Vauen Pipe of the Year 2025 Black Smooth

The standout feature of the Vauen 2025 Pipe of the Year Black Smooth is its voluminous thick walled bent apple bowl, developed specifically to fill the hand and support a relaxed, cool smoking experience. Vauen describes this annual edition as a real hand flatterer and eye catcher, with a bold, rounded bowl that immediately draws attention in any collection. In the black smooth finish, the 2025 shape is given a deep, polished sheen that highlights the curves of the bowl and shank while keeping the look understated and elegant.

A softly curved stem is stylishly interrupted by a silver coloured ring, adding a refined accent between the large bowl and the black acrylic fishtail mouthpiece. The pipe is crafted from briar and drilled for a 9 mm filter, combining its generous quarter bent apple form with Vauen’s familiar filter system to deliver a cool, controlled draw during longer sessions. Typical measurements for the 2025 Pipe of the Year series are around 148 mm in length, roughly 49 mm bowl height, a chamber diameter near 21.5 mm, and weight close to 78 g, placing this black smooth variant squarely in the large, hand filling category.
