Vauen Auenland GILG

Inspired by the seminal fantasy works of British author and pipe smoker J.R.R. Tolkien, Vauen's Auenland series presents a range of distinctive Churchwardens. The series fittingly translates to "Shire" in German — a reference to Tolkien's land of Middle Earth — and all Auenland pipes are distinguished by a long stem crafted from beechwood for a thoroughly rustic style. Lined with acrylic, though, and fitted with an acrylic bit, these stems offer modern smoking comfort and easy cleaning while maintaining a consistent all-wood aesthetic. This particular Gilg shape is a dynamic Acorn design, presented here in a smooth finish and drilled to accommodate a 9mm filter.
