Savinelli Punto Oro Sandblasted with Silver (125) Tobacco Pipe

Savinelli's "125" straight Pot is a long, lean rendition, the robust bowl garnering much of the visual attention by being paired with a comparatively trimmer shank-and-stem arrangement. It forgoes the paneled shank seen on the Italian marque's "512 KS" Pot design, opting instead for a round shank and increasing the bowl's height — affording it a deeper chamber. The "125" is also a lengthier, more muscular counterpart to the firm's "109" Billiard, making such a design perfect for fans of the broad-bowled shape that prefer more bowl to wrap their fingers around.

The Punto Oro and Punto Oro Gold series begin Savinelli's highest-quality lines within its standard lineup, topped by the prestigious Giubileo d'Oro. Each Punto Oro pipe is fashioned from Mediterranean briar that's been aged for more than three years before passing ninety separate crafting and inspecting processes to ensure the strictest standards of quality — taking into consideration engineering, construction, and grain orientation. Less than two percent of all Savinelli pipes meet the Punto Oro's rigid criteria, making its pipes some of the Italian marque's most prized and collectible pieces. With a number of traditional finishes presented across the Punto Oro Gold and Punto Oro Classic lines, this particular Punto Oro Gold piece wears a timeless, auburn stain, drawing focus to the briar's natural grain pattern, highlighted by the expert finishing work of Savinelli's artisans.
