Savinelli, the worlds No.1 selling pipe 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! Putting the Italian legacy behind us for a minute if you where to look at the Savinelli range you could be forgiven for thinking they are a classic high end British made pipe. We have received a number of comments over the years from our high end pipe customers who believe the quality of the briar and the finish of Savinelli pipes exceed what is strongly regarded as the epitome of the pipe world and they don’t demand the same price tag (No names mentioned as we are British through and through)
Savinelli Granola Briar Pipe: Part of their Natural series, the Granola features a composite acrylic stem made from warm browns, yellows and whites that is reminiscent of the mixed cereal. The bowls are left unstained and given a smooth finish running along the shank and along the bottom of the bowl before being given the Savinelli rustication process around the bowl. The Granola pipes have a natural pastoral feel to them and are just stunning in their simplicity. Sometimes less is more and that is evident with these wonderful cleanly designed pipes.
Savinelli Granola 601 The 601 is a classic bent Billiard with a tapered, a truly timeless design the 601 is a beautiful Italian briar with a traditional aesthetic. The Granola have been given a "raw" rusticated finish, or rather a finish that has no stain. Pipes with no finish are not very common, because without the covering there is no place for any imperfection in the briar to hide.
6mm Balsa wood filter Unique to Savinelli is their Balsa wood filter system. The shape does not form a seal in the bore of the pipe so allows an unrestricted full flavoured draw but the extremely porous and highly absorbent nature of the Balsa wood is very effective at removing moisture and impurities from the smoke. The filter can be removed for those who prefer a totally unrestricted full on smoke.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a generic image that we have taken from a random selection of this pipe model from our stocks. It is unlikely to be the exact pipe you will receive. Due to the nature of the raw material used and this being a handmade product there will be some variation in grain, colour and finish. There could also be a slight variation in the dimensions provided.
