary weißer Punkt – it is also one of the higher grade lines offered by Vauen, which this dot is used to designate. The pipe itself is a sleek bent Rhodesian, one combining a partially rusticated, black base and a smooth polished rim. To this, Vauen have added a black acrylic stem with a briar insert matching the hue of the rim.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with a factory-original bowl coating to help ease in its first smokes. It also comes with its original box and sleeve. 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 an adapter for non-filter use, if the user prefers.
