Vauen Hippo 5868

The Vauen Hippo 5868 is a black sandblasted briar pipe from Vauen’s Hippo series, recognized for its rugged texture and signature zebra-pattern accent ring on the stem. Shaped as a bent billiard, it combines classic lines with a bold modern edge. It features a 9 mm filter system and a sleek black acrylic stem. Measuring approximately 133 mm in length, it has a bowl height of about 49 mm, a chamber depth near 41 mm, and a chamber diameter around 21 mm. The bowl’s outer diameter is about 38 mm, and the pipe weighs roughly 41 g, making it comfortably light and well-balanced. Like the rest of the Hippo line, the 5868 strikes a balance between rugged appeal and refined craftsmanship—ideal for both casual and more sophisticated smoking occasions.
