Vauen pipes from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films

Sitting alone at a table in the Prancing Pony inn, a mysterious hooded man draws slowly on a pipe, his face hidden. This is Aragorn making his entrance in the famous Lord of the Rings trilogy. In The Hobbit, which comes before that adventure, we come across the smoking accessories of several characters: Gandalf’s pipe, Bilbo’s pipe. Pipe smoking is in fact the favourite pastime of the heroes and characters of Tolkien’s universal work. When evening falls, each of them draws on a pipe to shake off the tension of the day.

Vauen pipes are available at Smoking.fr

These models are now available to the general public in the Auenland pipes range. They are the work of Vauen, a designer and manufacturer of quality goods since 1848. The Lord of the Rings pipe series is recognisable by its small bowl and its very long, bent stem.

Made in Germany from beech wood, the Vauen Lord of the Rings pipes are aimed at readers of medieval fantasy as much as at smokers who look for well-made equipment with an unusual design.
