Savinelli Autograph Sandblast
The artisan’s take on a classic bent pipe, transformed to show off the beautiful Ring Grain, and incidentally curved inwards to nestle into your hand.
The grain is worth showing off – ring around the bowl and shank with complementary BirdsEye on the rim and under the bowl.
His final touch is the mouthpiece. Dark with gold highlights echoing the highlights on the rich, deep brown, sandblasted finish.
This pipe was personally selected from the Savinelli factory, Barasso Italy
Punto Oro
The “classic” pipe that made the name “Savinelli” famous all over the world thanks to the high quality briar and to the ultimate care in production. The Gold Dot is the stamp of excellence.
How shattering to find, just as the final stages of preparation were reached, a tiny surface flaw that required a filling.
Too late to downgrade, all that could be done was to stamp the pipe with R for rejected, and offer it to a a small distributor at half price.
We were the fortunate distributor - you are the fortunate pipe smoker.
This is the exact pipe you will get
A stunning grain - just enough Crossgrain to ensure that the rest of the bowl is covered with misty BirdsEye. The rim of the bowl, slightly bevelled for ease of filling, shows signs of the Crossgrain which is the root of the BirdsEye. The Crossgrain continues over top and base of shank and bowl. The specially shaped acrylic mouthpiece is fitted with a natural colour band to echo the lighter areas of the briar.
Very light for a smooth pipe - only 47g. Inner bowl 21 x 35mm - good thick wood.
I didn’t even try to resist the 2024 model – striking shape and arresting finishes, you just have to look twice.
