Savinelli Giubileo d'Oro Smooth (7005) Tobacco Pipe

This "7005" is an elegant, fairly traditional take on the classic Billiard. In terms of size, it would likely equate to a Group 4 or 5 were it made by Dunhill, though it possesses just a touch more substance about the bowl than most offerings from the English marque — or any English marque, for that matter. The bowl is quite tall, with ample room for some choice tobacco, and it's paired to a relatively slender, low-set shank for a sleek profile. Dressed in the smooth finish of the Giubileo d'Oro series, the stummel showcases a wealth of gorgeous grain.

The highest tier within Savinelli's standard lineup, the Giubileo d'Oro series presents the Italian marque's superlative pieces. Meaning "Golden Jubilee" in Italian, the Giubileo d'Oro series denotes Savinelli pipes par excellence, and the strict standards determining Giubileo d'Oro pieces mean that only 0.1% of Savinelli's total production is found worthy of the line's iconic three brass dot stem logo. As such, these pipes showcase choice grain patterns and exquisite finishes — from concisely defined sandblasts to gorgeously arrayed flame grain and birdseye. This particular example wears the line's smooth finish, highlighting the briar's natural grain in a traditional palette.
