Savinelli, the world's 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 Morellina 6mm Briar Pipe: The Savinelli Morellina series takes it's name from the endearment of "moro", a traditional Italian noun meaning "Dark Brown", With a dark brown bowl in the smooth finish and a black bowl in the rusticated finish, the Morellina is distinguished by the beautiful brown Cumberland style stem. The 614 is a classic Billiard with a very pronounced bend that gives a extraordinarily elegant shape.
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.
MARBLED STEMS: The marbled mouthpiece in this picture is a one off and is unlikely to be the exact mouthpiece you will receive. There is variation from pipe to pipe with substantial differences in colours, patterns and marbling.
