I got another look at piece from SPEU's Vauen sale.I got in on the sale as well. Caletta 184. First Vauen in the mix for me. Shape reminds me a little of the Chacom Volute (non-apple variant)View attachment 369806

Pretty amazing. First experience with this style of filter and it doesn't impact smoking like some of the wood plugs like Savinelli. How are the two beauties you scored smoking?How’s it smoking?

I think Cup of Joes when they were liquidating their stock. SmokingPipes carries the same model though.Where’d you get the tsuge at?
I LOVE a blast that highlights both the rings and straight grain. It's the pinnacle of a sandblast in my opinion. Absolutely beautiful pipe brother.A Vollmer and Nilsson. My first. This thing traveled across the country twice before arriving. Well worth the wait!View attachment 380115View attachment 380116View attachment 380118View attachment 380119View attachment 380121View attachment 380122
