Each SAVINELLI AUTOGRAPH is unique and hand crafted by one of the
finest pipe makers in Italy. The well aged briar used is selected from their vast inventory. There
is fine straight grain on the large Billiard style bowl of this unsmoked #4. The quality of the straight grain on the inside of the bowl confirms that this piece of briar is truly outstanding.
Frankly, I am surprised that this pipe was not graded higher. It is easily equal to some of the
#6's I have seen over the past 25 years!
The grain flows nicely through the shank. The bottom
of the bowl has a flat panel and thus this pipe is a sitter as well.
This pipe is flawless
in all respects. There are no sand pits and the draw hole is perfectly centered at the base of the
chamber. The chamber capacity is equivalent to a large Group 6.
This piece feels very
comfortable in the hand and the short shank will make the pipe feel lighter when you smoke it. The
pipe is well balanced. And, with the thick walls of the bowl, you'll enjoy a nice, cool smoke.
This pipe comes with the Savinelli Autograph display box and pipe glove. Included is a packet of Savinelli Balsa System 6mm. inserts which you may wish to use.
