About This Pipe
The Savinelli Tortuga series is aptly named, "tortuga" being the Spanish and Catalan word for tortoise. Each briar of this series sports not only a tortoiseshell-patterned stem, but also a domed, shell-like cap with a foam-rubber stopper. The purpose of the latter is to preserve an unfinished smoke which one wishes to pick up again to finish later - no doubt many of us have done just that, only to find the remaining tobacco dried to a crisp since we put the pipe out. Here we find the Tortuga in the form of Savinelli's curious "812" design, which lends something of the aristocratic gesture of the Prince shape to a bold-heeled take on the Canadian.
