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 Leonardo 500th Anniversary Briar Pipe: Leonardo Da Vinci is one of the most well known historical figures there are. Having died in 1519 this year marks the 500th anniversary of his death. After a great success of their series inspired by leonardo's drawings, produced between 2007 and 2015, Savinelli have honored him by launching the same unique shapes with a brown rusticated finish enriched with a silver stamp representing Leonardo's portrait. A tribute to a visionary man, curious and without limits, whose ideas are still modern after 500 years since his death

Savinelli Leonardo 11 This full bent heeled Acorn first released in 2011 is inspired by Leonardo's most famous self-portrait "Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk" which is also the image used for the Silver badge.

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 slight variation in grain, colour and finish. There could also be a slight variation in the dimensions provided.
