Italian Estates: Savinelli Autograph Smooth Bent Billiard (00) (6mm) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

Savinelli's Autograph line offers pipes that fall outside of the Italian firm's usual shape chart, and are handcrafted by the workshop's most experienced artisans. Those artisans are given complete creative freedom when shaping the line's pipes, resulting in charming pieces like this bent Billiard. This piece boasts a sturdy, thick-walled bowl that stands at the fore of an upturned oval shank and a demurely curved tapered stem. Said bowl houses a capacious chamber within its plateau-crowned frame, ensuring plenty of long, leisurely smoking sessions, which the fluidly bent shank and stem will deftly aid. Stamped "00," the second highest tier within Savinelli's regular grading system, this piece is among the most distinguished briars within the marque's Autograph line, and it's easy to see why when viewing its grain. Underneath a vibrant honey-hued smooth finish, dense tendrils of flame grain streak across the bowl's flanks, rising from a wide heel marked with a sea of birdseye.
