Vauen Firenze 562 Well if the solid Rosewood display case doesn't appeal to you the contents surely will. This Straight Billiard pipe is one of Vauens Premium White Dot pipes and are quite rare. It has been hand carved from a premium high grade briar block. The shank has been extended and hand braided with the raised element hand rusticated to highlight the beautiful grain pattern of this premium Briar. The smooth areas of the shank and the rim of the pipe have been finished with a rich reddish brown stain. The pipe is finished with a silver ring and a flush fitting saddle stem.
9mm Absorbent Filter The Vauen Firenze is designed for use with the absorbent 9mm Filters. The larger diameter allows more smoke to pass through the filter, with less restriction, which makes for a better draw compared to the 6mm filters. The 9mm pipe filters has a very high surface area resulting in excellent absorption of the tar as the smoke passes through without affecting draw or flavour. No mess no fuss, simply throw the filter in the bin when it turns a dark brown colour. The pipes have a standard 9mm bore so can be used with any brand of 9mm filter if preferred. Alternatively the filter can be removed altogether for smokers who prefer a totally un-restricted full on smoke.
