Vauen 2026 Pipe of the Year Smooth Green

The standout feature of the Vauen 2026 Pipe of the Year Smooth Green J2026D is its flowing, round Rhodesian style briar bowl finished in an elegant British green lacquer and marked with a hand set sterling silver crossed pipes emblem in the mouthpiece. A talented member of the Vauen team designed the 2026 shape with artistically drawn lines that wrap around the bowl and shank, giving this half bent free form profile a distinctive, expressive character while still feeling remarkably comfortable in the hand. Offered as a limited edition and individually numbered release, the green smooth version sits alongside warm brown and piano black finishes, as well as sandblasted variants that emphasise the grain.

Crafted from premium briar in Germany, the 2026 Pipe of the Year is drilled for a 9 mm filter and comes with a black acrylic fishtail mouthpiece that carries the sterling silver emblem, bent by hand and inset with precision. Measurements for the smooth series are around 146 mm in length, roughly 45 mm bowl height, about 20 mm chamber diameter, and approximately 60 to 62 g in weight, placing this J2026D firmly in the medium category with enough bowl volume for relaxed sessions without feeling heavy. Each pipe is delivered in original Vauen packaging, typically including a case, sleeve, and accessories, underscoring its status as an exclusive collector’s piece that is fully ready for regular rotation.
