Savinelli, Autograph Pipes Ferrari have given the Italians a reasonable edge in the world of motoring but that's not all they strive at. Since 1876 Savinelli have kept the Italians at the pinnacle of the pipe manufacturing game! As if the normal range of Savinelli pipes doesn't stand them in high enough regard Savinelli also raise the bar with their Autograph range. They don't come much finer! Savinelli somehow manage to secure the finest Briar with absolute stunning grains. These are reserved for their most experienced craftsmen to make the one off freehand masterpieces labeled Autograph. There are many stunning freehands about but Savinelli seem to lead the way!
Savinelli Autograph 36 Freehand Briar Pipe Another stunning freehand from the house of Savinelli, as you would expect from a pipe with AA grading the grain is outstanding and really brought to life with the exquisite sandblasting. The shape of this freehand has become a bit of a signature of Savinelli and has become iconic in the world of freehands with very few coming out of the factory but when they do they get snapped up very quickly. The grain flows beautifully and flairs like a fan in perfect symmetry with the shape of the bowl. The front of the bowl is carved and polished smooth which gives a nice contrast against the sandblasting and rustic Plateaux which has been preserved on the top of the pipe. The pipe is finished with a long hand cut Acrylic stem making this the perfect reading pipe to be enjoyed in front of an open fire accompanied with a good novel and a fine malt. A wonderful collectors piece that will be the pride of any collection.
Balsa wood filter Unique to Savinelli is their Balsa wood filter system. The triangular shape does not form a seal in the bore of the pipe so allows an un-restricted full flavoured draw but the extremely porous and highly absorbent nature of the Balsa wood is very effective at removing moisture and impurities form the smoke. And for those who prefer a totally unfiltered smoke Savinelli provide a plug to block the system.
