Vauen Auenland Balbor Tobacco Pipe - Smooth

Wow! I was definitely concerned about getting a churchwarden due to so many people talking about the issues with them. They obviously did not have this pipe though. First of all, it is extremely light weight. Shockingly light. Just looking at it in person, and then picking it up, it's just hard to wrap your head around what it feels like. I have had zero issues with gurgling or moisture. I'm not sure if that's because of the filters or not, but have barely noticed any flavor difference with the filters. It is an absolute wonderful smoking experience. I haven't noticed drawing any harder than any other pipe I have. It smokes insanely cool due to the length. I have had an issue with the bowl getting a little hot, but it's only because the smoke is so cool that I forget not to chain smoke this thing. The bowl is a decent size. You get a solid hour out of it at least. The price is steep, but well worth the money. It's such a relaxing experience smoking out of this pipe. Definitely makes me want to look at more Vauen pipes for future purchases.

My new favourite pipe and my first Church Warden. The craftsmanship is excellent and it is my best smoking pipe. Great pipe to relax and read a novel with.
