My New Vauen Royal 569 has Arrived!

I couldn't be happier. I ordered it from SP on Monday and it arrived in NY today. Pipe is beautiful and just the right size for me. Sandblast and SS band are perfect. Some new tobacco also to try out.

Ohhh. Pretty!

I've wanted one of these for awhile now but have been hesitant because the size of the stem looks incredibly short, how well does it fit in your mouth does it feel like it will just fall out?

It feels pretty good to me, although I am not a clencher. The bit is a little narrower than my larger Rattray or Savinelli billiards, but wider than a MM Corn Cob Italian acrylic stem. It doesnt feel short to me. It is a lovat. My first one. Everything is VERY tight and appears well constructed and engineered.

Nice!

Now that is one pretty pipe.

I did try clenching it gently and there was plenty of room. Pic next to my much larger Savinelli.

Very nice. I have one of these models from years ago I bought as an estate. It’s a great pipe, and yes, easy to clench. In fact, it’s much easier than a lot of other pipes I have. I love Vauens.
