Vauen Nana sand 530

Vauen's Nana series presents a selection of stylish shapes in one of two distinctive versions — either a crisp, dark sandblast or a silky smooth, chestnut finish. For the sandblasted pipes, Vauen has tastefully contrasted the textured stummel with a smoothly polished rim and dressed the totality of the briar in a jet-black stain to harmonize with mouthpiece. For further visual flair, each pipe in the series is accented with a gleaming metallic band inspired by pixel-cut gemstones. Presented is the German's marque's stately "30" Poker, a handsome shape defined by a tall cylindrical bowl, a sure-sitting heel, and an elegantly bent shank-and-stem arrangement.
