Savinelli Punto Oro Sandblasted (1027) Tobacco Pipe

A seldom-seen Savinelli shape, this saddle-stemmed "1027" straight Billiard is presented in the Italian marque's Punto Oro sandblasted finish. The sandblast is particularly craggy, presenting an impressive display of ring grain cascading across the surface of the bowl.

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 piece wears a traditional, dark-stained sandblast, drawing focus to the briar's natural grain pattern, brought out with excellent texture thanks to the expert finishing work of Savinelli's artisans.
